Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 57 Whose, What Thing and What Like 331 / 60057 Whose, What Thing and What LikeThere are two questions that look quite different in English:Whose is this book?What is this book like?However, they are quite similar in Croatian, since both use question-words that arereally adjectives:čiji whosekakav (kakv-) what... like / what kindThe questions above look like this in Croatian:Čija N je ova knjiga N ? Whose is this book?Kakva N je ova knjiga N ? What is this book like?Bear in mind that both words change in case, gender and number as any otheradjectives: you can ask questions whose or what...like not only for subjects, but forany noun in a sentence:Čiju knjigu A čitaš? Whose book do you read?You would answer with a possessive adjective, in the right case, matching the caseof the question-word (obviously, the accusative case here), number (singular) andgender (feminine):— Aninu A . Ana’s.— Tvoju A . Yours.You can ask questions of type whose X is that. The word to is always in singular then(recall to su moje knjige):Čija knjiga N je to N ? Whose book is that?Čija N je to N knjiga N ? (an alternative word order)— Moja N . Mine.With kakav (kakv-), it’s possible to ask two kinds of questions – about kind andimpression.To ask about impressions, use the verb biti (je² +) be. An answer is basically anadjective standing for a subjective experience:Kakva N je ta knjiga N ? What is that book like?— Malo dosadna N . A bit boring.It’s also possible to ask about kind – then the noun we’re asking is usually placedimmediately after the question-word:Kakvu knjigu A čitaš? What kind of book are you reading?— Ljubavnu A . A romance book. (lit. ‘Love.’)
