Croatian for your holiday ยท Chapter 3: Numbers and Shopping

Two Kilograms

To the next lesson

Dva kilograma means two kilograms. Note the ending: after dva it is kilograma, not kilogram.

In the image you buy a fat walnut weighing exactly two kilos โ€“ and afterwards it sits heavily in your stomach. The fat nut carries the two, the weight in your stomach carries the ending.

Number endings are the only point where Croatian has rules of its own when shopping. The images carry them along for you.
