Questions & Answers about Imamo dobar plan.
Why is there no word for "we" in this sentence?
The verb imamo already means "we have". In Croatian, the pronoun mi (we) is usually dropped because the ending of the verb (-mo) makes it clear who is doing the action.
How would I make this sentence negative to say "We don't have a good plan"?
You would use the special negative form of the verb, which is a single word: nemamo. So, "We don't have a good plan" translates to Nemamo dobar plan.
Doesn't the verb "to have" usually need the accusative case? Why does dobar plan look like it's in the dictionary form?
You are right that the verb imati requires the accusative case! However, for masculine nouns that are not alive (like a plan), the accusative form is exactly the same as the dictionary form. So dobar plan is actually in the accusative case here; it just doesn't change its spelling.
