A da se nađemo?

A simple question — Gdje si? — sets everything in motion. As friends check in with each other across the city, plans start to form: coffee at noon, a meeting point under the clock, quick calls, and a few schedule conflicts along the way. Different locations, different obligations, and not everyone can make it, but the day keeps moving. Between walking through the city, stopping by bookstores, heading to class, and squeezing in errands, this lesson follows how friends coordinate their time, make plans, and negotiate busy everyday routines.

10.2.1 Zadatak 6: Poznate lokacije

Look at two locations that our international students visited at some point while in Croatia.

Sometimes we can abbreviate the name of a street or a square. Instead of saying the square of ban Josip Jelačić, we can say Jelačić’s square. Look at the list of locations in Zagreb and Split that Laura and James visited at some point and complete the task.

👥 How would you abbreviate the names of the following locations? Pay attention to what happens with the forms in the first three examples. Finish the rest based on these three.

👣 Tura po gradu

In-class conversation

10.2.1 Zadatak 7: Atrakcije

Work with your classmate. Have a discussion and create a dialogue in Croatian. Imagine that you are in Zagreb. You are supposed to meet each other for a tour around Zagreb. Before you make any plans or start your dialogue, you should decide together which type of activity you want to do in  Zagreb. For each type of activity in the section you choose, there is a set of different addresses. Figure out what they are and find where they are on the map.

❗ When you have everything ready, create a dialogue. One of you is located at Trg bana Josipa Jelačića and the other one is located in front of Hrvatsko narodno kazalište. Make a phone call dialogue in which you ask each other where you are and then make plans where to meet. Discuss your plans. In what order would you visit all of the places? Will you walk, take a tram, or taxi to some of these destinations?
