Questions & Answers about Moja šefica dolazi na sastanak posle doručka.
Why is it moja šefica and not moj šefica?
Because šefica is a feminine singular noun, and the possessive adjective moj must agree with it in gender, number, and case.
So:
- moj šef = my boss, if the boss is male
- moja šefica = my boss, if the boss is female
Here both words are in the nominative singular, and moja is the correct feminine form.
Does šefica specifically mean a female boss?
Yes. Šefica is the feminine form and normally means a female boss / supervisor / manager.
Compare:
- šef = male boss
- šefica = female boss
For an English speaker, this can feel unusual because English usually uses boss for any gender, but Serbian often marks gender directly in the noun.
Why is there no word for the in the sentence?
Because Serbian has no articles. There is no direct equivalent of a/an or the in ordinary Serbian grammar.
So šefica can mean:
- a boss
- the boss
- my boss in context, especially when paired with moja
Likewise, can mean or , depending on context.
