Questions & Answers about U torbi imam keks s lješnjakom za put.

Why is it u torbi and not u torba?

Because u meaning in takes the locative case when it shows location.

• torba = bag (basic/dictionary form, nominative)
• u torbi = in the bag (locative singular)

So:

• torba → nominative
• u torbi → locative after u

If u means movement into, it usually takes the accusative instead, but here the bag is just the location.

Why does torba change to torbi?

This is a case ending change. Torba is a feminine noun, and in the locative singular it becomes torbi.

A very common pattern for feminine nouns ending in -a is:

• nominative: torba
• genitive: torbe
• dative: torbi
• accusative: torbu
• locative: torbi
• instrumental: torbom

So u torbi is simply the correct case form after u for location.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?
