Questions & Answers about Vlastita potrošnja prati proizvodnju električne energije.

Why is vlastita used here, and what exactly does it mean?

Vlastita means one’s own, self-, or internal/own depending on context.

In this sentence, vlastita potrošnja is best understood as self-consumption or own consumption. In energy-related language, this often means the amount of electricity that is consumed by the same system or producer that generates it.

Why is it vlastita potrošnja and not vlastiti potrošnja?

Because potrošnja is a feminine singular noun, and the adjective has to agree with it.

Agreement in Croatian means the adjective must match the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here:

• potrošnja = feminine singular
• so the adjective must be vlastita = feminine singular nominative

That is why you get:

• vlastita potrošnja

not:

• vlastiti potrošnja (wrong, because vlastiti is masculine singular nominative)
