Fun Facts

Did you know that the word "broj" means both "number" and "subscriber" in Croatian? This can be confusing for learners who are not familiar with the language. But don't worry, with practice, you will see the difference in context.

Another interesting fact is that in Croatia, people often use their hands to count. They start with their thumb as number one, and then use their fingers up to five. After that, they hold up one hand with all five fingers, and then use the other hand to count by fives. For example, six is "one hand plus one finger" while seven is "one hand plus two fingers."
