Questions & Answers about Kad putujem, uvijek nosim dezodorans sa sobom.
Why does the sentence start with Kad putujem?
Kad means when.
So Kad putujem means When I travel.
In Croatian, it is very common to begin a sentence with a time clause like this, just as in English:
- Kad putujem, uvijek nosim dezodorans sa sobom.
- When I travel, I always carry deodorant with me.
You could also sometimes hear Kada instead of kad. They mean the same thing here, but kad is more common in everyday speech.
Why is there a comma after Kad putujem?
The comma separates the introductory subordinate clause from the main clause.
- Kad putujem, = When I travel,
- uvijek nosim dezodorans sa sobom. = I always carry deodorant with me.
This is similar to English, where a comma is often used after an opening clause like When I travel, ...
