nastavljam

Nastavljam is a Croatian word that translates to "I continue" or "I am continuing" in English. It is the first-person singular present tense form of the verb nastaviti. This verb is used to express the act of proceeding with an action, task, or journey after an interruption or pause, or simply to denote ongoing activity.

The verb nastaviti itself derives from the Proto-Slavic root *nastaviti, meaning to set in order, arrange, or continue. Its usage is common in everyday Croatian conversation, referring to various situations. For example, one might say "Nastavljam s radom" which means "I am continuing with work," or "Nastavljam putovanje" meaning "I am continuing the journey." It can also be used metaphorically, such as in "Nastavljam učiti" (I continue to learn). The grammatical context dictates whether it implies resuming something that was stopped or simply carrying on with something already in progress. The word emphasizes persistence and forward movement.
