Questions & Answers about U zapisniku su opis bicikla, točna lokacija i vrijeme krađe.

Why is zapisnik changed to zapisniku?

Because after u meaning in, Croatian normally uses the locative case when talking about location.

• zapisnik = report / record
• u zapisniku = in the report

So -u here marks the locative singular form.

Why does the sentence use su and not je?

Because the subject is actually a list of three things:

• opis bicikla = description of the bicycle
• točna lokacija = exact location
• vrijeme krađe = time of the theft

Together, that makes a plural subject, so Croatian uses su (are) rather than je (is).

Why is su placed before the list instead of after it?
