Note
In English you have certain words that require a subject (The thing in a sentence the action is being done to) because without it, the sentence is left ambiguous. If you were to just say 'Ana is holding', the sentence would sound weird because it doesn't nearly have enough information, What is Ana holding? You cant hold nothing so there needs to be a subject. In Serbo-Croatian there are significantly more verbs that require a subject: brijati (shave), buditi (awaken), oblačiti (put on clothes), prati (wash)...Test yourself: What does Ana pere lice mean?
