Questions & Answers about Tehnički list je u mapi.
Why is it tehnički list and not some other form of tehnički?
Because tehnički is an adjective and it has to agree with list in gender, number, and case.
Here, list is:
- masculine
- singular
- nominative
So the adjective also appears in the masculine singular nominative form: tehnički.
If the noun changed, the adjective would change too. For example:
- tehnička mapa = technical folder/map
- tehničko izvješće = technical report
What case is list in here?
List is in the nominative singular.
It is the subject of the sentence — the thing being talked about. In a sentence like X is in Y, the noun for X is normally in the nominative.
So in Tehnički list je u mapi, the subject is tehnički list.
