Questions & Answers about Davalac krvi će popuniti upitnik za davaoca.

What does davalac krvi literally mean, and why is krvi in that form?

Davalac krvi literally means giver of blood, i.e. blood donor.

• davalac = giver / donor
• krv = blood
• krvi = genitive singular of krv

In Serbian, when one noun defines another like blood donor, Serbian often uses a structure like donor of blood. That is why krv changes to krvi.

So:

• davalac krvi = donor of blood = blood donor

Why is there no word for the or a in the sentence?

Serbian does not have articles like English the and a/an.

So davalac krvi can mean:

• a blood donor
• the blood donor

and upitnik can mean:

• a questionnaire
• the questionnaire

Which meaning is intended depends on context. In this kind of administrative sentence, English often uses the, but Serbian simply leaves articles out.
