Questions & Answers about Punomoćnik predočuje dokument.

What case are punomoćnik and dokument in?

Punomoćnik is nominative singular, because it is the subject of the sentence.

Dokument is accusative singular, because it is the direct object: it is the thing being presented.

So the structure is:

• punomoćnik = the person doing the action
• predočuje = the action
• dokument = the thing affected by the action

Why does dokument look the same as the dictionary form?

Because dokument is a masculine inanimate noun, and in Croatian the accusative singular of masculine inanimate nouns is usually the same as the nominative singular.

So:

• nominative: dokument
• accusative: dokument

That is completely normal.

Compare that with a masculine animate noun, where the accusative usually changes:

• nominative: punomoćnik
• accusative: punomoćnika
