Questions & Answers about Naš vozač nas sada čeka ispred hotela.
Why is it naš vozač?
Naš means our, and vozač means driver.
In Serbian, possessive words like moj (my), tvoj (your), naš (our), etc. usually come before the noun, just like in English.
Also, naš has to agree with the noun:
- vozač is masculine singular
- so the correct form is naš
If the noun were feminine or plural, the form would change:
- naša soba = our room
- naši prijatelji = our friends
Why is there no word for the in naš vozač or hotela?
Serbian does not have articles like the or a/an.
So Serbian simply says:
- vozač = driver / the driver / a driver
- hotel = hotel / the hotel / a hotel
You understand whether it means a or the from the context. In this sentence, naš vozač naturally means our driver, and ispred hotela means in front of the hotel.
Why is it nas and not mi or nama?
