What annoys me with croatian is the different forms

For instance the difference in the ending of the words.
-AN = male form
-NA = female form

Let's take that example and move it to a new step.

Jest trudNA
This means "She is pregnant."

Jest trudAN
This means "He is pregnant."

The word "Jest" means both "He is" and "She is", it is the ending of the last word that decide the sex of the person. As you can all see... the last sentence doesn't make much sense, unless you happen to be carrying the Iman. (According to Hindu beliefs, he shall be born by a man). :wink:

And so ends Tom's little Croatian class.
