You must conjugate the verb 'biti'. 'Biti' is the infinitive form, not the present tense.

Wrong: Ja biti Marko.
정답: Ja sam Marko.

Ensure you are using the correct person conjugation when asking others.

Wrong: Imam li ja?
정답: Imaš li ti?

In Croatian, 'ne' often merges with 'imati' to form 'nemam'.

Wrong: Ne imam.
정답: Nemam.
