The verbal nouns
We already talked about verbal nouns in Croatian during the first year of learning the language. Usually, a verbal noun derives from a transitive verb (a verb that is followed by the Accusative case). There are several endings that can be used to create a verbal noun. However, for now we will still look only at the most common ending in creating a verbal noun: ending –nje.
Look at the following questions from today’s lesson:
Look at the following questions from today’s lesson:
- Koje je tvoje idealno putovanje? / What is your ideal trip?
- Kamo putuješ na zimovanje? / Where will you spend your winter vacation?
- Kamo putuješ na ljetovanje? / Where will you spend your summer vacation?
Usually, verbal nouns will still indicate a certain action involved (traveling, studying, etc.). In this lesson we encountered some actions that will very often be expressed in the form of a verbal noun.
Group 1
kupovati – kupovanje
prodavati – prodavanje
povezivati – povezivanje
All these verbs end in -ati. Thus, the verbal nouns will have the ending –a-nje (kupov-a-nje, prodav-a-nje, poveziv-a-nje).
Group 2
učiti – učenje
pronalaziti – pronalaženje
paničariti – paničarenje
However, if a verb ends in -iti, the verb will have the ending -e-nje (uč-e-nje, pronala-ž-e-nje, paničar-e-nje).
