Imamo kontakt s uredom.

In Croatian, the verb ending already tells you the subject.

• imam = I have
• imaš = you have
• ima = he/she/it has
• imamo = we have
• imate = you (plural/formal) have
• imaju = they have

So Imamo kontakt s uredom already means We have contact with the office.
You could add mi for emphasis — Mi imamo kontakt s uredom — but it is usually unnecessary.

Croatian does not use articles like a or the.

So ured can mean:

• an office
• the office
• simply office

The exact meaning depends on context. In your sentence, s uredom is understood as with the office because the context already makes it clear.

Because the preposition s meaning with requires the instrumental case.

The noun ured changes form in the instrumental singular:

• nominative: ured
• instrumental: uredom

So:

• s uredom = with the office

This is a very common pattern in Croatian:

• s prijateljem = with a friend
• s obitelji = with the family
• s direktorom = with the director

Uredom is in the instrumental singular.

The base form is ured.
After s meaning with, Croatian uses the instrumental:

• ured → uredom

For many masculine nouns, the instrumental singular ending is -om or -em.

Yes, here kontakt s + instrumental works much like English contact with.

So:

• Imamo kontakt s uredom = We have contact with the office
• Ona je u kontaktu s njima = She is in contact with them

Croatian can express this idea in more than one way, for example:

• imati kontakt s nekim/nečim = to have contact with someone/something
• biti u kontaktu s nekim = to be in contact with someone

Both are natural, though biti u kontaktu s... is often especially common in everyday speech.

Usually the basic form is s.

Croatian also has sa, which is used mainly to make pronunciation easier, especially before certain consonant clusters or words beginning with s, š, z, or ž.

Examples:

• sa sestrom
• sa školom
• sa mnom

With uredom, the usual form is s uredom.

Yes, Croatian word order is fairly flexible.

Imamo kontakt s uredom is a neutral, natural order. But other orders are possible if you want different emphasis:

• Kontakt s uredom imamo. = puts more focus on contact with the office
• S uredom imamo kontakt. = emphasizes with the office

English depends more on fixed word order, but Croatian often uses word order to show emphasis or style rather than basic grammatical meaning.

It is a borrowed international word, and it is very common in Croatian.

It behaves like a normal masculine noun:

• kontakt = contact
• kontakta = of contact / contact's
• kontaktu = to contact
• kontaktom = with contact

In this sentence, kontakt is in the nominative singular because it is the object-like noun after imamo in its basic form.

Because kontakt is the direct object, and for this noun in the singular, the accusative form is the same as the nominative.

For many masculine inanimate nouns in Croatian:

• nominative singular = accusative singular

So:

• nominative: kontakt
• accusative: kontakt

That is why you see:

• Imamo kontakt.

But with animate masculine nouns, the accusative usually changes:

• vidim prijatelja = I see a friend

The noun ured most commonly means office, especially an office as an institution or administrative office.

Depending on context, it can refer to:

• a physical office
• an office department
• a bureau or official office

So s uredom could mean contact with:

• the office staff
• the office as an institution
• a specific administrative office

The exact nuance comes from the situation, not from the grammar alone.

Sometimes, but it does not mean exactly the same thing in every context.

• kontakt s uredom = contact with the office
• veza s uredom = connection/link with the office

Kontakt is the more direct equivalent of English contact.
Veza can mean a link, connection, relationship, transport connection, or even romantic relationship depending on context.

So if you specifically mean regular communication or being in touch, kontakt s uredom is the safer choice.

A rough pronunciation is OO-reh-dom.

More precisely:

• u like oo in food
• r is a rolled or tapped r
• e like e in bed (but shorter and clearer)
• d as in dog
• o like o in for, but usually shorter and purer
• m as in man

Croatian pronunciation is generally quite regular, so words are usually pronounced much as they are spelled.
