Questions & Answers about Imaš li plan?
Why doesn't this sentence include a word for you?
The verb Imaš already means you have (informal). In Croatian, the subject pronoun ti (you) is usually dropped because the ending of the verb makes it perfectly clear who is doing the action.
What is the purpose of the word li in this sentence?
The word li is a question particle used to turn a statement into a yes/no question. To ask a question this way, you put the verb first (Imaš), followed immediately by li.
The verb to have usually requires the accusative case. Why doesn't the word plan change its ending?
You are right that the object of imati takes the accusative case! However, plan is a masculine inanimate noun (it is a non-living thing). In Croatian, masculine inanimate nouns look exactly the same in the accusative case as they do in their basic dictionary form.
