Questions & Answers about Idemo na tržnicu ujutro; tamo je salata dobra.

Why is it "na tržnicu" rather than "u tržnicu" or "na tržnici"?

• na + accusative expresses movement toward an open/public place: na tržnicu = to the market.
• na + locative expresses location: na tržnici = at the market.
• u + accusative/locative is used more for enclosed spaces (e.g., u trgovinu “to the store,” u trgovini “in the store”). U tržnicu sounds odd; idiomatically we say na tržnicu.
