as some members in "Person above you" said, they wanted Croatian lessons. oh well, let's get started: first of all, what's Croatia, where's Croatia: world: Europe: (out of date, there's no Kosovo on the map) Croatia: Croatia is independence since 1991. following Croatian independence war that was from 1991.-1995.. Before that it was part of Communist Yugoslavia.

Štokavski is official one (Official Croatian language) Capital city: Zagreb (I live there) (also biggest city) some simple words: Thank you: Hvala Good day: Dobar dan Hallo: Bok Good bye: Doviđenja/Bok Here you go: Izvoli(te) (depends if you're talking to older person than you/your boss/teacher etc.) Sorry: Oprosti(te) (^ same as above) /Sori/Pardon Yes: Da No: Ne Maybe: Možda Pony: Poni Unicorn: Jednorog Pegasus: Pegasus Cupcake: Cupcake Muffin: Muffin Eye: Oko Nice: Lijepo/Zgodno (depends on contekst) My Little Pony (literal meaning): Moj Mali Poni Numbers: Brojevi 1:Jedan 2: Dva 3: Tri 4: Četiri 5: Pet 6: Šest 7: Sedam 8: Osam 9: Devat 10: Deset 0: Nula Colors: Boje Rainbow: Duga Sparkle: Iskra (also Female name) Red: Crvena Green: Zelena Black: Crna Gray: Siva White: Bijela Yellow: Žuta Purple: Ljubičasta Orange: Narančasta Blue: Plava sorry if I messed up something (non stop shifting brain from english to croatian )
Hvala hvala hvala hvala hvala! EDIT: Question. Is 'doviđenja' the polite way and 'bok' the informal way? Similar to 'farewell' and 'see ya'?
well, when you're saying to your friend,you'd say bok, or if you're saying to someone younger than you. if you're saying it to someone older, or someone that you should show respect, you would say doviđenja. also same thing to bok and dobar dan (bok for friend, dobar dan polite)
Sweet! Thanks! I wish I had time to look at it right now, but I'm going out of town until Tuesday. Going through this is on my list for things to do the day I get back!
Heh, izgleda da ces morat malo da se pomucis oko ovoga, posto nije tako prosto i jednostavno poduciti nekog ko prica Engleski Hrvatskim. Moras im objasniti kako se citaju rijeci, da se citaju kako i pisu. Svakako, mnogo uspeha zelim ti u tvoj "Quest" :3 ^Croatian. Well, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian. Btw, "Bok" is an exclusive Croatian word, just to let you know guys.
^lol znao sam da si s ovih krajeva xD potrudit ću se ako nekog zanima više, može me uvjek dobiti na msn kada sam online. (point of these 2 chats: if someone really wants to learn big time, pm me so we can contact on msn for more detail instructions) @Jaret: koja država? Ako je HR, da li je ZGB, ako je ZGB, da li ideš na FER?
Hmm, this is interesting. Always fun to learn new things. Thanks for helping teach us, Yeti. Croatia isn't too far from Germany either which is where I was born. I feel bad I had no idea where it was and it's that close. xD
