Questions & Answers about Moja majka sada radi u banci.
Why is it moja, not moj?
Because moja has to agree with majka in gender, number, and case.
- majka is feminine
- singular
- here it is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence
So the possessive adjective must also be feminine singular nominative:
- masculine: moj
- feminine: moja
- neuter: moje
That is why you get moja majka = my mother.
Why is it majka and not mama?
Both can mean mother / mom, but they are used a little differently.
- majka is more neutral or formal
- mama is more affectionate and everyday, like mom / mum
So:
- Moja majka sada radi u banci. sounds neutral
- Moja mama sada radi u banci. sounds more personal and conversational
Both are correct.
What form is radi?
Radi is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb raditi = to work.
The present-tense pattern is:
- ja radim = I work
- ti radiš = you work
- on/ona/ono radi = he/she/it works
Since moja majka is she, the verb form is radi.
