Questions & Answers about Nakon selidbe prijavite promjenu adrese u policijskoj upravi.
Why is it nakon selidbe and not nakon selidba?
Because the preposition nakon (after) requires the genitive case.
- selidba = moving, relocation
- genitive singular = selidbe
So:
- nakon selidbe = after the move / after moving
This is a very common pattern in Croatian:
- nakon ručka = after lunch
- nakon škole = after school
- nakon sastanka = after the meeting
What exactly does selidba mean here?
Selidba means a move, moving house, or relocation. In this sentence it refers to the event of changing where you live.
It is a noun, not a verb. So Croatian is literally saying something like:
- After the move...
rather than:
- After you move...
Even though in English both are natural, Croatian often uses a noun phrase like this.
