Croatian adjectives

Croatian adjectives adapt to the noun they refer to.
Doing this, they take the same gender (masculine, feminine or neuter), the same number (singular or plural) and the same case as the noun they refer to.

How do you recognise the grammatical gender of Croatian adjectives?

Masculine adjectives end in a consonant or -i.
💡 For example:
velik (m) strah – great fear
 
Feminine adjectives end in -a.
💡 For example:
velika (f) nada – great hope
 
Neuter adjectives end in -o.
💡 For example:
veliko (n) selo – large village

There are two classes of adjectives in Croatian:

• descriptive adjectives
• relative adjectives
