Kiseljak is a small town in Bosnia.It don't need to be translated.Balija is insulting nickname for muslims.
I don't think anyone in this forum should translate such sentences.

Ooooooh! I am sorry, I haven't known those words. And I'll never ever translate curses!

"Gina is thinking about you" = "Gina misli o tebi"?
"Gina wants to see you" = "Gina želi te vidjeti"

it is correct...but I think it would be better to translate it like ..

"Gina is thinking about you" = "Gina misli na tebe"?
"Gina wants to see you" = "Gina želi da te vidi" or "Gina te želi vidjeti"

Maybe this would sound even better:
Još ponekad poželim da dotrčim do tebe (or as you said da ti dotrčim, sounds nice, you've done it great!) i zagrlim te....ali bih uvidela da bi mi noge ostale vezane (za zemlju).

Keep it up, you're doing it good!

May I know, what is the "po" addition for?

and in 2nd example you wrote dotrcim instead of potrcim, what is the difference?

(just for my knowledge.. thanks!)

First, don't laugh! I'll try to explain, but it will sound odd. I am not an expert for languages, maybe I am wrong, I'll try to use logic.
But you shouldn't trouble yourself with these prefixes, they are learning by heart while speaking or reading, without some brainworks in it.

Želim is generally to wish, poželim when you wish something particularly, at one moment or something specific. Poželim means your wish now has arisen and you wish something at a moment, but it is something as a temporary wish, maybe.

That prefix "po" could refer to the starting point of an action or to put something in action.
Trčati - to run, potrčati - to start runing, break into run
dotrčati - "to finish running", to run and come to sb/sth

gledati - to look, pogledati - to take a look.
tući se - to fight (between each other) potući se - to start fighting (between each other)
tući - to beat, potući or dotući - to rout, to defeat completely, to win out

But smatrati and posmatrati are two different verbs, this "po" is not a prefix, their meanings are very different (smatrati - to hold an opinion about something, to believe, posmatrati - to observe, to watch).

Ohh that makes sense. I mean, I have come to know this jezik is making everything to sound as precise as possible. It's not easy to catch up but nevertheless interesting.

And oh, how about the "za" addition(?) like zagrliti.. which the my dictionary grliti also means the same thing.

By the way. Ja sam iz Maleziju. Drago mi je da sam vas upoznala!

Iz Malezije.
I nama je drago što smo te upoznali

it's the same with zagrliti /grliti. zagrliti is perfective, and grliti is continuous. zagrliti is to hug someone and grliti is to be hugging someone.

Ahaha. You're right.
Ja sam iz Malezije.
Ja sam u Maleziju.

@pthalo: is it the same case for poljubiti and ljubiti too? lol this can go on and on..

probably "Ja sam u Maleziji" because it's feminine, locative. But "Idem u Maleziju" because that's accusative.

I think so, but I'm actually not sure for that one. But almost every verb has two forms, one that means that something happens regularly, or that something is still happening, it's the process of it happening (like the continuous tense in English) and the other means something that's finished or something that only happens once (like perfect tense in English).

Sometimes the pairs will have a prefix: "raditi" (to be doing something) and "uraditi" (to do something)

Sometimes the pairs will have a vowel that changes: oprostiti (to forgive something) opraštati (to be forgiving something, to forgive something again and again and again). You have to learn the pairs and remember which is which, but you get used to it. It's good to learn the pairs at the same time and practice writing sentences. "Oprostiću te još jednom" (I'll forgive you one more time) "Neću više da te opraštam" (I won't be forgiving you anymore)

But I have a vague feeling that poljubiti means to kiss someone like on the cheek, or a quick kiss whereas ljubiti is where you're kissing like two people dating, with tongue and stuff. So I think that one's different from this.

Dear Pthalo, I am learning Serbian from you! Yea, you are right. 10 years have passed since my last grammar class at school Probably the grammar is different now.

Ja sam u Malieziji. (where? static, locative). I am in Malaysia
Idem u Maleziju. (where? dynamic, direction, accusative). I go to Malaysia.

Well, Pthalo, you are right for kissing too Poljubiti probably refers to one kiss, but it could be a French kiss "with tongue and stuff", you never know
