Questions & Answers about Prijateljica kojoj dajem alat sastaviće fioku.
Why is prijateljica used here? Does it specifically mean a female friend?
Yes. Prijateljica means female friend, while prijatelj means male friend.
Serbian marks gender much more clearly than English does, so the noun itself tells you the person is female. That also matches the relative pronoun later in the sentence: kojoj is feminine singular.
Why is there no word for a or the?
Because Serbian does not have articles.
So prijateljica, alat, and fioku can mean a friend / the friend, a tool / the tool, a drawer / the drawer, depending on context. English requires articles, but Serbian usually leaves definiteness to context.
What exactly does kojoj mean here, and why isn’t it koja or koju?
