When you're first starting out with Croatian, pronouns like 'on' (he) are super useful. They help you talk about people without repeating their names constantly. Think of it like in English when you say 'he' instead of 'John' every time.
Using 'on' correctly is a basic building block for forming simple sentences. You'll use it to describe actions, tell who is doing something, or even just to identify someone. It's a fundamental word that will pop up all the time in everyday conversation.
When using "on," remember it's a third-person singular masculine pronoun. This means it replaces a singular male noun (e.g., Ivan becomes on). It's straightforward in the nominative case, but like many Croatian pronouns, its form changes depending on its grammatical role in the sentence. You'll encounter different forms such as njega (accusative/genitive), njemu (dative/locative), and njime (instrumental).
When you're speaking about a male person, on is the pronoun you'll use for 'he' in Croatian. Just like in English, it's used to refer to someone who has already been mentioned or is clearly understood from the context.
Remember that Croatian is a highly inflected language, which means the form of 'on' will change depending on its grammatical role in a sentence. For example, 'on' is the nominative form (subject of the sentence), but you'll encounter forms like 'njega' (him) or 'njemu' (to him) as well.
Understanding these different forms is crucial as you progress, but for now, focus on recognizing 'on' as the basic 'he'.
§ Understanding 'On'
Hello there! Today, we're diving into a very common Croatian word: 'on'. This little word means 'he' in English. It's a fundamental pronoun, and you'll hear it all the time. Let's break down how it works in real-world situations.
- DEFINITION
- He.
Just like in English, 'on' refers to a single male person. It's straightforward and doesn't change much, which is great for beginners.
§ 'On' at Work
In a professional setting, you'll often use 'on' when talking about colleagues, clients, or bosses. It's a simple way to refer to a male person without repeating their name.
Moj kolega je bolestan. On neće doći na posao.
My colleague is sick. He won't come to work.
Šef je zadovoljan. On je pohvalio moj rad.
The boss is satisfied. He praised my work.
§ 'On' at School
In a school environment, 'on' is useful for discussing male students, teachers, or even characters in books.
Učitelj je dobar. On nam pomaže s matematikom.
The teacher is good. He helps us with math.
Moj prijatelj je pametan. On uvijek zna odgovor.
My friend is smart. He always knows the answer.
§ 'On' in the News
When reading or listening to the news, you'll frequently encounter 'on' when referring to male politicians, athletes, or public figures.
Predsjednik je održao govor. On je govorio o ekonomiji.
The president gave a speech. He spoke about the economy.
Poznati glumac je došao u grad. Svi žele vidjeti ona.
The famous actor came to town. Everyone wants to see him.
§ General Usage of 'On'
Here are a few more general examples to solidify your understanding of 'on'.
Gdje je Ivan? On je u trgovini.
Where is Ivan? He is at the store.
Moj brat voli čitati. On ima mnogo knjiga.
My brother loves to read. He has many books.
Tko je taj čovjek? On je moj susjed.
Who is that man? He is my neighbor.
As you can see, 'on' is a versatile and essential word. The more you read and listen to Croatian, the more naturally you'll start using it. Keep practicing, and you'll master it in no time!
§ What "On" Means
- Definition
- He.
In Croatian, the word on primarily means "he." It's a fundamental pronoun you'll use constantly. Just like in English, it refers to a male person or even a male animal. But here's a crucial difference: it can also refer to masculine objects. This is where English speakers sometimes get confused, so let's clear that up.
§ Using "On" for People
When you're talking about a man or boy, on is your go-to word. It's straightforward and works just like "he" in English.
On je student. (He is a student.)
Gdje je Ivan? On je u trgovini. (Where is Ivan? He is in the store.)
§ Using "On" for Objects and Animals
This is where it gets interesting for English speakers. In Croatian, nouns have genders. If a noun is masculine, you use on to refer to it, even if it's an inanimate object or an animal. Think of it like saying "it" in English, but only for masculine nouns.
How do you know if a noun is masculine? A good general rule for A1 learners is that most nouns ending in a consonant are masculine. There are exceptions, but this rule covers a lot of common words.
- Stol (table) is masculine.
- Pas (dog) is masculine.
- Grad (city) is masculine.
Gdje je stol? On je velik. (Where is the table? It is big.)
Imam psa. On je star. (I have a dog. It is old.)
§ Similar Words and When to Use Them
Understanding on means knowing its counterparts for other genders and numbers.
- Ona (she): Use this for feminine people, animals, and objects. Most nouns ending in '-a' are feminine.
Ona je učiteljica. (She is a teacher.)
Knjiga je dobra. Ona je zanimljiva. (The book is good. It is interesting.)
- Ono (it): Use this for neuter nouns. Most nouns ending in '-o' or '-e' are neuter.
Dijete spava. Ono je malo. (The child is sleeping. It is small.)
Selo je lijepo. Ono je mirno. (The village is beautiful. It is peaceful.)
- Oni (they - masculine or mixed group): Use this for plural groups of masculine people/objects, or for mixed groups of males and females.
Ivan i Marko su prijatelji. Oni idu u školu. (Ivan and Marko are friends. They go to school.)
Muškarci i žene. Oni su ovdje. (Men and women. They are here.)
- One (they - feminine): Use this for plural groups of only feminine people or objects.
Žene pjevaju. One su sretne. (The women are singing. They are happy.)
Jabuke su crvene. One su slatke. (The apples are red. They are sweet.)
- Ona (they - neuter): Use this for plural groups of only neuter nouns. Note that this is the same form as the singular feminine "she/it". Context will usually clarify.
Djeca se igraju. Ona su glasna. (The children are playing. They are loud.)
§ Key Takeaways for "On"
The main thing to remember is that on covers both "he" and "it" for masculine nouns. Pay attention to noun endings to help you identify gender. Mastering these pronouns is key to forming basic sentences in Croatian.

Gender Matters
In Croatian, nouns and pronouns have grammatical genders. 'On' is masculine, so it refers to a male person or a masculine noun. This is a fundamental concept in Croatian, so always pay attention to gender.
Singular vs. Plural
'On' is a singular pronoun. For multiple males, you would use 'oni' (they - masculine plural). Knowing the difference between singular and plural is crucial.
Subject Pronoun
'On' is a subject pronoun, meaning it performs the action of the verb. For example, 'On jede' (He eats). It typically comes before the verb in a simple sentence.
Don't Overuse It
Just like in many Slavic languages, subject pronouns are often omitted in Croatian when the verb ending already indicates the subject. For instance, 'Jede' (Eats) can imply 'He eats' if the context is clear. Only use 'on' when you want to emphasize who is doing the action.
Match with Verb
The verb form must agree with the pronoun. Since 'on' is third person singular masculine, the verb will take the corresponding ending. For example, 'On radi' (He works) not 'On radim' (He work - incorrect ending). Always ensure verb-pronoun agreement.
Compare with 'ona' and 'ono'
To solidify your understanding of 'on', compare it with its feminine counterpart 'ona' (she) and its neuter counterpart 'ono' (it). Understanding the differences between genders will help immensely.
Listen for Context
When listening to Croatian, try to identify when 'on' is used and when it's omitted. This will help you develop an intuition for its natural usage. Context is key in language learning.
Practice Sentences
Create simple sentences using 'on' with different verbs. For example: 'On spava' (He sleeps), 'On čita' (He reads), 'On pije' (He drinks). Repetition aids memory.
Politeness and Formality
While 'on' is straightforward, remember that in formal situations or when addressing elders, Croatians use 'Vi' (you - formal plural) even for a single person. This shows respect and politeness.
Don't Confuse with Object Pronouns
'On' is a subject pronoun. There are different forms for object pronouns (e.g., 'njega' for him). Don't mix them up! Focus on mastering subject pronouns first.
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe word for 'he' in Croatian is on.
Yes, on specifically refers to a male person. It's the masculine singular pronoun.
That's a good question! In Croatian, nouns have genders. So, if an animal or object is grammatically masculine, you would use on to refer to it. For example, 'stol' (table) is masculine, so you could say 'On je velik' (It is big) about the table.
Generally, most nouns ending in a consonant are masculine. There are exceptions, but it's a good starting point. You'll learn more about noun genders as you progress.
On means 'he' (masculine singular). Ono means 'it' (neuter singular). So, you use 'on' for male persons, and 'ono' for neuter nouns (like 'dijete' - child).
Ona means 'she' (feminine singular). So, on is for 'he', and 'ona' is for 'she'.
Yes, Croatian has grammatical cases. The word on changes form depending on its function in the sentence. For example, in the genitive case, it becomes 'njega'. But don't worry about all the cases right now; just focus on 'on' as the basic form for 'he'.
Absolutely! For example, 'Gdje je on?' (Where is he?).
Yes, just like in English, the first word of a sentence is always capitalized, so if on starts a sentence, it would be 'On'.
Certainly! 'On je moj prijatelj.' (He is my friend.)

Što autor implicira o ulozi pojedinca u društvu?
Read this passage:
Kritički promatrajući društvene fenomene, valja naglasiti da pojedinac često podliježe kolektivnom pritisku. On, unatoč svojim individualnim težnjama, može biti prisiljen prihvatiti norme koje mu ne odgovaraju. U takvim okolnostima, njegova autonomija je ugrožena, a otpor postaje čin osobne hrabrosti. Društvo, pak, nerijetko sankcionira takvo odstupanje, čime se stvara začarani krug konformizma.
