Cjelina 10: Razgledavanje grada
⚙️ 10 | 2 | Lekcija 2: Po Dubrovniku – Gramatika
Where to – kamo, kuda, gdje
Kuda ideš?
- Idem Frankopanskom ulicom. ➕ Instrumental case
Kamo ideš?
- Idem u muzej. ➕ Accusative case
Gdje si?
- Ja sam u muzeju. ➕ Locative case
As you can see: kamo and kuda are usually followed by the verb to go (ići), while gdje is usually followed by the verb to be (biti). All three questions will require using a different case in the answer. However, let us investigate first what these questions mean.
kuda > how are you getting there (which path are you taking in order to get somewhere)
kamo > where are you going (your motion toward a certain place/location)
gdje > where are you located (your current, past, or future exact location)
When someone asks you one of these questions, your answer has to follow these rules:
Kuda ideš? — Idem Frankopanskom.
- (by way of Frankopanska)
- The answer will include the name of the street in the Instrumental case (without the preposition).
Kamo ideš? — Idem u muzej.
- Answer will include the adequate preposition u / na + the Accusative case
Gdje si? — Ja sam u muzeju.
- The answer will include the appropriate preposition u / na + the Locative case
