Questions & Answers about Ako ništa drugo, runda daje novu priliku.
It is an idiomatic expression meaning If nothing else.
Literally, the words are:
- ako = if
- ništa = nothing
- drugo = other / else
But in natural use, Ako ništa drugo means something like:
- If nothing else, ...
- At least, ...
- Even if there are no other advantages, ...
So the sentence is setting up a minimum positive point: even if the round does nothing more, it still gives a new chance.
Because ništa behaves like a neuter singular pronoun, and drugo agrees with it.
So:
- ništa = nothing
- drugo = other / else in neuter singular
That is why you get ništa drugo.
This is very common in Croatian:
- nešto drugo = something else
- sve drugo = everything else
- ništa novo = nothing new
