Questions & Answers about Jesi li sada slobodan?
The lesson is about using je li for questions. Why does this sentence start with jesi li instead?
What exactly is li doing in this sentence?
Li is a tiny word that doesn't have a direct translation in English, but it acts as a question marker. When you put li right after a verb (like jesi), it signals that you are asking a yes/no question.
Why isn't the word for "you" (ti) included in this sentence?
In Croatian, you usually drop subject pronouns like ti (you) or ja (I). The verb form jesi already tells us exactly who is being asked. You would only add ti if you wanted to emphasize it, as in "Are you free now?"
