Questions & Answers about Eno tvog prijatelja.

What exactly is eno?

Eno is a pointing word used to draw attention to someone or something, typically at some distance from the speaker. It is part of the common Serbian trio:

• evo = near me
• eto = near you / not right here
• eno = over there, farther away

So in this sentence, eno sets up the idea of “there, look” or “over there”.

Why is it tvog prijatelja instead of tvoj prijatelj?

Because after evo / eto / eno, Serbian normally uses the genitive case, not the nominative.

So:

• tvoj prijatelj = nominative
• tvog prijatelja = genitive singular

That is why the sentence is Eno tvog prijatelja, not Eno tvoj prijatelj in standard usage.

What case is tvog prijatelja?

It is genitive singular.

More specifically:

• prijatelj is a masculine singular noun
• tvog agrees with it in gender, number, and case
• so the whole phrase tvog prijatelja is masculine singular genitive

But isn’t prijatelja also the accusative form?
