From Lesson 29:Numbers 1 to 10 (jedan, dva, tri)·Croatian

Questions & Answers about Zašto tražiš četiri?

Where is the word for "you" in this sentence?
It is built right into the verb! The ending -š on tražiš tells us it means "you are looking for". In Croatian, you usually drop the pronoun ti (you) unless you want to emphasize it.
Do I need a word for "for" after tražiš?
No, you don't. In English, we say "looking for", but the Croatian verb tražiti directly means "to search" or "to seek". The "for" is already included in the meaning of the verb itself.
Why doesn't the number četiri change its ending here, like nouns often do?
Good news! Unlike the number one (jedan), which changes its ending to match the word it goes with, the number četiri (four) stays exactly the same here. You can just use the basic counting form you learned.
