Questions & Answers about Vodoinstalater dolazi zbog cevi.

What does vodoinstalater mean, and is it really one word?

Yes. Vodoinstalater is a single word meaning plumber.

It is built from:

• vodo- = related to water
• instalater = installer / technician

So it literally suggests someone who works with water installations, which is why it means plumber.

Why is it cevi and not cev?

Because the preposition zbog requires the genitive case.

The basic form is:

• cev = pipe

After zbog, it changes to:

• zbog cevi = because of the pipe / because of the pipes

So this is a case change, not a different word.

What case is cevi here?

Here cevi is in the genitive after zbog.

A very useful rule is:

• zbog + genitive

Examples:

• zbog problema = because of the problem
• zbog kiše = because of the rain
• zbog cevi = because of the pipe / pipes
