Polish? It`s nothing! :D It`s close enough to Ukrainian in grammar and vocabulary so I've never had big problems with it:) I've recently started learning Czech and this may really be a challenge. Or maybe not :) But I can assure you that nothing can make me hate Croatian. Moreover, I fell in love with this language which I now regard as my favourite one among all the Slavic languages, after my native Ukrainian, of course:P

Yes, I think you're right Edward. It is historijski(pripovjedački) futur. It is not used in every day talk(except for older generations maybe). It is a form that is typical for stories and fairy tales. Again you are focusing on details and I hope you're not going to start hating Croatian thinking it is very difficult! :) (although you learn Polish as well...after that language any other is piece of cake :P)

I think I have found the answer to my question in Gramatika hrvatskoga jezika za gimnazije i visoka učilišta. Josip Silić, Ivo Pranjković (thanks again, Ana, for having recommended to purchase it:): U relativnoj uporabi futur prvi može označivati prošlost, pa se zove historijskim (pripovjedačkim) futurom, npr. Dugo je vladao mir i nitko ništa nije pitao. Tek treći dan reći će princeza majci.

in this sentence 'umorno će Hasan' it means he will say, the verb say is left out, and će is shortened form of the verb to be in future tense

well, that's shortened form of verb 'to be'. It changes form depending on a person so forms are: Biću (ja) shortened 'ću' Bićeš (ti) - ćeš Biće (on, ona, ono) - će Bićemo (mi) - ćemo Bićete (vi) - ćete Biće (oni, one, ona) - će You will probably have some difficulty figuring out why is "to be" even used in construct such as this, but there you have it.
