012 dati, dativ

Croatian Grammar #012

Dati, dativ

A grammar mnemonic

Olgica: "On će dati Ivanu poklon."

Koji je padež "dati Ivanu" (give to Ivan)? Naravno ... dativ!

Aha! Now there is a memorizing device: dati and dativ .... to give (something) to whom?

Remarkably, this little association by similarity of words probably doesn't occur in any other language - except perhaps in other slavic languages.

Just thinking!

Thanks to a little eye-opening discussion with my teacher Mateja at SpeakCro.
