Skloni torbu sa stolice, molim te.

Skloni is the 2nd person singular imperative of the verb skloniti.

So it means a command addressed to one person: move/remove it.

In this sentence, the command is directed to you (singular, informal), but Croatian usually does not need to say the pronoun ti, because the verb form already shows who the command is for.

Because Croatian often drops subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb ending.

In skloni, the form itself already tells you that the speaker is talking to you (singular, informal). So ti would usually be unnecessary unless the speaker wanted extra emphasis.

A fuller version would be:

Ti skloni torbu sa stolice, molim te.

But that sounds more emphatic than the normal sentence.

Because torbu is the accusative singular of torba.

Here, torba is the direct object of the verb skloniti—it is the thing being moved/removed—so it has to go in the accusative case.

• nominative: torba = bag
• accusative: torbu = bag as the object of the action

This is very common with feminine nouns ending in -a:

• knjiga → knjigu
• stolica → stolicu
• torba → torbu

Because after sa in this sentence, Croatian uses the genitive case.

The phrase sa stolice means off the chair / from the chair, and prepositions meaning movement away from something often require the genitive.

So:

• nominative: stolica
• genitive singular: stolice

That is why you get sa stolice.

Sa is a variant of s that is used for easier pronunciation, especially before certain consonants or consonant clusters.

Since stolice begins with st-, Croatian normally prefers:

sa stolice

rather than s stolice, because sa stolice is easier to say.

So s and sa are basically the same preposition here, but sa is the natural choice before st-.

Because Croatian does not have articles like English a/an/the.

So torbu can mean a bag or the bag, and stolice can mean a chair or the chair, depending on context.

English has to choose between a and the, but Croatian usually lets the situation make that clear.

Skloniti is a perfective verb, and perfective imperatives are very common when you want someone to do one complete action.

So Skloni torbu means something like:

• move the bag
• remove the bag
• get the bag off there

with the idea of a single completed result.

The imperfective partner is sklanjati, and the imperative would be sklanjaj. That would sound more like:

• do it repeatedly
• keep doing it
• be in the process of moving it

So in this situation, skloni is the normal form because the speaker wants one finished action.

It usually means move it away from that place or out of the way.

So Skloni torbu sa stolice does not necessarily mean throw it away or remove it permanently. It simply means the bag should no longer be on the chair.

Depending on context, it could mean:

• put it somewhere else
• move it aside
• take it off the chair

So the focus is on getting it off the chair, not on exactly where it goes afterward.

Molim te means please, addressed to one person informally.

It softens the command and makes it friendlier. Without it, Skloni torbu sa stolice is still normal, but more direct.

• molim te = informal singular please
• molim vas = formal singular or plural please

So if you were speaking politely to one person or to several people, you would usually say:

Sklonite torbu sa stolice, molim vas.

Because molim te is being used as a kind of parenthetical polite expression.

In English, this is similar to writing:

Move the bag off the chair, please.

Croatian often separates molim te or molim vas with commas when they are inserted into a sentence like this.

So:

Skloni torbu sa stolice, molim te.

is the normal punctuation.

Yes. Croatian word order is fairly flexible, although some versions sound more natural than others.

The original:

Skloni torbu sa stolice, molim te.

is very natural.

You could also say:

Molim te, skloni torbu sa stolice.

That is also completely natural.

Croatian often puts the verb first in commands, so Skloni... is a very typical way to begin the sentence.

Yes, absolutely. Makni torbu sa stolice is very natural and common.

Both skloni and makni can mean something like move/remove it.

A rough nuance is:

• maknuti = move/remove
• skloniti = move away, put aside, remove from where it is

In many everyday situations, they are very close in meaning, and both would sound normal.
