Review Summary

  • Connector + Comma + Clause

أخطاء شائعة

Advanced markers often require a semicolon or a full stop before them when connecting independent clauses.

Wrong: On je pametan, štoviše on je lijen.
صحيح: On je pametan; štoviše, lijen je.

Do not insert 'da' after a logical connector; it disrupts the direct flow of the statement.

Wrong: Shodno tome, da idemo van.
صحيح: Shodno tome, idemo van.

In formal Croatian, verb-subject inversion often sounds more natural after an introductory discourse marker.

Wrong: Naposljetku, mi smo završili.
صحيح: Naposljetku, završili smo.
