Questions & Answers about Nažalost, više nema jagode ni lješnjaka.
Why are jagode and lješnjaka in the genitive case here?
The word nema (meaning 'there isn't' or 'we are out of') always requires the missing thing to take the genitive case.
Are jagode and lješnjaka singular or plural in this sentence?
They are in the genitive singular. In a context like this (such as an ice cream shop), the speaker is treating them as uncountable flavors rather than individual countable berries or nuts.
Why does the sentence use ni instead of ili for 'or'?
Because the sentence is negative (due to nema). In Croatian, when listing alternatives in a negative sentence, you must use ni (meaning 'nor') instead of the standard word for 'or' (ili).
How does više change the meaning of nema?
The word više means 'more', but when combined with a negative verb like nema, it creates the meaning 'any more' or 'no longer'. So više nema translates to 'there is no more'.
