Questions & Answers about Roditelji čuvaju djecu u parku.
Why is there no word for “the” in this sentence?
Croatian does not have articles like “a/an” or “the” at all.
So:
- Roditelji can mean “parents” or “the parents”
- djecu can mean “children” or “the children”
- u parku can mean “in a park” or “in the park”
The context decides whether you translate it with “the” or not in English. The Croatian sentence itself does not mark this difference grammatically.
