Questions & Answers about Moram prijaviti promjenu adrese nakon selidbe.

Why is it Moram and not Ja moram?

In Croatian, the subject pronoun is often omitted because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• moram = I must
• the ending -am tells you it is 1st person singular

So Moram prijaviti... is the natural way to say I must report/register...
You can add ja for emphasis, but it is not normally necessary.

Why is prijaviti in the infinitive?

Because after morati (to have to / must), Croatian normally uses an infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• moram + infinitive
• moram prijaviti = I must report/register

This is similar to English must report, except Croatian does not need to here.

Examples:

• Moram ići. = I must go.
• Moram platiti. = I must pay.

What exactly does prijaviti mean here?
