Questions & Answers about Bubanj više ne radi.
Više ne means no longer or not anymore.
So Bubanj više ne radi means that the drum used to work before, but now it does not.
This is a very common Croatian pattern:
- više ne + verb
Examples:
- Više ne živim tamo. = I don’t live there anymore.
- On više ne dolazi. = He doesn’t come anymore.
Yes, ne is the basic negation particle and means not.
But više adds the idea of anymore / no longer. Without više, the sentence would simply mean:
- Bubanj ne radi. = The drum is not working.
With više, it becomes:
- Bubanj više ne radi. = The drum is no longer working.
So ne gives the negation, and više adds the sense of a change from an earlier state.
