Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 99 Aorist Tense and Other Marginal Features 500 / 600
Vidim njegova brata. I see his brother. (Standard, but very rare)
Vidim njegovog brata. (this is almost always used)
However, you'll see forms like above in some newspapers, on TV news, and in
poetry.
Then, Standard Croatian insists that numbers 2-4 change according to case. You will
sometimes see in writing DLI forms for numbers 2 and both in feminine gender and
for 3:
number
obje f both
dvije f two
tri three
DLI
objema
dvjema
trima
If numbers change, nouns also change, into DLI-pl. For example:
Posjet dvjema farmama A visit to two farms (rare)
(If you check Google, u dvije is about 30 times more frequent than u dvjema.)
Other forms – including masc. gender – exist in grammar books, but are very rare in
use. You will sometimes see the forms above used for G as well.
