Questions & Answers about Vozilo ima malo udubljenje.

Why is it ima and not some other form of imati?

Because vozilo is a singular noun, so the verb must be in 3rd person singular.

• imati = to have
• ima = has

A quick comparison:

• ja imam = I have
• ti imaš = you have
• on/ona/ono ima = he/she/it has

Since vozilo means vehicle and is grammatically singular, you use ima:

• Vozilo ima... = The vehicle has...

Why is it malo udubljenje and not mali udubljenje?

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

Here, udubljenje is:

• neuter
• singular
• accusative (because it is the direct object)

For a neuter singular noun, mali becomes malo.

So:

• mali = masculine singular
• mala = feminine singular
• malo = neuter singular

Examples:

• mali auto = a small car
• mala rupa = a small hole
• malo udubljenje = a small dent
