Questions & Answers about Ova vežba ima deset ponavljanja.

Why is it ova and not ovaj or ovo?

Because vežba is a feminine singular noun, and the demonstrative ovaj (this) has to agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

So:

• ovaj = masculine singular
• ova = feminine singular
• ovo = neuter singular

Since vežba is feminine, you say ova vežba.

Examples:

• ovaj trening = this workout
• ova vežba = this exercise
• ovo ponavljanje = this repetition

What case is ova vežba in?

It is in the nominative singular.

That is because ova vežba is the subject of the sentence — it is the thing doing the having in ima.

So the structure is:

• Ova vežba = subject, nominative
• ima = has
• deset ponavljanja = object/quantity phrase

Why is the verb ima and not some longer form?

Ima is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb imati ().
