VRA-ta • noun (pluralia tantum) — 26th of May, 2026
Listen to pronunciation
Meaning: door (the entrance or movable barrier in a wall or building). In Croatian, 'vrata' is usually used in the plural form even when referring to a single door.
Examples

(Close the door.) - Vrata su zaključana.

(I put the keys on the table next to the door.)
Synonyms

Use 'vrata' when talking about doors in general or a specific door; grammatically it behaves as a plural noun (pluralia tantum) in Croatian, so verbs and adjectives agree in plural form (e.g., 'vrata su', not 'vrata je'). 'Ulaz' is used more for an entrance (entry point), while 'vrata' refers to the physical door.
