Questions & Answers about Redar stoji na ulazu.
What does redar mean exactly?
Redar is a masculine noun meaning something like usher, steward, attendant, or security guard/orderly, depending on context.
It is a fairly broad word. For example:
- at a concert or stadium: steward
- in a cinema or event hall: usher
- in a public or official setting: attendant or guard
So the exact English translation depends on the situation.
What does stoji mean here?
Stoji is the 3rd person singular present tense of stajati, meaning to stand.
So Redar stoji na ulazu literally means The usher/guard is standing at the entrance.
In Croatian, stajati can also sometimes mean to be positioned or to remain standing, so it may sound slightly more physical and visual than a simple English is.
Why is it na ulazu and not na ulaz?
