Questions & Answers about Na ploči nije podcrtano ništa osim infinitiva, pa učenici pitaju što trebaju zapisati.
Why is it na ploči and not something like u ploči?
Na ploči means on the board.
Croatian uses na + locative for many surfaces and places where something is located on something:
- na stolu = on the table
- na zidu = on the wall
- na ploči = on the board
Here ploči is the locative singular of ploča.
If you used u, it would usually mean in or inside, which does not fit here.
What case is ploči?
Ploči is locative singular.
The noun is:
- ploča = board
After na when it expresses location, Croatian uses the locative:
- na ploči = on the board
So:
- nominative: ploča
- locative: ploči
Why is it nije podcrtano?
