Questions & Answers about Ovaj elektronički potpis još vrijedi.
Why is it ovaj and not ovo or ova?
Because potpis is a masculine singular noun in the nominative case, and the demonstrative ovaj has to agree with it.
- ovaj = this, for masculine singular nouns
- ova = this, for feminine singular nouns
- ovo = this, for neuter singular nouns
So:
- ovaj potpis = this signature
- ova isprava = this document
- ovo pismo = this letter
Why does elektronički end in -i?
For the same reason: it has to agree with potpis.
Elektronički is an adjective meaning electronic, and here it is in the masculine singular nominative form, because it describes potpis.
Compare:
- elektronički potpis = electronic signature
- elektronička poruka = electronic message
- elektroničko pismo = electronic letter / email
So both ovaj and elektronički are matching potpis.
