Questions & Answers about Vidite li restoran i hotel?
Why don't the words restoran and hotel change their endings here?
Because they are inanimate masculine nouns. In Croatian, when a masculine noun represents an object or a place rather than a living being, its accusative form is exactly the same as its base dictionary form. Since you are seeing them, they are the objects of the sentence, but they do not get a new ending.
Why is the word li placed right after the verb?
The word li is a question particle used to form yes/no questions. It has a strict rule: it usually takes the second position in a sentence. Because the verb Vidite is the first word, li must immediately follow it.
Where is the word for you in this sentence?
It is built right into the verb! In Croatian, you often drop pronouns like vi because the verb's ending does the job. The ending -te in Vidite clearly tells us the subject is you, either plural or formal singular.
Are restoran and hotel just English words?
They are loanwords! Many international words for places or modern concepts are borrowed into Croatian. They are adapted to Croatian pronunciation but remain very easy for English speakers to recognize.
