Questions & Answers about Razrednica je u dnevnik stavila napomenu da svi donesu bilježnice.
What does razrednica mean exactly?
Razrednica is a feminine noun meaning the female class teacher / homeroom teacher / form teacher.
It comes from:
- razrednik = a male class teacher
- razrednica = a female class teacher
So the sentence specifically refers to a woman. That is also why the verb later appears in the feminine form stavila.
Why is it je ... stavila and not just stavila?
Je stavila is the normal Croatian past tense form.
Croatian past tense is usually made with:
- the auxiliary biti in the present tense
- plus the l-participle
Here:
- je = has / is as an auxiliary
- stavila = past participle, feminine singular of staviti
Together, je stavila means put / placed / wrote down in the past.
Croatian often puts the auxiliary in the second position in the clause, so:
- Razrednica je stavila ...
That word order is very standard.
Why is it stavila, with -la at the end?
