The '2-3-4' Finger Rule

Hold up 2, 3, or 4 fingers. If your number ends in that many fingers, use the -E or -A ending (tisuće/milijuna).

🎯

The 'Second Position' Rule

Always place the short forms (ću, ćeš...) in the second position of the sentence. If the first word is a long name, the clitic comes right after it.

常见问题 (6)

Yes, but tisuću is much more common in spoken Croatian when counting or giving prices.
Because tisuća is a feminine noun and milijun is a masculine noun. Numbers 2, 3, 4 must match the gender.
Yes, but only for emphasis. For example, 'Ja HOĆU doći!' means 'I WILL come (despite what you think)'. For a normal future, use 'ću'.
Verbs ending in -ti drop the 'i' when the clitic follows. Verbs ending in -ći (like ići, peći, reći) keep their full form.
No, it's best to use them for things you feel affection for or that are literally small.
It's called palatalization, and it happens to make the word easier to pronounce.
