S and Sa "s" and "sa" both mean "with" according to my dictionary, but what's the difference? When do you use which and where?

S before s, z, š, ž turns into SA. ( SA sobom , SA zida, SA ženom, sa šurakom ). The same rule applies for K before k, g, h. ( KA kući, KA gradu, KA hramu ). : - )))

sa + s, z, š, ž, ks, ps, pš, i mnom. Razlog : lakši izgovor.

Hi Gwen, there's a similar issue in Slovak (s/so) and I suspect it's for the same reason: check if the following word starts with an s or z sound, or if it has consonants together. If yes, then use "sa". Just a suspicion. ;)
