Questions & Answers about Moram izaći iz ureda prije šest.

What does moram mean here?

Moram is the 1st person singular present of morati, meaning must or have to.

So:

• moram = I must / I have to
• moraš = you must
• mora = he/she/it must

In this sentence, moram izaći means I have to leave / I must go out.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Croatian often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The ending in moram already tells you the subject is I, so ja is unnecessary.

• Moram izaći. = I have to leave.
• Ja moram izaći. = also possible, but ja adds emphasis, like I have to leave.

So the version without ja is the normal, neutral one.

Why is izaći used after moram?
