LEARN CROATIAN: 10+ Essential Croatian Words You MUST KNOW!

[@edipyatic959]

I used 'Oprostite' all the time when visiting crowded areas.

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

Oh, that's a good one! I should have used it in the video.

[@Ruster3D]

palacinke is what I use most

[@Clay_Bead_Creations]

I love palacinke!! My 1 year old cousin says cinke because she doesnt know 😂

[@krisjustin3884]

Hvala! From a grateful Croatian descendant! Interesting lesson.

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

I am very glad, nema na čemu!

[@BoogieBoyBrown]

I'm planning on going to either Zagreb or Dubrovnik next year! I have a friend who I used to work with, and he taught me a bunch of things to say to start my learning of the language!

[@beautifulworld8675]

I am studying Croatian for 1 year.when i watch this .I am proud that I already know this words

[@JB-mz7wj]

In Croatia on holiday, so put this video on - I am originally Polish, and there are so many similarities!

Wish I had seen this before our trip this summer, which was fabulous. I have fallen in love with your country! Hope to go back as soon as possible with a much better vocabulary.

Dobro Sand i puno hvala! I was born in Washington State, USA, have all Croatian ancestors and never been to Croatia yet but belong to a local Croatian community group and am taking some light Hrvatski lessons there right now. I have enjoyed a couple of your videos, you have an easy, friendly approach to learning Croatian.👍🙂

[@bethmarie77]

I'm from Washington State, and my dad was serbo Croatian, ive yet to go but i truly want to learn language and it's hard with no one to talk to...what part of Washington? I'm Everett!

[@bethmarie77]

ps is your last name spelled lovrović, mine ends with a ć as well, but I've learned my whole life to pronounce it with a CK sound, so annoying, I guess my grandparents gave up on it ever being pronounced correctly...

[@Inwoodian19]

Thank you. Very good lesson.

[@ignaciosalinas1672]

Gracias nuevamente!!!

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

Con gusto

[@Tongkat_Ali]

Bok Sanda! Great video. The phrases "Drago mi je" (Nice to meet you) & "Kako ste?" (How are you?) are also helpful & easy to learn.

[@ilu8409]

I will be saying lots of hvala while vacationing in Croatia this year. Can't wait to visit this beautiful country.

[@helenlouiseadams]

Ah that’s brilliant. I’m thinking of going this year too…are you staying in one town or travelling all over?

[@Abbu-l3f]

Good teaching I will try to learn

[@mattalford3862]

Very helpful! I will be visiting Croatia soon with my daughters for the first time. I will be watching a lot of your videos to learn as much I can. 😅 Hvala!

🇭🇷 History of croatian language is very different compared to other south slavic nations ❗ Until 19th century croatian language was separate language it had nothing to do with other south slavic languages. Mad Croats decided to unite croatian language with other south slavic languages in order to create the same Standard literary language for all South Slavs to achieve impossible mad South Slavic unity 😂😢. Today we regret that decision so much 😢😢😢. Croatian man Ljudevit Gaj in 1830 created croatian Latin alphabet called Gajica, later ALL south slavic nations including Slovenia adopted croatian Latin alphabet. In 1558 ❤ Croatian language was named as Mother of all slavic languages, croatian language then became one of the official languages at Western universities of that time. Every single Slav had to know croatian language if he, she wanted to study at Western universities of that time. The first Croatian dictionary was published in 1595, the first Croatian Grammar book was published in 1604, ❤❤❤ Croats are the first Slavic people to publish a book in their own language in 1483. Other south slavic nations published their first dictionaries several centuries later compared to Croatia. Croatian language and literature went through Renaissance and Enlightenment periods something that other south slavic nations, except Slovenia, never experienced because they were never part of catholic Latin civilisation in the first place. 🇭🇷 Ikavski is still spoken in southern Croatia Dalmatia, 🇺🇦 Ikavski is spoken in Ukraine too. Why? Ancient pagan White Croatia was once located in Ukraine. In Western Ukraine today still exists an ancient settlement of Stilsko, capital city of pagan Croats. Croatia is named after Croats who came from ancient White Croatia. 😊

very nice and simply explained to words. i thank you again and again.

[@Ama-hi5kn]

I know some basic Polish so many of the words are similar. I have a Bosnian friend so maybe she could teach me. I just have to get in touch with her again.

[@maliknaveed5198]

Good lesson

[@kassanoannab6672]

I'm learning from you, hvala

[@NedPajkuric]

My father was born there and I was there when I was 10. That was 55 years ago. My mothers parents were born there also. My parents spoke to me in Yugoslavian but I always spoke back to them in English. I only spoke it when I was there in 1969. I was in Kostreana. Don't know if that is the correct spelling. Thanks for jogging my memory.

[@annjacquelincussianovichcr3562]

Congratulations! Nice video ...much more dynamic, joyful and fluid.

[@CroatianExperiencewithSanda]

Thank you for your lovely feedback! Have you been following for a while?

[@lonotiki]

Laku noć , thie first I learned in croatian ❤ I'm so thankful to learn more. How do you say rollerskating!?

[@WtfDo]

rolanje, the nj is pronounced ny btw depending on the area your in, people have diffrent accents. in istra its čakavski, dalmacija štokavski and in međimurje kajkavski the name of the diffrent accents are based off the way how you say "how" čakavski - ča štokavski - što kajkavski - kaj

[@walkermia6363]

Thanks ❤

[@bethmarie77]

I'm currently in 2nd year croatian but i feel like I might as well be in the 1st month. it is so confusing, I can't wait to compliment my class with your videos...please don't stop! I've found many other croatian channels but none have been updated or they are too simple and not caring about grammar. I have to care cause if I see things spelled differently which they often are then I'm confused so I've learned about cases, future, past, present, comparative, imperative, but you wouldn't think so, I may be able to come up with it if I sit here and think for a few minutes but you can't talk like that! anyways will definitely be looking forward to gledati još tvoj kanal! or would it be gledam, i meant to say watching more if your channel so I think gledati?

[@dodododo6875]

još tvog kanala is probably more correct.

[@antonioleytt4703]

Bela professora, ensinas muito bem, Congratulations!

[@ianparker6636]

Hvala Sanda. What is the difference between evo and izvoli molim.

[@spatrk6634]

evo is casual, you would say it to your friend. izvoli is more polite version of it but when you want to be polite we speak to single person as if they are plural. so it would be "izvolite" instead of "izvoli"

[@stephaniedolinac2952]

Grateful!!!!

Thank you Sanda excellent. What is the Croatian word for angel?

[@williamtarabalka4920]

- I have seen future tenses using versions of Biti [budem, budeš, bude, budemo budete, budu] as the auxiliary as opposed to Htjeti forms. - Is this common?

You could use "Izvolite" instead of Evo ..? I'm from India and learning Jugoslavija language 😊

[@spatrk6634]

yes. izvolite is lot more polite version of evo. you would say evo to your friend but izvolite to your boss or to older person out of respect.

In Restaurant. May I have a look at the kitchen, please? ( Molim vas smijem li pogledati kuhinju? ) How old is this black oil in the fryer? ( Koliko je staro ovo crno ulje u fritezi? ) Why is there no leftover food in the trash can? ( Zašto nema ostataka nepojedene hrane u kanti za otpatke? ) Do you throw away uneaten food or serve it to another guest? ( Da li bacate ostatke nepojedene hrane ili ih servirate drugom gostu?) Why do you keep expired foods in the fridge? ( Zašto držite u frižideru namirnice kojima je istekao rok trajanja? ) If I didn't get the bill, I'm not obliged to pay, goodbye. ( Ako nisam dobio račun nisam dužan platiti, doviđenja. )
