I wouldn't know to tell in Serbian, as I'm only learning it, but I'd say an "extension officer" is a person who does a similar job to a Receptionist...switching the incoming calls to different extention (phone) numbers within one company.
For instance, I ring a company and ask for extention no. 3335 (which is a certain department or a person I'm looking for) and they switch me to this particular number.

The reason why this position is not called "receptionist" could be because the environment is like a bank, a post office or a tax office rather than a company. Or simply because you don't need to do all the duties done by receptionist, you just switch the calls as requested.

I hope this helps!

Thank you Nene for the explanation!
I am still not sure though cause... it's some kind of "manual for extension officers in horticultural marketing"

Spring,

Nema na čemu.

Huh, I can imagine what kind of translation you have to do...
Well in this case it is different. All I know is that an "extension officer in horticultural marketing" is a person who needs to know everything about the marketing (how to sell the best and what to sell - for instance which fruit and vegetables) and also about importing and exporting restrictions regarding different countries. Because the farmers are specialized in growing, they might not know everything about selling in different countries. This is the job of the Extension Officer. He tries to make the business work for the benefit of the farmers. Hope this makes any sense to you...

I've also found and example of such manual, although still don't have a clue how to translate the title:
http://www.fao.org/docrep/s8270e/s8270e00.htm

Good luck my dear!!!

Yep I think it's something FAO invented because you are definitely on a good track! Though, the thing that I was translating just mentioned the manual (thank God! lol)

Thank you very much! (again)!

Вјенчање Дејана и Касије - 9. Фебруар 2008.

don't forget the period after the numbers to indicate they're cardinal numbers!


cheers !

Could somebody please tell me how to say in either Serbian or Croatian "Maria is thinking about her future". Both latin and cyrillic scripts will be very much appreciated!

latin: Marija (Maria) razmišlja o svojoj budućnosti

cyrillic: Марија размишља о својој будућности

Thank you so much Adrienne!

Didn't I already translate that ? somewhere.. I think I did lol

anyways.. I think it's Kesi, rather than Kasija
and also - "j" doesn't fit with Cyrillic and February is generally not supposed to be written with capital F (unless to look nicer)

Венчање Дејана и Кeси - 09. фебруар 2008.

in case you didn't know j IS a cyrillic letter so it does fit....and ok ifoit Kasi but it has to have the genitive mark otherwise it's not gramatically correct:

Vjencanje Dejana i Kesije....or Kese...but it's not nice to hear so that's why I prefer the the 1st solution

Serbian: Venčanje
Croatian,Bosnian: Vjenčanje

Cyrillic=Serbian=Венчање

can you please translate for me into english.

Hvala na cestitki.puno smo vas pozeleili I jedva cekamo da vas vidimo da li je unja primila nase poruke za njen rodjendan posto smo dobili riport da nijsu dospel.

Can you please translate this into serbian.

Hey sweetie, I'll ask mum if she received any of your birthday wishes i'm, not to sure. How are you anyway? what has been happening we miss you all!!!!

Vjencanje is also serbian....serbs from bosnia croatia or montenegro spek the jekaski dialect although they speak serbian ! serbian does not mean ekavski exclusively...

So.. there are (minimum) 3 different languages but the only difference is in occasional "j" and "ij" here and there though you are claiming there is the "j" in Serbian too?

Serbs from Bosnia obviously speak - Bosnian (if we are to accept that there is such a language but we have to .. considering that it's their right to call the language they speak whatever they want.. this is a free world and so on...

In any case, I can NOT imagine squeezing the "j" in Cyrilic variant of the Yugoslavian words

If we assume the person's name is pronounced Kesi, there is no reason to transform it into some kajsija version lol
The fact that J is used in Serbian has nothing to do with the fact that there is no j in Serbian vencanje (unless if I marry a Croatian/Bosnian) and you can think what you want lol

1)Thank you for your card*.We miss you a lot and can't wait to see you again.Did aunt** recieved our wishes*** for her birthday,because we got a report that they haven't been delivered.

* I gues this was answer on some kind of birthday,new year or christmas card.Otherwise: čestitke=congratulations

**I suppose they meant "ujna"=aunt because the word "unja" doesn't exist in Serbian

***poruka=message in literal translation but again I think "wishes" would be more propriate in this case

2)Hej slatkišu*,pitaći mamu da li je dobila vaše rođendanske želje(poruke),nisam sigurna.Kako ste inače?Šta se dešava kod vas?Puno nam nedostajete.

* sweety=slatkišu this is literal translation again,but I would use it only when refering to a small child or my sweetheart(actually I never use it personaly because it sounds totally silly but you can hear people saying that sometimes).I would rather use "dušo" here.It's more neutral but still refers to someone who is very close to you.

I'll have to agree with this.

Sorry bu I don't agree...

I'm actuallly on SLAVISTIC studies at the Sorbonne university in Paris and I know what I am talking about, otherwise I'm a bosnian native speaker which also confirm what I wrote...

In Bosnia for instance there are 3 official languages : Bosnian Croatian & Serbian.

the serbsin BiH or in Serbia speak serbian and if you had read the grammar by Stevanovic you'd know that the serbian language has 2 dialect which are ekavski ijekavski.

So what you are saying is compoletely false....

plus J is a letter of the cyrillic alphabet or AZBUKA as u prefer


AБВГДЂЕЖЗИ >>> Ј <<<К Л ЉМН...

so please be sure of what you say before posting....

You don't know serbian grammar at all !!!
