In English, you have to rephrase questions when used as content clauses:<br /><br />Is he in the room?<br /><br />I don't know [if he's in the room]<br /><br />I want to know [if he's in the room].<br /><br />I'd like to ask [if he's in the room].<br /><br />Not so in Croatian. As I wrote, but that was obviously not clearly expressed, there's no rephrasing in Croatian. Questions are simply used as clauses:<br /><br />Je li hladno? "is it cold"<br /><br />Pitao sam [je li hladno]. lit. "I asked is it cold"<br /><br />Postavio bih pitanje je li hladno.<br /><br />I'd ask a question "is it cold".<br /><br />Is it clearer now?Daniel N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14585410511935134909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891322149855073246.post-81169644762983352272020-03-15T00:30:15.426+01:002020-03-15T00:30:15.426+01:00"I would like to ask if....
