Questions & Answers about Završetak radova je važan.
Why is radova in the genitive plural?
Because završetak is a noun meaning completion / finishing, and nouns like this commonly take a genitive complement in Croatian.
So:
- završetak = completion
- radovi = works, construction works, operations, jobs
- radova = of the works / of the construction work in genitive plural
This is similar to how English says the completion of the works.
The basic pattern is:
- završetak nečega = completion of something
Examples:
- završetak projekta = completion of the project
- završetak škole = finishing school
- završetak radova = completion of the works
Why is radova plural and not singular?
