Questions & Answers about Nemamo čokolade.
Why is it Nemamo instead of Ne imamo?
How does čokolada change to mean "chocolates" in this sentence?
The dictionary form is čokolada, which is a feminine noun because it ends in -a. Since the chocolates are the direct object of the verb (the thing we don't have), they take the accusative case. As you are learning in this lesson, the accusative plural ending for feminine nouns is -e, which gives us čokolade.
Where is the word for "we"?
The Croatian word for "we" is mi, but you don't need it here. Croatian frequently drops subject pronouns because the verb ending itself tells you who is acting. The -mo ending in nemamo makes it perfectly clear that "we" are the ones who don't have the chocolates.
