Kasnim... ali dobro

I also never thought smitten has anything to do with smite but ... seems it's past participle of smite

pogoditi =
1. (tr. and intr.) to hit; ~ metu = to hit the target; ~ u centar = to hit the bull's-eye; (basketball) on je pogađao koš sa svakog odstojanja = he hit the basket from every distance
2. (tr.) to affect, influence, touch; to upset; mene je pogodila vaša iskrenost = I was touched by your sincerity; to pogađa naše interese = that affects our interests; poplava je pogodila ovu pokrajinu = a (the) flood struck this region
3. (intr.) to guess

You can be "pogodjena ljubavlju" but it sort of has a negative connotation

savladati (savladana) ; the enemy is defeated = neprijatelj je savladan;
savladati strah = to overcome one's fear

ubuzeti
obuzela me ljubav = a feeling of love came over me;
obuzeta mislima, ne primecujem nista oko sebe = occupied by my thoughts, I don't notice anything around me
obuzet panikom = overcome by panic

spopasti
šta te je sad spopalo? what's come over you? ljubav me je spopala
odjednom me je spopala ljubav (prema...) = suddenly I felt love (for...);

Zaljubljena.. I guess you can say "izgubljena (lost)" but as you can see, when lacking a context, it can mean anything. Though.. I suppose smitten is the same

I actually have no idea what would be the best equivalent for smitten. If I search for its synonyms
infatuated = zaludjen, zanesen (you can be "zaludjen/zanesen ljubavlju")
charmed = ocaran, opcinjen (ljubavlju)

Another dictionary says: smitten = pometen, zanesen

And, is there a synonym for "zaljubljen"? Zatreskan? Not really because zatreskan (u nekog) is to have a crush on smb. Maybe Izgubiti glavu (za nekim).
Kad ga (je) vidim, potpuno izgubim glavu (napusti me razum, oduzmem se), which means, I'm in loooooove

zaljubiti se C (pf.) zaljubljivati se D (imp.) = to fall in love; ~ u nekoga = to fall in love with smb.; ~ jedno u drugo = to fall in love with each other; *~ do ušiju (preko glave, ludo, smrtno) = to fall madly (head over heels) in love

Can you translate this for me to English, please?:

"cujes li se sa bratom" Thanks!!!

"cujes li se sa bratom" means something like - do you (sometimes) talk to your brother on the phone.

"Do you hear from your brother?"

Or something like "Have you kept in contact with your brother?"

can someone tell me how to say the following in Serbian please?

"I have no friends in Serbia, but I'll be crossing my fingers for Marija to be the winner of Dečja Pesma Evrovizije, that's all I can do. sorry"

hvala u napred (I learned a new word yay!)

Unapred is one word (not "u napred")

"I have no friends in Serbia, but I'll be crossing my fingers for Marija to be the winner of Dečja Pesma Evrovizije, that's all I can do. sorry"
= Nemam prijatelja (drugova) u Srbiji, ali držaću Mariji fige da pobedi na Dečijoj pesmi Evrovizije. Žao mi je, to je sve što mogu da uradim.

Or - maybe you can say: Ne poznajem nikog u Srbiji, ali... (I don't know anybody in Serbia)

thanks for the translation
I though it was 2 words because I got this:

about "u napred", native speakers make mistakes too

"Invajtove" lol

So.. yes.. you've found a wrong person to learn from Måneblomst
Not that I'm the right one.. but I have a good dictionary to support my claims hehe

unapred
1. in advance, beforehand; ~ platiti = to pay in advance; ~ se radujem susretu = I look forward to the meeting; pripremiti se ~ = to get ready in advance; ~ određen = determined beforehand; hvala unapred = thank you in advance
2. forward; ići ~ = to go forward

unazad
back, backward(s)

yeah, i was laughing at invajtove too shouldn't it be "zahteve"? (that's how it's translated on facebook anyway)

From now on I will stick to what I learn in this forum

you /can/ learn stuff elsewhere, and you should, but just remember that most places don't have the highest literary quality.

for example, don't try to learn anything from youtube comments.

But youtube comments are so useful!!! (jk ) I learned there: "svaka čast" "pesma je odlična" and "najbolja pjevacica ikada"

anyway
how do you say:
- moon flower (like a flower from the moon) and
- " The entire world is waiting for you (all) . Please come to Canada!!!"

Hvala unapred

oh, well yes, you can learn things like that from youtube comments as well. but most youtube videos degenerate quickly into (poorly spellt) politics. i've picked up all sorts of mean words from youtube which I plan to never use in speech myself.

as for your questions, i'll let a real Serbian answer you

hmmmz
- a flower from the moon = cvet sa meseca
moon flower = mesečev cvet (but that literally means Moon's flower)

- The entire world is waiting for you (all) . Please come to Canada!!!" = Čitav svet vas čeka (sve vas). Molim vas dođite u Kanadu!!!

Maybe could be also: držaću palčeve Mariji da bude pobednik (or ... za Mariju da pobedi...)

Šta znači ovu reč?

Živnuvši od bola.

it is from "živnuti" = come to life

A ovo:
"Kucnuo je čas, draga moja Sumado, koja si mi bila bezmalo sestra...".

bezmalo = almost, nearly

bezmalo sestra = "like a sister to me"
