Questions & Answers about Kućni ljubimac čeka veterinara u ambulanti.
What does kućni ljubimac literally mean, and is it the normal way to say pet?
Yes. Kućni ljubimac is the standard Serbian expression for pet.
- kućni = domestic, household, related to the home
- ljubimac = favorite, darling, pet
So literally it is something like household favorite, but in normal usage it simply means pet.
Why is it kućni ljubimac and not kućnog ljubimca here?
Because kućni ljubimac is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative singular.
The sentence structure is:
- Kućni ljubimac = the pet → subject
- čeka = waits / is waiting
- veterinara = the veterinarian / vet → direct object
- u ambulanti = in the clinic
Since the pet is the one doing the action, it stays in the nominative: kućni ljubimac.
Why does veterinara end in -a? Shouldn’t it be veterinar?
