Croatian Numbers You’ll Actually Use—And Love!
Learning numbers is one of the easiest (and most useful!) ways to start speaking Croatian. Kids can use numbers every day whether they’re counting toys, snacks, or steps. Let’s explore the numbers from 1 to 10 and how to make them stick!
Count to 10 in Croatian
Here are the basic numbers:
1 – jedan
2 – dva
3 – tri
4 – četiri
5 – pet
6 – šest
7 – sedam
8 – osam
9 – devet
10 – deset
Each word has a clear sound, and they’re fun to say out loud. Repeating them in a rhythm or song makes them even easier to remember.
Why Learning Numbers Matters
Knowing numbers helps kids understand games, follow directions, and answer simple questions like “How old are you?” or “How many?” It’s a confidence booster for new learners.
