Questions & Answers about Vještica je u priči.
What does je mean here?
Je is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb biti meaning to be.
So in this sentence:
- vještica = witch
- je = is
- u priči = in the story
A useful thing to know is that je is a clitic, which means it is a short unstressed form and normally appears in the second position in the sentence.
Why is there no word for the in Croatian?
Croatian normally does not use articles like the or a/an.
So vještica can mean:
- a witch
- the witch
and priča can mean:
- a story
- the story
The exact meaning usually depends on context. In your sentence, the intended meaning is understood from the situation, not from a separate word like the.
