[@tonyjeliccflstudiehandledn7348]

Sasvim prirodno. Tako je to i kod drugih naroda i jezika. Npr. ABBA , svedska grupa koja je dobila reputaciju po svom skolskom engleskom jeziku za razliku od grupa iz engleskih govornih zemalja. Poznato je da su nastavnici u svojoj nastavi engleskog jezika u Brazilu koristili ABBA-ine pjesme. Za svoj jezik ni ne maris, ali kada ti je strani jezik onda se trudis da ne pogrijesis i da sve tocno izgovoris. Vrlo logicno.

[@ivanmarzic5611]

​@@nandy178 Tak je!

[@denisdralec1993]

Engleska rijec "floor" ima jos i znacenje 'pod' (podloga po kojoj hodas) pa je otud logicno da je prizemlje 'prvi pod'. Ali hrvatska rijec 'kat' nema to znacenje, mi za podlogu po kojoj hodamo kazemo 'pod'. Za nas rijec 'kat' jednostavno predstavlja uzvisenje, nivo, pa je logicno da brojimo katove od 'prvog uzvisenja'. Floor = surface on which one walks Kat = level above the ground

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Super ste to opisali. Sad je jasnije!

[@Domladovac]

Super objašnjenje. Nikad nisam mislio o tome, ali isto se događa u mom materinskom jeziku, portugalskom, gdje chão = pod i andar = kat. U Brazilu kao što u Hrvatskoj prizemlje je 0. Sad živim u Kanadi i čudno mi je vidjeti broj 1 na prizemlju.

Na otoku (Dalmacija, a možda i šire) se prije govorilo (neki još uvijek) da ideš na pod, a "pod podon" je prizemlje. ;-)

We also have sms parking and we don't count the first floor! We also love coffee but it differs from Turkish coffee, I think Swedish coffee, often with milk is more like American coffee. Swedish people are also more like American/Canadian, we like to plan before we meet our friends, often in calendars in our smartphones, because everyone is always busy.

Ah, yes, Croatians and their coffee. This relationship transcends consumption and enjoyment to represent a real lifestyle act that almost reaches religious levels. ;-) Although told from the opposite perspective of yours, Cody McClain Brown's "Chasing a Croatian Girl" does a wonderful job of illustrating many of your points; the best perhaps being his description of the drinking of coffee, above above all at the kakfic. This is always one of my major enjoyments every time I am in Croatia. Whether in Zagreb, Karlovac, Split or out on the islands whenever I have a few minutes (to endless hours) free I can always count on a kafic being within easy walking distance. This an experience that is Starbucks and co. do not even come close to achieving.

[@ReVincentius]

Thank you, dear sir, for explaining us for ourselves so good! As a Croatian, I wouldn't explain it better. And for this video, I just adooore this dear lady and her family. I remember that my parents (I was born '84) never reffered about anyone as how many years some people have but the year they were born. I never tought about it as somethin weird, but when you wrote it (said) down, I do found that kind of awkward for someone. I just love your videos! P. S. You just used to "Vegeta" and now you need to unlearn it (hahha doslovno sam preveo "odučiti se"). Also, there were times when they ("oni" as government, scientists, doctors [physicians]) taught us that cooking on the grease ("mast") is healthier than cooking on oil, but today is far from that, so cooking on grease (i think the term is "fat") is better than oil = "pečenje/kuhanje na masti je bolje, osobito seoska mast (mislim, ne kupovna; baka could have it) nego li peći na ulju". God, I love your friday fish (actually, one of my grandmothers who was atheist, always ate fish or any kind of seafood on friday, and especially bakalar [codfish] on Christmas Eve [which I hated as much as I hate janjetinu (lamb) so my father often described me as misplaced in birth hospital] - so the other part of statement is absolutely correct, and I love also your taste on manual (standard) shifter in cars and and and everything. So, in Split (southern Croatia, Dalmatia) is the same ;-) Much love! P. P. S. I just wrote this in (I don't know the word) dahu (dah - breath) so pardon my grammar.

Hvala Ivana!

I have been following you for a long time and you really made me happy with this video, because I have been living in Germany for a couple of years, and otherwise I am from Croatia and I can tell you that you have described our people very truthfully. It is very interesting to watch how you experience our culture and everything that has always interested me for someone to tell me their experiences. I look forward to your next videos and a lot of greetings to you and your family 👌🤗❤

Thank you so much for your kind words Marija! Veliki pozdrav iz Zagreba!!

Great Video!

Super interesting. Hvala.

Još jedna razlika je i kod stanova. Kod nas se i dnevni boravak broji pod ukupni broj soba, a u Sjevernoj Americi se u obzir uzimaju samo spavaće sobe.

[@maramara6708]

Nije ja imam jednosoban stan sa jednom spavaćoj sobom a imam kuhinju dnevni boravak trpezariju spaizu balkon WC sa kupatilima i WC za goste bez tusa

My second video of yours I am watching. About the floors. Let me tell you. That was a huge difference for me to get used to. I was born and raised in New Zealand. In NZ the floors are the ground floor and then the 1st floor, 2nd floor, 3rd floor, etc. When I married and moved to Canada, the ground floor suddenly disappeared. So I went the opposite way from you when it comes to floor levels!! Also NZ does not have a dryer culture, It is the norm in NZ for clothes to be hung out on the clothesline. Every home has a back yard with a clothes line. I felt it was strange to not only be required to use a dryer in Toronto when I moved here, but to also be required to pay for it!! We live in an apartment building so the laundry room is communal!! The backyard clothes line is free!! I used the 24 hour clock for my job in NZ and I continue to use it in Canada even if noone else does!! LOL Montreal & Quebec also seems to use the 24 hour clock. Love these videos!! Wish I could visit Croatia.Zadar (aka Zara) is the city I would most love to visit!!

[@marinajuric9392]

Super video! Samo nastavite objavljivati! :)

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Puno hvala Marina!

[@bg1548]

Prekrasno pozdrav OD California

[@tchenna1]

Bless! You’re amazing. I can’t imagine moving from Canada to Croatia, considering all the differences but I believe it’s your attitude and your mindset that has made it possible for you. It’s really nice to see!

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Thanks Anna! :)

[@AnamarijaFerrari]

Wow can't believe the sms parking doesn't exist in Canada or US. Kind of feel proud now hehe :) whenever someone starts saying how we are behind the "modern" world, this will be a great comeback :)

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Right?! It's crazy that no one else really does it!

[@tihomirrasperic]

simplicity and ingenuity for sms parking is shocking for all foreigners, especially as the other extreme, Croatian bureaucracy

[@karlo9802]

Fun fact, Pay-by-phone parking was invented by croatians in 2001!

[@DerSaa]

Nice video! Keep it up! I am very interested in this, because I have Croatian friends!

[@ItsJustFashion]

I find your canada vs croatia so fun and interesting to watch! 🤗

[@RoyalCroatianTours]

Aww, thank you!

[@SandraZagreb]

You are so right! I am Zagreb born, but have been living in Canada for the past 14 years. Life in CA and CRO really isn't that different, but the differences you talk about are spot on! Btw. You can get Vegeta in any of the big grocery chains in Canada (well, at least in Ontario) 😉

[@zeljanpopovic6994]

I think that @PaulBradbury is feelin` proud of you and your channel 😁😁

[@VedranMavrovic]

Znači, odem na random video, koji me privukao nazivom, i žena se vozi kroz Budenec. Znači, samo ljubav. ❤️
