Questions & Answers about Moramo ovjeriti ovu potpisanu izjavu.
What does moramo mean, and what form is it?
Moramo means we must or we have to.
It is the 1st person plural present-tense form of morati (to have to / must):
- moram = I must
- moraš = you must
- mora = he/she/it must
- moramo = we must
- morate = you all / you formal must
- moraju = they must
In Croatian, you usually do not need to say mi (we), because moramo already shows who is doing the action.
Why is ovjeriti in the infinitive?
After morati, Croatian normally uses an infinitive.
So the pattern is:
- moramo + infinitive = we have to + verb
Here:
- moramo ovjeriti = we have to certify / notarize
This is very similar to English have to do something.
Examples:
- Moram ići. = I have to go.
- Moramo potpisati dokument. = We have to sign the document.
- Moramo ovjeriti ovu izjavu. = We have to certify this statement.
