Questions & Answers about Zdravstvena knjižica je spremna.

Why is it zdravstvena and not some other form like zdravstveni?

Because zdravstvena is an adjective agreeing with knjižica, which is a feminine singular noun.

In Croatian, adjectives change their form to match the noun’s:

• gender
• number
• case

Here:

• knjižica = feminine, singular, nominative
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular nominative: zdravstvena

Compare:

• zdravstvena knjižica = health booklet/card
• zdravstveni karton = health record file
  because karton is masculine
• zdravstveno osiguranje = health insurance
  because osiguranje is neuter

Why is it spremna and not spreman or spremno?

The adjective spreman / spremna / spremno means ready, and it changes depending on gender:

• spreman = masculine
• spremna = feminine
• spremno = neuter

Since knjižica is feminine, the correct form is:

• Knjižica je spremna. = The booklet/card is ready.
