よくある間違い
In Croatian, we use the specific comparative form (brže) rather than a direct translation of 'more fast'.
'Jako' is a degree adverb (very), not an adverb describing the quality of work (hard). Use 'naporno' for hard work.
Ensure you distinguish between 'malo' (a little) as a quantity adverb versus a quantifier for nouns.
