1   Croatian spelling: others omit the infinitive suffix completely and bind the clitic.
2   For masculine nouns; a feminine or neuter agent would use the feminine and neuter gender forms of the active past participle and auxiliary verb, respectively.
3   Often replaced by the past perfect in colloquial speech, i.e. the auxiliary verb biti (to be) is routinely dropped.

4   Often replaced by the conditional I in colloquial speech, i.e. the auxiliary verb biti (to be) is routinely dropped.
  *Note: The aorist and imperfect were not present in, or have nowadays fallen into disuse in, many dialects and therefore they are routinely replaced by the past perfect in both formal and colloquial speech.

Verb

blagoslovīti pf

  1. to bless
    • 1884, P. Evstahij Ozimek, Cvetje z vertov sv. Frančiška, Gorizia, pages 98–99:
      Ako pa hoče podariti kedo tak križ komu drugemu, ki si sam ne more iskati zanj blagoslova, ga mora dati blagosloviti ne zase, temuč za tistega, ki mu ga je namenil.
      If one wants to give such a cross to someone else who cannot seek blessing themselves, one must have it blessed not for himself, but for the one for which it is meant.
  2. to wish luck
    Bog te blagoslovi! ― I wish you luck!
