Questions & Answers about Moja majka svako jutro kupuje hleb u prodavnici.
Why is it moja majka and not moj majka?
Because moja has to agree with majka.
In Serbian, possessive words like moj / moja / moje change form to match the noun in gender, number, and case.
- majka = feminine singular
- so the correct form is moja
Compare:
- moj otac = my father
- moja majka = my mother
- moje dete = my child
So moja is feminine singular nominative to match majka.
Why is majka in that form?
Majka is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative case.
The sentence is about what the mother does:
- Moja majka = the person doing the action
- kupuje = buys
Since she is the subject, Serbian uses the nominative: majka.
Why is it svako jutro?
Svako jutro means every morning.
Here:
- svako = every
- jutro = morning
Jutro is a neuter noun, so svaki changes to to agree with it.
