Questions & Answers about Sutra moram produžiti osobnu iskaznicu u općini.
Why is sutra at the beginning? Is the word order fixed?
Croatian word order is fairly flexible because case endings show grammatical roles. Sutra is placed first to set the time frame (“tomorrow”) as the topic. You could also say Moram sutra produžiti osobnu iskaznicu u općini, which is still natural—just a slightly different emphasis.
What does moram mean exactly, and what is its base form?
Moram means I must / I have to. The base form (dictionary form) is morati = “to have to/must.”
Present tense (useful to recognize):
- moram (I must)
- moraš (you must)
- mora (he/she/it must)
- moramo (we must)
- morate (you plural/formal must)
- moraju (they must)
Why is produžiti used here? Is it perfective? What would the imperfective be?
Yes—produžiti is typically perfective, focusing on completing the action: “to renew/extend (successfully).”
The common imperfective counterpart is produživati, which emphasizes the process or repeated/habitual action.
So in this sentence, perfective makes sense because you’re talking about a single completed task you need to do tomorrow.
