Questions & Answers about Moram obaviti prijenos broja.

What does moram mean, and which verb does it come from?

Moram means I must or I have to.

It comes from the verb morati = to have to / must.

This is the 1st person singular present tense form:

• ja moram = I must
• ti moraš = you must
• on/ona mora = he/she must

So Moram obaviti... literally starts as I must do/carry out...

Why is obaviti in the infinitive?

Because after moram, Croatian normally uses an infinitive.

So the structure is:

• moram + infinitive
• I must + do something

Examples:

• Moram ići. = I must go.
• Moram nazvati. = I must call.
• Moram obaviti prijenos broja. = I must carry out the number transfer.

This is very similar to English must do, except Croatian does not use to before the second verb here.
