Choose the correct dative form. The dative marks the recipient or the person affected — giving, telling, helping — and follows verbs like pomoći, verovati, diviti se.
Masculine: grad → gradu · Feminine: žena → ženi · Neuter: selo → selu. Singular dative and locative look identical — the verb or preposition tells you which case it is.
Verbs that take a dative person: dati, reći, pisati, pomoći, odgovoriti, verovati, diviti se, nadati se, smejati se, radovati se, sličiti, pripadati. Prepositions ka/k, prema (towards) also take the dative.
