Questions & Answers about S prijateljicom idem ravno do kina.

Why is it s prijateljicom and not sa prijateljicom?

Both are possible, but the default is s. Croatian uses the longer form sa mainly to make pronunciation easier before words that start with s, š, z, ž, or certain consonant clusters (e.g., sa sestrom, sa mnom, sa psom). Since prijateljicom starts with p + r, s prijateljicom is standard and smooth. You may still hear sa prijateljicom in speech; it isn’t wrong, just less necessary here.

What case is prijateljicom, and why does it end in -om?

It’s the instrumental case, used after the preposition s/sa meaning “with.” Feminine nouns in -a (like prijateljica) take -om in the instrumental singular: prijateljica → prijateljicom. So s prijateljicom = “with a (female) friend.”

How would I say “with a male friend”?

Use the masculine noun prijatelj in the instrumental: s prijateljem.
Examples:

• S prijateljem idem do kina. = I’m going to the cinema with a (male) friend.
• Plural: s prijateljima (male/mixed group), s prijateljicama (female group).

What does do mean here, and which case does it require?

means “to, up to, as far as,” and it always takes the genitive.
