Questions & Answers about Kad kliknem na zadnji slajd, projektor ponekad prestane raditi.

Why is there no ja in Kad kliknem?

Croatian usually drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• kliknem = I click
• the -em ending already tells you it is 1st person singular

So Kad kliknem... naturally means When I click...
You could add ja only for emphasis or contrast:

• Kad ja kliknem... = When I click... / When I’m the one who clicks...

What form is kliknem?

Kliknem is the 1st person singular present tense form of the perfective verb kliknuti.

That may seem strange at first, because in Croatian a perfective present often does not mean a simple present action in the same way English does. In sentences with kad and similar time words, it often refers to:

• a future action: Kad kliknem... = When I click...
• or a repeated trigger: Whenever I click...

So here it fits the idea that clicking on the last slide triggers what happens next.

Why is it kliknem and not klikam?
