Summary/Abstract: Romanian supine is a non-finite verb form which moves away, to a greater or lesser extent, from the prototypical manifestation of the verb. Croatian also knows non-finite verb forms, but supine is not found among them. Having as a starting point the typology of supine structures (the supine after aspectual and transitive verbs, the supine with purpose value after motion verbs, the supine after impersonal verbs, after nouns and adjectives and the supine in the hanging topic pattern), we will follow the manner in which the supine is rendered in Croatian, based on examples from literary texts translated from Romanian into Croatian.
