Questions & Answers about Strepim zbog vize.
What is the difference between strepim and the more common bojim se?
Strepiti means to feel anxious, dread, or tremble with suspense. While bojati se is the general verb for being afraid, strepiti specifically describes that lingering anxiety you feel when waiting for an uncertain outcome, which fits perfectly when worrying about a visa.
Why does viza change to vize here?
The preposition zbog (because of) always takes the genitive case. For feminine nouns ending in -a like viza, the genitive singular ending is -e, making it vize.
Since the current lesson covers wishes with samo da, how would I add "If only it arrives!" to this sentence?
You can follow this up with samo da stigne! (if only it arrives!). Using samo da with the present indicative here expresses a highly desired, realistic hope for the future to resolve the anxiety.
