Step 3 : The indefinite article in Croatian

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Croatian, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns knjiga, stolica and vrata (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Croatian, because in Croatian, there is no indefinite article. So the word knjiga can mean book or a book, the word stolica can mean chair or a chair and the word vrata can mean door or a door.

Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Croatian nouns knjiga, stolica and vrata, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Croatian).
