Questions & Answers about Dokumentarni film i odjavna špica dugo traju.
Why is the verb traju in the plural?
Because the subject is made of two things joined by i (and):
- dokumentarni film = documentary film
- odjavna špica = end credits / closing titles
In Croatian, when two singular nouns are connected by i, the verb normally goes into the plural:
- film traje = the film lasts
- špica traje = the credits last
- film i špica traju = the film and the credits last
So traju is the 3rd person plural form of trajati (to last).
Why is it dugo, not dugi or duga?
