Questions & Answers about Moj otac danas rano kupuje novine u prodavnici.
Why is it moj otac and not some other form of my?
Moj is the masculine singular nominative form of my.
It matches otac because:
- otac = father
- it is masculine
- it is singular
- here it is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative case
So:
- moj otac = my father
If the noun changed, the possessive would change too. For example:
- moja majka = my mother
- moje dete = my child
Why is otac used here? Is that the normal word for father?
Yes. Otac is the standard word for father.
A learner should also know that in everyday speech, people often say:
- tata = dad
- otac = father (more neutral or formal)
So moj otac sounds natural, but slightly more formal than moj tata.
Why is there no word for is or does in the sentence?
