Questions & Answers about U posudu za cvijeće stavite zemlju za cvijeće i humus.
Why is it u posudu and not u posudi?
Because u can take different cases depending on meaning:
- u + accusative = movement into something
- u + locative = being in something
Here the action is putting soil into the container, so Croatian uses u posudu.
Compare:
- Stavite zemlju u posudu. = Put the soil into the container.
- Zemlja je u posudi. = The soil is in the container.
What case is posudu?
Posudu is accusative singular of the noun posuda.
- nominative: posuda
- accusative: posudu
It changes because it is the destination after u with movement.
