Questions & Answers about Tražim hitnu blokadu kartice.

Why does tražim mean I am requesting / I am asking for here?

Tražim is the 1st person singular present tense of tražiti, which commonly means to look for, to seek, or to ask for / request, depending on context.

In this sentence, it means I request / I am asking for because it is followed by a thing being requested: hitnu blokadu kartice.

So:

• tražiti nekoga/nešto = to look for someone/something
• tražiti nešto = to ask for / request something

Here, the second meaning is the natural one.

Why is it hitnu blokadu and not hitna blokada?

Because tražim takes the accusative case for its direct object.

The basic dictionary form is:

• hitna blokada = urgent block / urgent blocking (nominative)

But after tražim (I request), that noun phrase becomes the object, so it changes to the accusative:

• hitnu blokadu

Both the adjective and noun change because they are:

• feminine
• singular
• in the accusative

So:

• nominative: hitna blokada
• accusative: hitnu blokadu
