Kućište ima kabl; štaviše, ima štampanu ploču.

Because the verb imati (to have) normally takes a direct object in the accusative case.

• kabl is a masculine inanimate noun
• for many masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative singular looks the same as the nominative singular

So:

• kabl = nominative singular
• kabl = accusative singular

That is why you see ima kabl.

By contrast, with a feminine noun like ploča, the accusative changes:

• ploča = nominative
• ploču = accusative

So ima štampanu ploču shows the accusative more clearly.

Because ploča is a feminine singular noun, and feminine nouns ending in -a usually form the accusative singular in -u when they are direct objects.

So:

• ploča = board / plate / panel in nominative
• ploču = accusative singular

In this sentence, štampanu ploču is the object of ima, so it must be in the accusative.

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

Since ploču is:

• feminine
• singular
• accusative

the adjective must match it:

• štampana ploča = nominative
• štampanu ploču = accusative

So the whole noun phrase changes together.

Štaviše means something like:

• moreover
• what is more
• indeed
• in fact (in some contexts)

Here it strengthens the second statement:

• Kućište ima kabl; štaviše, ima štampanu ploču.
• The casing has a cable; moreover, it has a printed circuit board.

It is perfectly correct, but it can sound a bit more formal or written than everyday speech. In casual conversation, people might also use expressions like:

• a čak ima... = and it even has...
• i još ima... = and it also has...

Because Serbian often omits subject pronouns when the subject is already clear from context.

In this sentence:

• Kućište ima kabl
• then štaviše, ima štampanu ploču

The subject of the second clause is still understood to be kućište, so repeating it is unnecessary.

You could repeat it for emphasis:

• Kućište ima kabl; štaviše, kućište ima štampanu ploču.

But that sounds more repetitive than natural.

Yes. That would be a simpler way to say:

• The casing has a cable and a printed circuit board.

The difference is in emphasis:

• ima kabl i štampanu ploču = neutral listing
• štaviše = adds a sense of further emphasis or surprise, like and what’s more...

So both are grammatical, but they do not feel exactly the same stylistically.

Kućište usually means a housing, casing, enclosure, or body of a device or object.

It is often used in technical contexts, for example:

• kućište računara = computer case
• metalno kućište = metal housing

So in this sentence, it refers to the physical outer body or enclosure of something.

No, but it is a very common one.

You may also encounter:

• kabel — another form, also used
• žica — wire, but not always the same thing as cable

For a learner, kabl is very practical and common in many varieties of Serbian.

The semicolon helps separate two closely related independent clauses, especially when the second one adds commentary or emphasis.

So:

• Kućište ima kabl; štaviše, ima štampanu ploču.

This punctuation is similar to formal English writing with moreover.

You may also see a period instead:

• Kućište ima kabl. Štaviše, ima štampanu ploču.

That is also fine. The semicolon just links the thoughts a bit more tightly.

Yes, Serbian word order is fairly flexible, though some versions sound more natural than others.

Standard and natural:

• Kućište ima kabl; štaviše, ima štampanu ploču.

Possible with more emphasis:

• Štaviše, kućište ima štampanu ploču.
• Kućište ima štampanu ploču, štaviše. (less neutral, more marked)

Because Serbian uses case endings, word order often expresses focus or emphasis rather than basic grammatical roles.

Yes, literally it means printed board.

In technical usage, štampana ploča commonly refers to a printed circuit board (PCB). Depending on context, Serbian speakers may understand it that way automatically, especially in electronics.

If the context is specifically electronic, the phrase naturally suggests a PCB.

In Serbian, imati primarily means to have.

Here the subject is explicit:

• Kućište ima kabl = The casing has a cable

So ima clearly means has.

Sometimes Serbian uses ima in expressions similar to there is/are, especially in informal speech, but in this sentence the structure is straightforward: subject + verb + object.

Here are the basic dictionary forms:

• kućište → kućište
• ima → infinitive imati (to have)
• kabl → kabl
• štaviše → štaviše
• štampanu → dictionary form štampan / štampana depending on how adjectives are listed
• ploču → ploča

A useful way to think of the sentence is:

• kućište = subject
• ima = verb
• kabl = direct object
• štaviše = connector/adverb
• ima = repeated verb
• štampanu ploču = direct object phrase
