Klijentica želi da joj pošaljem ponudu još danas.

Klijentica is the feminine form of klijent and means female client. Croatian often marks a person’s gender directly in the noun:

• klijent = male client / client (masculine form)
• klijentica = female client

Since the sentence is about a woman, klijentica is used.

In Croatian, after verbs like željeti (to want), it is very common to use da + a finite verb when the subject of the second verb is stated or understood.

So:

• Želi da pošaljem... = She wants me to send...

This structure is very natural in modern Croatian. English uses an infinitive here (wants me to send), but Croatian usually does not say a literal equivalent of that pattern.

You may also see infinitives after željeti in some contexts, but da + verb is especially common and often the most natural choice when another person is involved.

Pošaljem is the 1st person singular present tense form of the perfective verb poslati / pošaljem (to send).

Here it means:

• I send in form
• but after da, it functions more like that I send / for me to send

So in this sentence, it does not mean a simple present like I send in English. It is part of the da-clause after želi:

• želi da pošaljem = she wants me to send

Because Croatian does not usually build this idea with a bare infinitive the way English does.

English:

• She wants me to send...

Croatian:

• Ona želi da pošaljem...

The idea of me is built into the verb ending -em, which shows I. So instead of a separate word for me, Croatian uses a full verb form inside the da clause.

Joj means to her.

It is the dative singular form of the pronoun ona (she). It is used because send often takes an indirect object:

• send someone something
• poslati nekome nešto

So:

• joj pošaljem ponudu = I send her an offer

Here:

• joj = indirect object = to her
• ponudu = direct object = the offer

Because ponuda is the dictionary form, but in this sentence it is the direct object, so it goes into the accusative case.

• nominative: ponuda = an offer
• accusative: ponudu = an offer (as the thing being sent)

So:

• pošaljem ponudu = I send an offer

This is a very common pattern in Croatian: feminine nouns ending in -a usually change to -u in the accusative singular.

Još danas means something like:

• still today
• as early as today
• before today is over
• later today, not tomorrow

The word još often means still, yet, or already as soon as, depending on context. In this sentence, it adds urgency:

• the client wants the offer today already / before the end of today

So it is not just a neutral today. It suggests that the deadline is today.

Because Croatian usually does not need a separate pronoun when the verb form already shows the person.

In pošaljem, the ending tells you the subject is I. So:

• da pošaljem = that I send / for me to send

English needs me in wants me to send, but Croatian expresses this through the clause structure and the verb ending instead.

Croatian word order is more flexible than English word order, but some elements tend to go in certain positions.

Here, joj is a short unstressed pronoun, called a clitic. Clitics usually appear near the beginning of their clause, often in the second position pattern.

So:

• da joj pošaljem ponudu

sounds natural because:

• da introduces the clause
• joj comes early
• then the verb pošaljem
• then the direct object ponudu

Other word orders may be possible for emphasis, but this one is standard and natural.

Because the sentence refers to one complete action: sending the offer.

Croatian often chooses:

• perfective verbs for a single completed action
• imperfective verbs for repeated, ongoing, or general actions

Here the client wants one specific thing done: the offer should be sent once, by today. That is why the perfective verb is used:

• poslati / pošaljem = to send, as a completed act

An imperfective verb like slati would suggest a more ongoing or repeated sense, which does not fit as well here.

Its position is not completely fixed, but short pronouns like joj strongly prefer an early position in the clause.

So this is natural:

• Klijentica želi da joj pošaljem ponudu još danas.

A version with joj later would usually sound less natural or would require a different structure for emphasis.

For learners, the safest rule is:

• put short pronouns like mi, ti, mu, joj, nam, vam, im, ga, je, ih early in the clause

Word-for-word, yes, something like that is what the Croatian structure looks like. But that is not how natural English says it.

A more natural English structure is:

• The client wants me to send her an offer today.
• The client wants me to send her the offer later today.
• The client wants me to send her an offer before the end of today.

So the Croatian grammar is different from English grammar even when the meaning is the same.
