Preposition za
Together with the prepositions u/na that you encountered so far, there is another very common preposition when it comes to the Accusative case. The preposition za can easily be translated in English as for. Look at the following examples:
Za vikend planiram ići u grad. — For the weekend, I plan to go to the city (center).
Planiram party za subotu. — I’m planning a party for this Saturday.
Ova knjiga je za mamu. — This book is for (my) mom.

⏰ What time is it?
There are different ways to express time in Croatian. At this point we will look at the most simple way of expressing time. Look at the following time schedules:
| Sat | Koliko je sati? | U koliko sati? |
|---|---|---|
| 13:00 | jedan popodne | u jedan popodne |
| 14:00 | dva popodne | u dva popodne |
| 15:00 | tri popodne | u tri popodne |
| 16:00 | četiri popodne | u četiri popodne |
| 17:00 | pet popodne | u pet popodne |
| 18:00 | šest popodne | u šest popodne |
| 19:00 | sedam navečer | u sedam navečer |
| 20:00 | osam navečer | u osam navečer |
| 21:00 | devet navečer | u devet navečer |
| 22:00 | deset navečer | u deset navečer |
| 23:00 | jedanaest navečer | u jedanaest navečer |
| 12:00 | podne | u podne |
| 00:00 | ponoć | u ponoć |
As you can see, Croatian uses a 24-hour system. Thus, to differentiate the morning and evening time, you can say:
| Koliko je sati? | Koliko je sati? |
|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
| 01:00 | 07:00 |
| jedan ujutro | sedam ujutro |
| 13:00 | 19:00 |
| jedan popodne | sedam navečer |
