Questions & Answers about Na sastanku jedni druge slušamo i poštujemo.

Why is it na sastanku and not u sastanku?

Na sastanku means at the meeting.

In Croatian, some events and gatherings are commonly used with na, not u. A sastanak is one of them, so na sastanku is the normal expression for at a meeting.

Also, after na in the meaning of location, Croatian uses the locative case, so:

• sastanak = meeting
• na sastanku = at the meeting

So this is both a vocabulary pattern and a case pattern.

Why does sastanak become sastanku?

Because it is in the locative singular.

The base form is:

• sastanak = meeting

After na when you mean location, you need the locative:

• na sastanku = at the meeting

This kind of change is very common in Croatian. Nouns often change their endings depending on their role in the sentence.

Why is there no word for we in the sentence?
