The women are not inside yet.
From Lesson 10:Negative verb to be (nisam, nisi)·Croatian

Questions & Answers about Žene još nisu unutra.

Why is "are not" written as a single word, nisu?
In Croatian, the negative forms of the verb "to be" combine the word ne (not) with the verb. For "they are not", instead of saying ne su, it merges into the special word nisu.
Does još mean "yet" or "still"?
It can mean both depending on the sentence! In a positive sentence, it usually means "still". But when paired with a negative verb like nisu, it translates to "not yet".
Why does the word for women, Žene, end in an -e?
The singular word for woman is žena. Because it is a feminine noun ending in -a, its plural form changes the -a to an -e.
Why is there no word for "The" at the start of the sentence?
Croatian does not use articles like "a", "an", or "the". The word Žene can mean "women" or "the women" depending on what makes sense in English context.
