Questions & Answers about Danas su hoteli puni.
Why does the word for full end in -i (puni)?
In Croatian, adjectives must match the gender and number of the noun they describe. Because hoteli (hotels) is a masculine plural noun, the adjective pun (full) takes the masculine plural ending -i to become puni.
How do we know hoteli is masculine plural?
The singular form is hotel, which ends in a consonant, making it a masculine noun. To make most masculine nouns plural in the nominative case, you simply add -i to the end, giving us hoteli.
Why is su (are) placed right after danas (today) instead of after hoteli?
The word su is an enclitic, which is a short, unstressed word. A strict rule in Croatian is that enclitics usually go in the second position of the sentence. Here, it takes the second spot right after the first word, Danas.
Why isn't there a word for "the" before hoteli?
Croatian does not have definite or indefinite articles like "the", "a", or "an". The word hoteli alone means either "hotels" or "the hotels" depending entirely on the context of the sentence.
