Understanding Possessive Pronouns in Hrvatski
Possessive pronouns are words that show who owns something. In Hrvatski, these pronouns change depending on the gender and number of the thing they are talking about. Let's learn how to use them!
Important Points
- Possessive pronouns must match the gender of the noun they describe.
- They also change according to the number, whether the noun is singular or plural.
- The pronouns must agree with the case of the noun they are related to.
In Hrvatski, possessive pronouns include words like 'moj', 'tvoj', 'njegov', 'njezin', 'naš', 'vaš', and 'njihov'. Each of these words can change to fit the noun they describe.
Examples
- Ovo je moj pas. (My dog)
- Gdje je tvoja knjiga? (Your book)
- To je njihova kuća. (Their house)
Let's look at how these pronouns change with different nouns. For example, 'moj' changes to 'moja' for feminine nouns and 'moje' for neuter nouns.
Examples
- To je moja mačka. (My cat - feminine)
- Vidim moje dijete. (My child - neuter)
Important Points
- Moj - masculine singular
- Moja - feminine singular
- Moje - neuter singular
- Moji - masculine plural
- Moje - feminine plural
- Moja - neuter plural
These changes help us know exactly what the pronoun is referring to. By paying attention to the endings, we can understand the sentence better.
