Questions & Answers about Vojnik mora hitno pomaknuti kamen.
Why is vojnik in that form?
Vojnik is the subject of the sentence, so it is in the nominative singular.
- basic dictionary form: vojnik = soldier
- nominative singular is used for “who is doing the action?”
Here, vojnik is the one who must move the stone.
Why is it mora and not morati?
Morati is the infinitive: to have to / must.
In the sentence, you need a conjugated form because it is the main finite verb:
- ja moram = I must
- ti moraš = you must
- on/ona mora = he/she must
Since vojnik is he / the soldier, the correct form is mora.
