Questions & Answers about Danas nisam u uredu.
Why is it uredu and not ured?
Ured is a masculine noun meaning "office". Because we are talking about a location (in the office) using the preposition u, the noun must take the locative case. For masculine nouns, we form this by adding -u to the end, making it uredu.
Is nisam a single word for "I am not"?
Where is the word for "I" (ja) in this sentence?
It is left out because nisam already tells us exactly who we are talking about (I am not). In Croatian, subject pronouns like ja are usually dropped unless you really want to emphasize who is doing the action.
Wait, doesn't u redu mean "okay" or "alright"?
Yes, but look closely at the spelling! U uredu means "in the office" (from the noun ured). The phrase for "okay" is u redu, which literally means "in order" (from the noun red). They sound very similar but are different words!
