That case is still difficult for me, but its meaning is clearer to me now. | Taj padež mi je još težak, ali njegovo značenje mi je sada jasnije. |

question mark | upitnik |
exclamation mark | uskličnik |
The teacher said that a question mark goes at the end of a question, and an exclamation mark at the end of a short message like “Come immediately!”. | Učitelj je rekao da upitnik ide na kraj pitanja, a uskličnik na kraj kratke poruke kao "Dođi odmah!". |

someone's | nečiji |
There is someone’s blue jacket on the chair. | Na stolici je nečija plava jakna. |

formal | službeni |
In a message I often write the abbreviation “npr.”, but in a formal email I prefer to write the whole expression. | U poruci često napišem kraticu "npr.", ali u službenom e-mailu radije pišem cijeli izraz. |

When I read aloud, I hear more easily where a comma or a question mark is missing. | Kad čitam naglas, lakše čujem gdje nedostaje zarez ili upitnik. |
In a formal email I almost never use an exclamation mark, but in a message to a female friend I sometimes use it. | U službenom e-mailu skoro nikad ne stavljam uskličnik, ali u poruci prijateljici ponekad ga koristim. |
