Questions & Answers about Vlasnik računa proverava tekući račun.

Why is it računa in vlasnik računa, but račun in tekući račun?

Because the noun račun is in two different cases here.

• vlasnik računa = owner of the account

  • vlasnik is the main noun.
  • računa is in the genitive singular, showing possession: of the account.

• tekući račun = current account

  • Here račun is the direct object of proverava.
  • Since račun is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative singular looks the same as the nominative: račun.

So the sentence uses:

• genitive after another noun: vlasnik računa
• accusative for the thing being checked: tekući račun

What case is vlasnik in?

Vlasnik is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence.

The subject is the person doing the action:

• Vlasnik = the owner / account holder
• proverava = checks / is checking

So vlasnik is the one performing the verb, which is why it appears in the nominative.
