I guess because of all the different forms a verb takes.
In English it`s easy. For example a verb "to sit" which means "sjediti", which is an infinitive. But when added to faces (I don`t know how do you call it in English, we call it "lica")... again it`s easy in English: I sit/play/jump you sit/play/jump he/she/it sit/plays/jumps we sit/play/jump you sit/play/jump they sit/play/jump croatian: ja sjedim/igram/skačem ti sjediš/igraš/skačeš on/ona/ono sjedi/igra/skače mi sjedimo/igramo/skačemo vi sjedite/igrate/skačete oni/one/ona sjede/igraju/skaču 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Hvala Ivana. but the problem is not the verb forms - we have it also in Portuguese. That part is ok !
The problem is something like let's say...giving you a concrete exemple of a verb pair (it could be only one verb not a pair) I don't know its meaning yet... I don't know what nedostajati and nedostati mean. For some reason it has been far more difficult to fix the verb meanings (in this case in Portuguese) than nouns, let's say, e.g. mrak or luk. Are you getting the point now ? Edited by sapedro on 09 July 2009 at 9:51am 1 person has voted this message useful | |

I understand.
That is why they say learning Croatian is pretty darn difficult :D "Nedostajati" means "to miss somedone/something" and word "nedostati" is I guess just same forme of "nedostajati", but I can`t remember it. If I write it in a dictionary, it shows it as unexistent :D "Nedostatno" means "unsufficient". "Nedostaci" means "imperfections". "Nedostatak" means "imperfection". Do you have a sentence with a word "nedostati"? Edited by Ivana_B on 09 July 2009 at 12:47pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Well I could say "Nedostajem te". But this happens with many different verbs...

"Nedostajem te" doesn`t exist.
If you are trying to say "I miss you", this is "nedostaješ mi" If you are trying to say "You miss me", this is "Nedostajem ti" 1 person has voted this message useful | |
