This is the language class

:
Hrvatska = n, Croatia
Hrvat = n, Croat (male person from Croatia)
Hrvatski = adj, Croatian, pertaining to Croatia (eg. hrvatski jezik = Croatian language)
These forms are not set in stone, however. Nouns and adjectives are declinated through seven cases, and their suffixes are thus changed.

Try Russian sometime. NINE cases. Oy. They have a word--that's a single word, mind you--that means "to begin to twinkle."

I do know some languages actually. Finnish I hear has 15 cases! There are some pretty trendy words in Urdu that are hard to translate because they are used in so many ways. The verb "lagna" has about 6 six everyday uses that are all translated differently into English...
