Questions & Answers about Prije sastanka ću još jednom provjeriti radi li glačalo, jer želim urednu košulju.

Why is it prije sastanka and not prije sastanak?

Because the preposition prije (before) requires the genitive case.

• nominative: sastanak = a meeting
• genitive singular: sastanka = of a meeting / before the meeting after prije

So:

• prije sastanka = before the meeting

This is a very common pattern in Croatian:

• prije ručka = before lunch
• prije škole = before school
• prije puta = before the trip
