Breakdown of Odvodno crijevo može propuštati.
Questions & Answers about Odvodno crijevo može propuštati.
Literally, odvodno crijevo means drain hose or outflow hose.
- odvodno = draining, outlet, discharge-related
- crijevo = hose, pipe, tube
In everyday appliance-related Croatian, crijevo is often used for a flexible hose.
Because crijevo is a neuter noun, and the adjective has to agree with it in gender, number, and case.
Here the noun is:
- crijevo = neuter singular nominative
So the adjective must also be neuter singular nominative:
- odvodno
Compare:
- odvodni kabel = drainage/outlet cable (masculine)
- odvodna cijev = drainage pipe (feminine)
- odvodno crijevo = drainage hose (neuter)
It is in the nominative singular.
That is because it is the subject of the sentence:
- Odvodno crijevo može propuštati.
- The drain hose can leak.
The thing doing the action is the hose, so nominative is used.
