Unfortunately, neither stresses (which can fall at any syllable) nor vowel lengths are marked in the written language, but the stress is more predictable than in Russian or Bulgarian, where it is almost obligatory to put an accent on the stressed syllable. Unlike Bulgarian, Russian and other East Slavic languages, however, wrongly pronounced vowel length will seldom cause misunderstanding. In practice, the second-last or third-last syllable is almost always stressed.

In the clock time, hours and minutes are separated by a '.' instead of ':', but the latter is also occasionally used. Another usual way is to write the minutes raised like an exponent.

The date is always written in the order day, month, year, e.g.:

11-18-2005 is in Croatian 18.11.2005..

There is always a dot after the year because in Croatian a year is an ordinal number, and ordinal numbers are always followed by a dot to distinguish them from cardinal numbers.

18th of November 2005 is formally written 18. studenog 2005. (the name of the month is in the genitive case).
