mako's notebook entry: Apr 27, 2010

"Ja sam slušala glazbu na koju se pleše salsa." <- very formal 

"Ja slušam salsu." <- okay, but I never heard one say that, people mostly dance to it. :-))

"Ja sam slušala rock."
"Ja slušam hip-hop."
"Ja slušam punk."

In informal speech and even on TV you rarely use "ja slušam (musical style) + glazbu".

Exceptions: "Ja slušam narodnu glazbu." (folk music). "Ja slušam latino glazbu." (latino music).

"(Danas) moram kupiti kavu u zrnu." <- okay.

"Danas moram kupiti kavu za mljeviti." <- not okay, it's should be like this: "Danas moram kupiti kavu za mljevenje".

Mako, if you need help with Croatian  just send me a message.
