izostavili

izostavili is a past tense plural form of the verb "izostaviti" in the Croatian language. It translates to "they left out," "they omitted," or "they missed." The verb "izostaviti" generally refers to the act of not including something or someone, or of failing to appear.

When used in a sentence, "izostavili" indicates that a group of people or things has been excluded or overlooked. For example, one might say "Oni su izostavili važnu informaciju" which means "They left out important information." Similarly, "Učenici su izostavili čas" translates to "The students missed class."

The verb "izostaviti" can also be used reflexively, as "izostaviti se," which often implies someone's absence or not showing up. However, "izostavili" specifically denotes the action of *causing* something to be left out or the *act* of missing something, rather than simply being absent. It is a common verb used in everyday communication in Croatian.
