Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Learn the foundation of counting in Croatian by memorizing the digits one through ten.

  • Numbers 1-10 are cardinal: 'jedan, dva, tri, četiri, pet, šest, sedam, osam, devet, deset'.
  • Numbers function as adjectives or nouns depending on the context of the sentence.
  • Unlike English, some numbers in Croatian have gender forms (e.g., 'jedan' vs 'jedna').
1 (jedan) + 2 (dva) + 3 (tri) ... = Counting
