Questions & Answers about Razrednica je u dnevnik upisala moje ime i prezime.

What exactly does razrednica mean?

Razrednica is a female homeroom teacher / class teacher.
The masculine form is razrednik.

In Croatian, nouns for people often show natural gender, so this word immediately tells you the teacher is female.

Why is the verb split into je upisala instead of being just one word?

That is how the Croatian past tense is normally built:

• a present-tense form of biti = je
• plus the past participle = upisala

So:

• je upisala = she entered / wrote down
• je upisao = he entered / wrote down

This is very common in Croatian:

• Ona je došla. = She came.
• On je došao. = He came.

Why is it upisala and not upisao?
