How to Say 'Dear' in Croatian: Draga (F) / Dragi (M)

Croatian distinguishes gender in the vocative case:

• Draga – addressing a woman (e.g., Draga Ana – "Dear Ana")
• Dragi – addressing a man (e.g., Dragi Petre – "Dear Petar")

In formal correspondence, Poštovana (F) / Poštovani (M) is used instead.
