the declined kateri · oziralniki – kateri
relative clauses II
Sometimes ki isn't enough — after a preposition you need a relative word that shows gender and case. That's kateri. It declines like an adjective and carries the preposition with it. About seven minutes.

the declined kateri
· oziralniki – kateriwhen a preposition needs a relative word
Use kateri (which) when a preposition governs the relative noun — there the clitic trick of ki won't do. kateri declines for gender and case: hiša, v kateri živim (the house in which I live — f, locative), most, čez katerega gremo (the bridge we go across — m, accusative), ljudje, s katerimi delam (the people I work with — pl, instrumental). The preposition sits in front, exactly as it would with a normal noun. Forms follow the adjective pattern: kateri / katera / katero, genitive katerega / katere, etc.
