Questions & Answers about Vanjska tipkovnica radi dobro.
Why is it vanjska and not vanjski?
Because tipkovnica is a feminine singular noun, and the adjective must agree with it.
- vanjski = masculine singular
- vanjska = feminine singular
- vanjsko = neuter singular
So:
- vanjska tipkovnica = external keyboard
This kind of adjective agreement is very important in Croatian.
What case is tipkovnica in here?
It is in the nominative singular.
Why? Because tipkovnica is the subject of the sentence — it is the thing doing the action:
- Vanjska tipkovnica = the external keyboard
- radi = works
- dobro = well
So the subject stays in the nominative.
Is tipkovnica always feminine?
