Questions & Answers about Kad gosti odu, peremo tanjure.
What does kad mean here?
Kad means when. In sentences like this, it introduces a time clause:
- Kad gosti odu = When the guests leave
Depending on context, kad can also feel like once or after, especially when the action in that clause is completed.
