Croatian Plural
Learning the Croatian Plural is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the Croatian language. But first we need to know what the role of Plural is in the structure of the grammar in Croatian.
Croatian Plurals are grammatical numbers, typically referring to more than one of the referent in the real world. In the English language, singular and plural are the only grammatical numbers. Here are some examples:

| my book | moja knjiga |
| my books | moje knjige |
| our daughter | naša kćer |
| our daughters | naše kćeri |
| I'm cold | hladno mi je |
| we're cold | hladno nam je |
| his chickens | njegove kokoši |
