Questions & Answers about Nakon završetka radova sastavite zapisnik o primopredaji.
Why does nakon take završetka and not završetak?
Because nakon is a preposition that requires the genitive case in Croatian.
- basic form: završetak = completion / end
- after nakon: nakon završetka = after the completion
So this is a standard case change:
- završetak → nominative
- završetka → genitive
A learner can remember this as:
- nakon + genitive = after ...
Examples:
- nakon sastanka = after the meeting
- nakon ručka = after lunch
- nakon završetka = after the completion
