Questions & Answers about Svaka stavka ima kategoriju.
Why is it svaka, not svaki?
Because stavka is a feminine singular noun.
In Serbian, words like svaki (each / every) must agree with the noun they describe in:
- gender
- number
- case
So you get:
- svaki for masculine singular
- svaka for feminine singular
- svako for neuter singular
Since stavka is feminine, the correct form is svaka stavka.

It is the subject of the sentence — the thing that has something.
So in Svaka stavka ima kategoriju:
- svaka stavka = the subject
