Questions & Answers about Zanima me koja je tvoja nova adresa.
The English translation says 'what', so why do we use koja instead of što?
How does Zanima me mean 'I wonder'?
Zanima comes from the verb zanimati (to interest), and me is 'me'. Literally, Zanima me means 'It interests me.' This is the standard and most natural way to express 'I wonder' or 'I am curious about' in Croatian.
Do I need a word like da to connect the two halves of the sentence?
No, you do not need da here. When an indirect question starts with a question word (like koja, tko, gdje, or kada), that word itself acts as the bridge connecting the two halves of the sentence. You only need a special connector like da li if the indirect question is a yes/no question.
Why does the verb je come right after koja instead of at the end of the sentence?
