When something happens or is done in winter (or other season), one option is to use
specific adverbs:
zimi in winter
u proljeće in spring
ljeti in summer
najesen in fall
For example:
Ljeti idemo na more A . We go to the seaside in summer. (regularly, usually)
The most common way to express roughly when something happened or will
happen is to use combinations of ‘determiners’ (specific adjectives, really) and nouns
for time periods, in A (only A forms are listed, which are identical to N for these
nouns and masculine inanimate gender): ®
jedan one
ovaj this
prošli last
sljedeći next *
svaki each
+
tjedan week ®
mjesec month
Instead of sljedeći, sometimes idući is used, without any difference in meaning.
The noun dan day is a partial exception, explained below.
However, with the feminine nouns godina year and noć f night, it’s more common
to use phrases in G (all words are here listed in G):
jedne one
ove this
prošle last
sljedeće next *
svake each
+
godine year
noći night
Again, sometimes idući is used. There are two specific (and a bit old-fashioned)
adverbs that can be used instead of prošle godine and prošle večeri:
lani last year ® sinoć last evening
For example:
Ove godine G putujemo u Pariz A . We’re traveling to Paris this year. putovati
Prošli tjedan A sam bila bolesna N . I was sick last week.
Sljedeći mjesec A odlazimo na more A . We’re leaving for the seaside next month.
There are exceptions to this pattern: the noun dan day, and jutro morning. With
them, adjectives are used in both A and G to get phrases meaning one day, that day,
the first day, etc.:
Jednog dana G smo jeli palačinke A s medom I . One day we ate pancakes with jesti
honey.
