Review Summary

  • Preposition + Noun-u/e/i

よくある間違い

Nouns must change to the locative ending. Just adding the preposition isn't enough.

Wrong: Ja sam u grad.
正解: Ja sam u gradu.

The preposition 'o' requires the locative case, triggering a vowel change here.

Wrong: O knjiga.
正解: O knjizi.

Schools are closed spaces, so we use 'u' instead of 'na'.

Wrong: Na škola.
正解: U školi.
