"What do wolves eat?"

Translation: Co žerou vlci?

[Steve254604]

Not to anticipate the aspect lesson, but wouldn’t “sežerou” have to be used here? (In other words, doesn’t “Co žerou vlci?” mean something more like, “What are the wolves eating?”, rather than “What do wolves eat?”) Or maybe I have this completely wrong...

[RebeccaBoutrup]

Why is žerou in front of vlci in this sentence?

[AgnusOinas]

The word order "Co vlci žerou?" is also possible, but less common, stressing "eat" (I want to know what they eat, not where they sleep...)

[VladaFu]

For the same reason do is in front of wolves in "What do wolves eat?". This is the standard question word order - question pronoun, verb, subject.

[Natka01]

In another question it didnt accept vlci for plural of wolf, here it does. Both is correct or in specific situations?

[Nemesis_NaR]

How else would you translate "wolves"? "Vlci" is the only form in nominative

[Soolrak]

Vlci and psi for plural nominative. Vlky and psy for plural accusative, right?

[JosephHoresovsky]

What does normative and accusative mean?
