Kada introduces a question about time.

Kada idemo? (When are we going?)

Kada can introduce a subordinate clause indicating time, similar to 'when' in English. It's often followed by a verb in the present or future tense.

Kada dođem kući, nazvat ću te. (When I come home, I will call you.)

Kada can be used to ask about the frequency of an action, although 'koliko često' (how often) is more common.

Kada obično učiš? (When do you usually study?)

Kada is an adverb and does not change its form based on gender, number, or case.

Kada ste stigli? (When did you arrive?) - applies to any gender/number.

In some contexts, 'kada' can be used to express 'if' or 'whenever' but this is less common for A1 learners and usually implied by context.

小贴士

Basic question word

Kada is one of the first question words you'll learn. It's essential for asking about time.

Pronunciation

The 'a' in kada is pronounced like the 'a' in father. The 'd' is soft, like in day.

Asking 'When?'

To ask 'When?', you simply use Kada? For example, 'Kada je ručak?' (When is lunch?)

In sentences

You can use kada at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence. 'Kada idemo?' (When are we going?) or 'Ne znam kada.' (I don't know when.)

Responding with time

When someone asks 'Kada?', you can respond with a specific time like 'Danas' (Today), 'Sutra' (Tomorrow), or 'U tri sata' (At three o'clock).

Contrast with 'dok'

While kada means 'when' in a general sense, 'dok' means 'while' or 'as long as,' referring to an ongoing action. Don't confuse them!

Common phrases

Practice phrases like 'Kada je tvoj rođendan?' (When is your birthday?) or 'Kada se vidimo?' (When do we see each other?).

Don't overthink placement

For basic questions, kada usually comes first. As you advance, you'll see more flexible sentence structures, but start simple.

Listen for it

Pay attention to native speakers using kada in conversations and media. You'll quickly get a feel for its natural usage.
