Questions & Answers about Zamjenski let nije dostupan zbog izvanredne okolnosti.

What does zamjenski let mean exactly?

It means replacement flight, substitute flight, or sometimes alternative flight, depending on context.

Here, zamjenski is an adjective meaning replacement/substitute, and let means flight. So zamjenski let is literally a replacement flight.

Why does zamjenski look different from dostupan? Why zamjenski let, but nije dostupan?

Both are adjectives, but they are used in different positions.

• zamjenski comes directly before the noun: zamjenski let
• dostupan comes after the verb biti in the predicate: let nije dostupan

In Croatian, adjectives before a noun and adjectives used as part of the predicate do not always look the same. So dostupan is the normal form in nije dostupan.

Also, both adjectives agree with let, which is masculine singular.

Why is let not changing its form here?
