Questions & Answers about Ako je morska struja jaka, skiper neće pristati uz obalu.

What does ako mean in this sentence?

Ako means if. It introduces the condition:

Ako je morska struja jaka = If the sea current is strong

In Croatian, ako is the normal word for real or likely conditions, just like English if.

Why is it morska struja jaka? Why do both adjectives end in -a?

Because struja is a feminine singular noun.

Both adjectives must agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

So we get:

• morska = sea / marine
• jaka = strong
• struja = current

All three are feminine singular nominative here.

Does struja only mean current?
