Questions & Answers about Ananas je sladak i dobar uz jogurt.

Why is je in the sentence?

Je is the 3rd person singular present form of biti (to be).

So:

• Ananas = pineapple
• je = is
• sladak i dobar uz jogurt = sweet and good with yogurt

Croatian usually needs this verb, just like English does here. So Ananas je sladak = Pineapple is sweet.

Why are the adjectives sladak and dobar in that form?

They are in the masculine singular form because ananas is a masculine singular noun.

Croatian adjectives must agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here:

• ananas is masculine
• singular
• nominative

So the adjectives are also masculine singular nominative:

• sladak = sweet
• dobar = good

If the noun changed, the adjective form would also change.
