Questions & Answers about Ovo računalo ima znatno više memorije te brže obrađuje podatke.
Could I use daleko or kudikamo instead of znatno in this sentence?
Yes, absolutely. Znatno means "significantly" and amplifies the comparative više (more). You can swap it with daleko (far) or kudikamo (by far) to get the exact same strong emphasis on the comparison.
Why is the word for memory (memorija) in the genitive case here?
Because it comes after više (more). In Croatian, when you use a word expressing quantity, the noun that follows must be in the genitive case. It literally translates to "significantly more of memory".
What is the difference between using te and i in this sentence?
Te is a slightly more formal conjunction meaning "and" or "and also." While you could easily use i here, te is often preferred in written Croatian to elegantly connect two clauses, especially if they are closely related actions.
Why is brže used instead of brži?
Here, brže is acting as an adverb (faster), describing how the computer processes data. If it were describing a masculine noun directly, like a faster processor, you would use the adjective brži.
What is the infinitive of obrađuje, and is it perfective or imperfective?
The infinitive is obrađivati (to process). It is an imperfective verb, which fits perfectly here because we are talking about a continuous, ongoing capability of the computer. The perfective equivalent (to finish processing) would be obraditi.
