Questions & Answers about Kad počne oluja, čujemo jaku grmljavinu iznad grada.
What does kad mean here, and is there a difference between kad and kada?
Kad means “when” in this sentence.
- kad and kada have the same meaning: “when”.
- kada is the full form and sounds a bit more formal or careful.
- kad is the shorter, more colloquial form you’ll hear all the time in speech.
You can say either:
- Kad počne oluja, čujemo jaku grmljavinu.
- Kada počne oluja, čujemo jaku grmljavinu.
Both are correct; the meaning is the same.
Why is it “Kad počne oluja” and not “Kad će početi oluja” for “When the storm starts”?
