U nominativu kažemo "učiteljica", a u akuzativu "vidim učiteljicu".

subject
subjekt
predicate
predikat
The professor says that in the sentence “Ana reads,” the subject is Ana and the predicate is reads.
Profesorica kaže da je u rečenici "Ana čita" subjekt Ana, a predikat čita.
expressed
izrečen
In this sentence the subject is expressed, so the meaning is clearer.
U ovoj rečenici subjekt je izrečen, pa je značenje jasnije.
to recognize
prepoznavati
In the second sentence, the subject is not expressed, but the predicate is easy to recognize.
U drugoj rečenici subjekt nije izrečen, ali se predikat lako prepoznaje.
pronoun
zamjenica
in place of
umjesto
Instead of a taxi, we are going to the city by bus.
Umjesto taksija, idemo autobusom u grad.
conjunction
veznik
to connect
spajati
This bridge connects two cities.
Ovaj most spaja dva grada.
This pronoun stands in place of a noun, and this conjunction connects two sentences.
Ova zamjenica stoji umjesto imenice, a ovaj veznik spaja dvije rečenice.

The exercise says that one should correct the pronoun and underline the conjunction.
U zadatku piše da treba ispraviti zamjenicu i podcrtati veznik.
infinitive
infinitiv
present tense
prezent
can
moći
If we have time, we can go for coffee after the meeting.
Ako budemo imali vremena, možemo poslije sastanka otići na kavu.
I recognize the infinitive “to read” easily, but the present tense of the verb “can” is still hard for me.
Infinitiv "čitati" lako prepoznajem, ali mi je prezent glagola "moći" još težak.
perfect tense
perfekt
to make mistakes
griješiti
We all sometimes make mistakes, but that is not a problem.
Svi ponekad griješimo, ali to nije problem.
I often make mistakes in the perfect tense, so I still have to practice both the present and the perfect.
U perfektu često griješim, pa moram još vježbati i prezent i perfekt.
underlined
podcrtan
The underlined word is not a noun, but a verb.
Podcrtana riječ nije imenica, nego glagol.
nothing
ništa
I understand nothing when you speak too fast.
Ništa ne razumijem kad govoriš prebrzo.
except
osim
Today everyone is coming to the meeting except him.
Danas svi dolaze na sastanak osim njega.
Nothing except the infinitive is underlined on the board, so the pupils ask what they should write down.
Na ploči nije podcrtano ništa osim infinitiva, pa učenici pitaju što trebaju zapisati.

In the first field it says first name, and in the second last name.
U prvoj rubrici piše ime, a u drugoj prezime.

In this column you should write the present tense, and in that column the perfect tense.
U ovom stupcu treba napisati prezent, a u onom stupcu perfekt.
In the genitive we say “without time,” and in the locative “about time.”

In the dative I write to grandmother, and in the accusative I see grandmother every Sunday.
U dativu pišem baki, a u akuzativu vidim baku svake nedjelje.
The instrumental is easier when I practice with the teacher, but the vocative still feels strange to me.
S instrumentalom je lakše kad vježbam s učiteljicom, ali mi je vokativ i dalje čudan.

Na početku je bilo dogovoreno da radimo u parovima, ali je na kraju odlučeno da zadatak riješimo sami.
In one field “present tense” is already written, and in the other “perfect tense” still has to be added.
U jednoj rubrici već je napisano "prezent", a u drugoj još treba dodati "perfekt".
At school it is usually easier for us when everything is clearly written on the board and when there are no new notes in the class register.
U školi nam je obično lakše kad je na ploči sve jasno napisano i kad u dnevniku nema novih napomena.
omitted
izostavljen
In this sentence, the conjunction is omitted.
U ovoj rečenici veznik je izostavljen.
while
a
I am studying Croatian while my sister is writing a message.
Ja učim hrvatski, a moja sestra piše poruku.
Could you please explain to me once again why in that sentence the subject is omitted, while the predicate remains in the singular?
Možete li mi, molim vas, još jednom objasniti zašto je u toj rečenici subjekt izostavljen, a predikat ostaje u jednini?
to determine
odrediti
I can't determine whether this word is a noun or a verb.
Ne mogu odrediti je li ova riječ imenica ili glagol.
When I am tired, I first look at the conjunction and the verb, and only then do I try to determine the case and the pronoun.
Kad sam umorna, najprije gledam veznik i glagol, a tek onda pokušavam odrediti padež i zamjenicu.
If something is not clear, the professor says that it is better to ask immediately than to have to correct the whole exercise later.
Ako nešto nije jasno, profesorica kaže da je bolje odmah pitati nego poslije morati ispraviti cijeli zadatak.
left
lijevi
My left arm still hurts.
Lijeva ruka me još boli.
correctly
točno
The professor says that we have to use the accusative correctly.
Profesorica kaže da moramo točno upotrijebiti akuzativ.
In the right column I got the present tense wrong, but in the left field I correctly wrote the infinitive.
U desnom stupcu sam pogriješila prezent, ali sam u lijevoj rubrici točno napisala infinitiv.
When I read aloud, I hear more quickly where a conjunction is missing and where the perfect tense does not sound natural.
Kad čitam naglas, brže čujem gdje nedostaje veznik i gdje perfekt ne zvuči prirodno.
surname
prezime
Could you tell me your surname once again?
Možete li mi još jednom reći svoje prezime?
On the form, I first write my first name, and then my surname.
Na obrascu prvo pišem svoje ime, a onda prezime.
