What Kind: Kakav

Level 3

Kakav asks "what kind of" and matches the noun in gender and number.

How It Works

Kakav asks about quality. The answer is an adjective.

It takes case endings, too: Kakvu kafu piješ? (accusative) and U kakvom stanu živiš? (locative).

For a plural thing, the answer is plural too: Kakvi su ćevapi? Ukusni su. (What are the ćevapi like? They are tasty.)

Do not mix it with koji, which asks "which one": Koji film gledaš? You can also use it in exclamations: Kakav dan!

Kakav je film? Dobar je.
What is the film like? It is good.
Kakav agrees with masculine film.
Kakva je kafa? Topla je.
What is the coffee like? It is warm.
Kakva matches kafa.
Kakvo je vrijeme u Banjoj Luci?
What is the weather like in Banja Luka?
Kakvo goes with neuter vrijeme.
Kakvi su ćevapi u Sarajevu?
What are the ćevapi like in Sarajevo?
Kakvi is the plural.

Learners use one form for every noun.
Kakav je kafa?
Kakva je kafa?
Kakva must match feminine kafa.
