Questions & Answers about Tražimo igračke i odijela.
Wait, I thought feminine words in the accusative case end in -u. Why does igračke end in -e?
That is true for the singular! The dictionary word for toy is igračka. If we were looking for one toy, it would be Tražimo igračku. But here we are looking for multiple toys. For feminine words in the accusative plural, the ending is -e, making it igračke.
Why does odijela end in -a instead of -e like igračke?
Because odijelo (suit) is a neuter noun, not a feminine one. In the accusative plural, neuter words drop their singular -o or -e ending and always take -a.
Do igračke and odijela look the same here as they would if they were the subject of the sentence?
Yes! For both feminine and neuter nouns, the accusative plural (when they are the direct object, like in this sentence) looks exactly the same as the nominative plural (when they are the subject).
Where is the word for 'we' in this sentence?
In Croatian, you usually drop subject pronouns like mi (we) because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -mo ending on tražimo clearly means 'we are looking for'.
