| Genitive without preposition
There are several instances when the Genitive case can be used without a preposition. We will talk more about this in Unit 10. At this point we will focus only on the Genitive case without a preposition when indicating the of what relationship (a piece of cake).
Examples
As you can see in the following examples, words like litra (liter) – kilogram – žlica (spoon) – šalica (cup) can indicate any relationship. For example, one liter of juice – half of liter of water – two liters of water.
jedna litra vode | pola litre vode | dvije litre vode |
jedna litra čaja | pola litre čaja | dvije litre čaja |
jedan kilogram mesa | pola kilograma mesa | dva kilograma mesa |
jedna žlica šećera | pola žlice šećera | dvije žlice šećera |
jedna šalica kave | pola šalice kave | dvije šalice kave |
jedan komad mesa | pola komada mesa | dva komada mesa |
| Numbers with Verbs
Look at the following short sentences. You learned so far that with numbers 2-3-4 you need to use the Genitive singular, and with number 5 onwards you need to use the Genitive plural. What about the verb form? When do you use the singular and when do you use the plural?
Sada su dva sata. | Sada je pet sati. |
Ovo su dvije torte. | Ovo je pet jabukâ. |
Tri jabuke koštaju 2 eura. | Šest jabuka košta pet eura. |
