Croatian Dictionary
How to make easier your staying in Croatia. We, Croats, LOVE when someone tries to speak our language! Seriously, you can get free beer just cos you tried to speak our language. If the owner in Dalmacija hears you speaking Croatian count on free dessert. Just give it a try ;)

Beer Pivo Wine Vino Water Voda (be aware: mineral water in Croatian is sparkly water!) Juice Sok Sandwich Sendvić Beach Plaža Good Dobro (we use Dobro for all, like: ok, yes, I agree, confirmation, etc.) Može is like Ok, let’s do it or Ok, I agree. It is used as Dobro too. In Croatia we use many English words: OK, Cool, Sorry, Whatever, Please, By the way, etc., so don’t be surprised to hear kids speaking half Croatian half English. In the North of Croatia people speak English and German, on the South English and Italian. In general, people are hospitable and tent to help, so don’t be afraid to ask for help (ofc try to choose younger people ;) ) |
