Kinda useful thread guys So here we go, i need your help.
The phrase: "jel vam tesko da se javite, ako ne zelis reci mi da znam da ti nedosadjujem ali javi odma pozdrav".
As far as i get it: "Is it hard for you to answer, if u dont want tell me so that i know and dont bother but send the answer immediately"
I just wanna know if i get it right, cuz this is kinda important

I'm glad you find it useful. And, your translation is correct

Is it hard for you to answer, if u dont want to tell me so that i know and dont bother you but send the answer immediately regards

Can this also be used for Croatian practice? or is there another place?
Hvala!!!

vodica is diminutive for voda (water)
the word for guide is vodič

besjede is plural noun for allocution, speech, story telling (something like that.. its an old word)
uvele is adjective used e.g. with the word ruže (plural for rose) if they are whithered (dead; dry)
šaputati means whispering and šapće is version of the verb used with male nouns
polomiću means I will break
trune = something is rotting (like the dead rose for example )

Well okay you got me at ispričavam se isl.. but I can try

I'm sorry; Excuse me - Oprostite; Ispričavam se

Where is my love (female) - Gdje je moja ljubav? and, doesn't matter if male or female
I am happy - Sretan sam (sretan = happy, sam = I am, do I have this correct) yep!
I am sad - Tužan sam (tužan = sad, sam = I am)
I am hungry - gladan sam if male is saying it and Gladna sam if female is saying it
I am fine, thank you and you - Dobro sam, hvala a ti?

How are you - Kako ste? (plural or honorific) Kako si? (singular, informal)

PS
Im famous for being really bad at explanations so.. !

Hvala Spring!! your explanation will help me!!! I am grasping the somewhat simple things from the croatian song translations .. hehe .. now I am trying to piece together simple sentences etc.
why did you use je instead of se in gdje "je" moja ljubav?

You mean in
Where is my love (male) - Gdje se nalazi moje ljube or Gdje se moje ljube?
as opposed to:
Gdje je moja ljubav?

well.. you can also say:
Gdje se nalazi moja ljubav
but... not really... because, Gdje se nalazi is used when you literally ask for location of something, like Gdje se nalazi autobuska stanica? (where is (located) bus station)

Oh my hvala!! ooooooooh I see there is Serbian in there also!! awesome!! I added the cyrillic language to my language bar so I could see if there was a correspondence to english keyboard .. it appears to be the same .. on il/elle and ils/elles I see we have neutral, male & female genders is that correct?
on - neutral
ona - female
one - male

oni - neutral
one - male
ona - female

or do I have them completely reversed?

Hvala!!!

Good for you.
I suffer trying to put the Greek one, but my frikin language bar remove it after i tturn off / lately again on the pc.

Well,
он is in neutral singular
она is in female singular
оне is in neutral plural

они is in male plural
оне is in neutral plural
она is in female singular

Hope u get it
