Questions & Answers about Sudac čita izvještaj.
What case are sudac and izvještaj in?
- sudac is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence.
- izvještaj is in the accusative singular because it is the direct object.
So the structure is:
- Sudac = the judge / a judge
- čita = reads / is reading
- izvještaj = the report / a report
A useful detail: izvještaj is a masculine inanimate noun, and in Croatian, masculine inanimate nouns often have the same form in the nominative and accusative singular. That is why izvještaj does not change here.
Why is the verb čita and not some other form?
