Questions & Answers about Isplata sredstava počinje nakon energetske obnove.
What does isplata sredstava literally mean, and why are there two nouns together?
Isplata sredstava literally means payment/disbursement of funds.
This is a very common Croatian structure:
- isplata = payment, payout, disbursement
- sredstava = of funds / of resources
The second noun is in the genitive case, which often expresses of in English. So:
- isplata sredstava = disbursement of funds
- compare:
- cijena usluge = the price of the service
- početak sastanka = the beginning of the meeting
So the phrase is not two separate nouns randomly placed together; it is a standard noun + genitive construction.
Why is it sredstava and not sredstva?
