Thanks man.

A couple more questions for you (there'll be lots!):
Dobre oche - is this "nice eyes"?
Dobre dope - "nice ass"?

You can tell I spend my time learning lots of useful stuff

I have a friend who lives 4km from Novi Sad - he taught me a few words ...

better say :
"lijepe ochi"= pretty eyes, "dobre" just doesn't sound well
"dobro dupe" or "dobra guza" = nice ass

I must ask, Why learn Croatian? I mean how many people speak it in the world? I'l guess very high and say 10,000,000 million people. Ok now how many people speak French? German? Spanish? Russian? Mandarin Chinese? How Important are these other languages compared to Croatian? I mean French was the language of diplomacy of hundreds of years. In the vaults of the Kremlin are French language letters between diplomats.

World population July 2007 estimated at 6,602,224,175. There must be a lot of extra-terrestrial Croation speakers I was unaware of...

Kako reci "You have ...." i "I want .... " na Hrvatskom? (What's "You have ..." & "I want ..." in Croatian?)

Always a useful thing to be able to say ...

"imaš" (imash) = you have... and "želim" = i want
(listen to those videos for "pronounciation" of š and ž)
"pronounciation" - don't know how to spell that...

Thanks

It's pronunciation - although you do 'pronounce' things ... it's one of those mad words which don't make sense to anyone!
