Dative Case (Dativ)

🎁

What is the Dative Case?

The dative case is used for the indirect object of a sentence—the person or thing that receives something or for whom something is done.

In Bosnian, it answers the questions Kome? (To whom?) / Čemu? (To what?) without a preposition, plus with prema (towards) / ka (to).

💡 Think of the dative as the "recipient" - it's who receives the action or object!
