Questions & Answers about Krzno je lepo.
Why is it lepo and not lep or lepa?
Because krzno is a neuter singular noun, and the adjective has to agree with it.
In Serbian, adjectives change for gender and number:
- lep = masculine singular
- lepa = feminine singular
- lepo = neuter singular
So:
- kaput je lep = the coat is nice/beautiful
- haljina je lepa = the dress is nice/beautiful
- krzno je lepo = the fur is nice/beautiful
What gender is krzno?
Krzno is neuter.
A very common clue is the ending -o: many Serbian nouns ending in -o or -e are neuter, although you should still learn each noun with its gender.
Because krzno is neuter, the predicate adjective also appears in the neuter form: lepo.
What does je mean here?
Je means is.
It is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb biti = to be.
So the structure is:
- krzno = fur
- je = is
- = nice/beautiful
