Why is there se in ponaša se?

Because ponašati se is the normal Croatian verb for to behave. It is a reflexive verb, so it regularly appears with se.

• ponašati by itself is generally not how you say to behave
• the full dictionary form is ponašati se

So:

• On se ponaša čudno. = He is behaving strangely.
• Ponaša se kao dijete. = He/She is behaving like a child.

In your sentence, ponaša se means he/she is behaving / acting.

Examples:

• Govori kao da sve zna. = He/She speaks as if he/she knows everything.
