Questions & Answers about Operator ima tarifni paket i unaprijed plaćenu uslugu bez obračunskog razdoblja.

Why is tarifni paket not changed after ima, but unaprijed plaćena usluga becomes unaprijed plaćenu uslugu?

Because both phrases are direct objects of ima, so they are in the accusative case.

The difference is due to gender:

• tarifni paket is masculine inanimate singular, and in Croatian the accusative form of masculine inanimate nouns is usually the same as the nominative.
• unaprijed plaćena usluga is feminine singular, so in the accusative it changes to unaprijed plaćenu uslugu.

So:

• nominative: tarifni paket, unaprijed plaćena usluga
• accusative: tarifni paket, unaprijed plaćenu uslugu

What case is bez obračunskog razdoblja, and why?

It is in the genitive case because the preposition bez always takes the genitive.

Dictionary form:

• obračunsko razdoblje = nominative singular

After bez:

• bez obračunskog razdoblja = genitive singular

Both the adjective and noun change:

• obračunsko → obračunskog
• razdoblje → razdoblja
