Because nevolju is in the accusative singular, not the nominative.

In this sentence, nevolju is the direct object of the verb razumije, so Croatian changes the noun ending to show that role.

• nominative: nevolja = trouble, hardship, distress
• accusative: nevolju = trouble, hardship, distress as the object

So:

• Nevolja je velika. = The trouble is great.
• Osiguratelj razumije nevolju. = The insurer understands the trouble.
