Questions & Answers about Moja majka otvara prozor svako jutro.

Why is it moja majka and not some other form of moj?

Because moj (my) has to agree with the noun it describes.

Majka is:

• feminine
• singular
• here in the nominative case (the subject of the sentence)

So moj changes to moja to match it:

• moj brat = my brother
• moja majka = my mother
• moje dete = my child

This kind of agreement is very important in Serbian.

Why is majka in that form?

Majka is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative case.

The sentence is about the mother doing the action:

• Moja majka = my mother
• otvara = opens
• prozor = window

Since my mother is the one performing the action, majka stays in the nominative form.

Why is it prozor and not a different case form?

Because prozor is the direct object of otvara (opens), so it should be in the accusative case.
