you might know why i ask...

I am a learner but I will try to translate, I translated for Croatian language ..
I got 'we are in USA now'

The native speakers can and will correct me. I figure at least trying is better as it helps me to understand better also.

i apreciate that you tried but i think that "sad" means now (although i know that SAD means USA), and that "mi" comes from "meni", i just don't know what ža means (???????)... Maybe the short for žalostno?

i think "we are in USA now" is "sad mi smo u SAD-u" (native correct me if im wrong)

evo - look!/There!
telefon - telephone
prilika - chance/opportunity
ja - I
sjena - shadow
jesam - I am
boja - colour

The closest thing I can think of is
"sad mi je žaO"
Which means Now i regret it.

Yep. That's all correct
Though you can write "Sjena" or "Sjenka" (Sen or Senka in Serbian)
and for Look! you can use Vidi!

For OK we can say "u redu" , "dobro" or just "okej"
hehe

oh though the verb for "can" is "Moći"
Ja mogu - I can
Ti možeš - You can
On/ona/ono može - He/she/it can

mi možemo - We can
vi možete - You can (pl)
oni mogu - They can

and for Look! you can use Vidi!

i think my father says something like "evo ti gana" but i dont know if i hear it right :P

MarkoV, please ask such random questions in Miscellaneous translations thread

It is "evo ti ga na" and I don't think there's appropriate expression in English lol
It means something like "here ya go, take it" .. "

aa i thought it was something like "watch it go"

it wasn't that random :P It was related with what luby91 said. the sad mi je za one was random though lol

Sad mi je žao - Now I'm sorry

Žao mi je - I'm sorry

Sad, sada - now

SAD is USA, good thinking Nur Demir, but in this sentence it's now

Yes but Mi smo u SAD-u sad or Mi smo sad u SAD-u.

If you put sad on the beginning it will be Sad smo u SAD-u
You don't need to put I, You, We... always, You can just say (Ja) sam, (Ti) si...
Sad sam u Srbiji - Now I'm in Serbia
Sad si u Hrvatskoj - Now you're in Croatia.
Trenutno ste u SAD-u - You are in USA at the moment (Trenutno - at the moment, now)

Evo - here is... (Here I am - Evo me. Here he is - Evo ga)
Maybe in some sentenses it will be something like look or There but look is VIDI and There-TAMO

Look at the window - Pogledaj na prozor

U REDU and DOBRO mostly, and we use VAŽI. And OK too but in speech sometimes, it's not literalily.

Why our children don't know their native language (I'm just 19 btw)
.. I hope I will visit Argetina once...

:P i understand 40% of the things when i hear croatian but i can't speak. My family only speaks croatian to me when they dont want the rest of the people in the place to understand. (im 17)

Argentina will be extremely cheap to you when you enter de EU (1 peso is 20 cents of an euro). In the meantime you have a lot of countries to visit near you i suppose :P

well thats enough chat, spring will remind us the objective of the thread :P

ill send mi msn to you by pm
