Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 19 Your, Ana’s: Possessives 114 / 600Auto N je Anin N . The car ‘is Ana’s’. (= belongs to Ana)mI’ve already explained that possession of body parts is usually expressed with the DLcase. Is there any difference in meaning when possessive adjectives are used?Usually, there’s no difference, and DL is preferred with such nouns. However, here’sa difference in some circumstances: DL implies a kind of close possession, whilepossessive adjectives don’t. Compare these sentences:(1) Ana N pere Goranu DL kosu A . Ana is washing Goran’s hair. (lit. ‘washing the pratihair to Goran’)(2) Ana N pere Goranovu kosu A . (lit. ‘washing Goran’s hair’ – the samepratimeaning?)They don’t mean exactly the same. The sentence #1 implies that the hair is growingfrom Goran’s head, while the sentence #2 could also apply to cut hair being washedfor whatever reason.This is a very fine distinction not important in most circumstances. (The ‘closepossession’ is sometimes called ‘inalienable’, but the name is not precise – the haircan be cut.)Pay attention: in the DL possession, used for body parts, the noun for person issimply in DL (Goran → Goranu). When you use a possessive adjective – whichyou have to do to express possession of a ball, dog, house etc. – you have first toturn the person into a possessive (Goran → Goranov) and then add the rightending for case and gender to it (e.g. Goranov → Goranovu for feminine A).With relatives, it’s normal to use poss. adjectives, as above (check the sentenceabout Ana’s sister). I’ll explain later when it’s more common to use DL for relativesas well.Possessives in Croatian are often used in street names, for example Branimir street– one of major streets in Zagreb – is actually Branimirova ulica Branimir’s street.The word ulica street is often dropped when it’s obvious what we’re talking about.(With specific streets, you should use the preposition u¨):Ivan N živi u Branimirovoj ulici DL . Ivan lives on ‘Branimirova’ street.Ivan N živi u Branimirovoj DL . (the same meaning, but shorter)There’s just one problem: you can create a possessive adjective in Croatian from asingle noun only. In English, you can just turn the last word into a possessive, but notso in Croatian. Here’s what I mean:mačka cat → mačkin cat’scrna mačka black cat → ? black cat’sCroatian uses a completely different construction for the latter phrase, and we’lllearn it immediately.________
Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 19 Your, Ana’s: Possessives 115 / 600® The possessive adjective njezin is considered archaic outside Croatia.• Something Possibly InterestingNow you know why so many last names in Russia end in -ov, -ev or -in: they are justformer possessive adjectives. Such last names are common in Croatia too, but evenmore common is to add -ić, which will become clear later.• ExerciseFill in the right forms of nouns:Čitam ____________(a) knjigu.
