Questions & Answers about Moja majka je umorna svako veče.
Why is it moja majka and not moj majka?
Because moja has to agree with majka in gender, number, and case.
- majka is a feminine singular noun
- so the possessive my must also be feminine singular: moja
Compare:
- moj otac = my father
- moja majka = my mother
- moje dete = my child
So moja is the correct form because majka is feminine.
Why is it umorna and not umoran?
For the same reason: the adjective must match the noun.
- majka is feminine singular
- so umoran (tired) becomes umorna
Compare:
- On je umoran. = He is tired.
- Ona je umorna. = She is tired.
- Dete je umorno. = The child is tired.
So umorna agrees with majka.
