Lekcija 33 · k / ka — ka nekom / nečemu
k / ka · Toward
k / ka + dative · Toward
k and ka are one preposition with two shapes. Meaning: toward a person or goal. Both k prijatelju and ka prijatelju can work.
k i ka su isti predlog u dva oblika. Značenje: ka osobi ili cilju.
Helper (not a law): before k- / g- / h-, ka often sounds smoother (ka kući, ka gradu, ka hramu). Elsewhere, either is fine.
Contrast: Idem u školu (into) vs Idem k školi (toward).
Toward vs into / onto
k and ka = same job. Distractors in exercises: u / na (into / onto).
