D i ja učimo hrvatski zajedno.
D and I are learning Croatian together.
U ambulanti su prvo pogledali njezinu šapu i njušku.
At the clinic they first looked at her paw and muzzle.
Poslije cijepljenja dobio je malu poslasticu i odmah počeo veselo mahati repom.
After the vaccination he got a small treat and immediately started wagging his tail happily.
Prije nego što krenemo na autocestu, svratit ćemo do benzinske postaje po vodu i gorivo.
Before we head onto the highway, we will stop by the gas station for water and fuel.
Jedan kotač izgleda malo čudno, pa ćemo stati prije grada i pogledati ga.
One wheel looks a little strange, so we will stop before the city and look at it.
Tek što smo ušli u tunel, radio se ugasio i svi smo zašutjeli.
We had barely entered the tunnel when the radio switched off and we all fell silent.
Ako u retrovizoru vidiš plava svjetla, odmah uspori i provjeri pojas.
If you see blue lights in the rearview mirror, slow down immediately and check your seat belt.
U kampu smo upoznali ženu koja svako ljeto pravi roštilj i uvijek nosi dovoljno ugljena.
At the campsite we met a woman who makes barbecue every summer and always carries enough charcoal.
Kad kampiramo s djecom, uvijek uzmemo dodatni sprej i zatvorimo šator prije mraka.
When we camp with children, we always take extra spray and close the tent before dark.
Tko god vozi noću, mora paziti na smjerokaze, tunel i umorne vozače.
Whoever drives at night must pay attention to signposts, the tunnel, and tired drivers.
Tek što smo upalili roštilj, počela je kiša i svi su potrčali prema autu.
We had barely lit the grill when it started to rain and everyone ran toward the car.
Na autocesti se moja majka osjeća sigurnije kad navigacija govori mirno i jasno.
On the highway my mother feels safer when the navigation speaks calmly and clearly.
Možete li nam reći ima li slobodnog mjesta u kampu i gdje možemo postaviti šator?
Could you tell us whether there is a free spot at the campsite and where we can put up the tent?
Sve što nam za večeras još treba jesu mir, topla juha i cesta bez zastoja.
All we still need for tonight are peace, warm soup, and a road without traffic jams.
Na benzinskoj postaji ćemo kupiti vodu i sendvič.
We will buy water and a sandwich at the gas station.
Ujutro još zijevam i ne želim izaći iz pidžame.
In the morning I am still yawning and I do not want to get out of my pajamas.
Pošto je vani hladno, brzo se presvučem i uzmem debeli džemper.
Since it is cold outside, I quickly change clothes and take a thick sweater.
Pošto mi je pidžama još na krevetu, vratit ću se u sobu i spremiti je u ormar.
Since my pajamas are still on the bed, I will go back to the room and put them in the wardrobe.
Kad dođem kući, izut ću čizme, obuti papuče i opet uzeti onaj sivi džemper.
When I get home, I will take off my boots, put on slippers, and take that gray sweater again.
Ona se ne želi presvući prije sastanka, jer kaže da joj ta suknja i kapa dobro stoje.
She does not want to change clothes before the meeting, because she says that skirt and cap look good on her.
U torbi imam pernicu, dvije kemijske i jedan crveni flomaster.
In my bag I have a pencil case, two pens, and one red felt-tip pen.
Flomaster ne piše dobro, pa ću uzeti plavu kemijsku i poslije kupiti novi.
The felt-tip pen does not write well, so I will take a blue pen and buy a new one later.
Djeca lijepe naljepnice na fascikl i crtaju sunce žutim flomasterom.
The children stick stickers on the folder and draw the sun with a yellow felt-tip pen.
Kad stignem u hotel, prvo ću raspakirati torbu i staviti stvari u ormar.
When I arrive at the hotel, I will first unpack my bag and put my things in the wardrobe.
Čim se vratimo, raspakirat ćemo torbe i oprati sve što je bilo unutra.
As soon as we return, we will unpack the bags and wash everything that was inside.
Na tržnici danas kupujem lubenicu, dinju i pola kilograma marelica.
At the market today I am buying a watermelon, a melon, and half a kilo of apricots.
Moja baka najviše voli trešnje i šljive, ali ja radije jedem marelice.
My grandmother likes cherries and plums the most, but I prefer to eat apricots.
Ako je lubenica hladna, narezat ćemo je poslije ručka i pojesti vani.
If the watermelon is cold, we will cut it after lunch and eat it outside.
Jučer sam od trešanja i šljiva napravila kompot, a danas ću ispeći kolač s marelicama.
Yesterday I made compote from cherries and plums, and today I will bake a cake with apricots.
Kad mi ga pošalješ, odmah ću ga pročitati i reći ću ti što mislim.
When you send it to me, I will read it immediately and tell you what I think.
Kad budem završila sve obaveze, sjest ću u fotelju, pojesti nekoliko trešanja i napokon se odmoriti.
When I have finished all my chores, I will sit in the armchair, eat a few cherries, and finally rest.
Molim te, izađi iz auta i zatvori vrata.
Please, get out of the car and close the door.
Kad je vjetar hladan, nosim kapu i šal.
When the wind is cold, I wear a cap and a scarf.
Kad budem našla kemijsku, ispisat ću obrazac i potpisati ga.
When I find the ballpoint pen, I will print the form and sign it.
Na sastanku jedni druge slušamo i poštujemo.
At the meeting, we listen to and respect one another.
Otkako su zaruke objavljene, moja baka svaki dan govori o haljini i glazbi.
Ever since the engagement was announced, my grandmother has talked every day about the dress and the music.
Otkako planiraju vjenčanje, mladenka i mladoženja imaju manje slobodnog vremena nego prije.
Ever since they started planning the wedding, the bride and groom have had less free time than before.
Budući da moja sestra peče tortu, ja ću kupiti svjećice i sok.
Since my sister is baking the cake, I will buy candles and juice.
Budući da je dvorana daleko od centra, krenut ćemo ranije i uzeti taksi.
Since the hall is far from the center, we will leave earlier and take a taxi.
On je htio sjediti blizu glazbe, ali je umjesto toga sjeo pokraj djeda i mirno razgovarao.
He wanted to sit near the music, but instead he sat next to grandfather and talked calmly.
Bilo da je riječ o malim zarukama ili velikom vjenčanju, za mene su najvažniji poštovanje, mir i osjećaj da smo jedni uz druge.
Whether it is a small engagement or a big wedding, for me the most important things are respect, peace, and the feeling that we are there for one another.
Možete li mi, molim vas, pokazati gdje stoje buket i čestitka za mladenku?
Could you please show me where the bouquet and the greeting card for the bride are?
Na terasi pijemo kavu i gledamo kako trava raste poslije kiše.
On the terrace we drink coffee and watch how the grass grows after the rain.
Moja vrtlarica kaže da svaka sadnica treba dovoljno vode i malo sjene.
My gardener says that every seedling needs enough water and a little shade.
Unatoč umoru, poslije posla još zalijevam vrt i provjeravam kompost.
Despite the tiredness, after work I still water the garden and check the compost.
Unatoč tome što sam bila zauzeta, jutros sam uspjela ubrati nekoliko marelica i jednu ružu.
Despite the fact that I was busy, this morning I managed to pick a few apricots and one rose.
U košarici su krafna, burek i još jedno toplo pecivo.
In the basket there is a doughnut, a burek, and one more warm pastry.
Skener je u uredu, pa ću sutra skenirati obrazac i poslati ga s poveznicom.
The scanner is in the office, so tomorrow I’ll scan the form and send it with the link.
Ako skener opet ne radi, fotografirat ću dokument mobitelom i poslati ga kasnije.
If the scanner doesn’t work again, I’ll photograph the document with my phone and send it later.
Ako ti se sutra bude išlo u šetnju, možemo prošetati do rijeke i usput kupiti pecivo.
If you feel like going for a walk tomorrow, we can walk to the river and buy pastries on the way.
U zdjelu stavljam brašno, vodu i malo kvasca.
I put flour, water, and a little yeast into the bowl.
Moja baka pravi najbolje palačinke s malinama i malo vrhnja.
My grandmother makes the best pancakes with raspberries and a little cream.
Za ručak ću skuhati gljive, grašak i malo riže.
For lunch I will cook mushrooms, peas, and a little rice.
U umak od gljiva dodajem vrhnje i malo peršina.
I add cream and a little parsley to the mushroom sauce.
Ipak, moj otac kaže da doručak bez slanine i jaja nije pravi doručak.
Still, my father says that breakfast without bacon and eggs is not a real breakfast.
Kad u loncu kuham grašak, uvijek dodam malo peršina i soli.
When I cook peas in a pot, I always add a little parsley and salt.
Možete li kušati juhu i reći mi treba li još octa?
Could you taste the soup and tell me whether it needs more vinegar?
U salatu od kupusa stavljam malo octa, ulja i soli.
I put a little vinegar, oil, and salt in the cabbage salad.
U zamrzivaču imamo grašak i jednu vrećicu gljiva za sutra.
In the freezer we have peas and one bag of mushrooms for tomorrow.
Moja teta će sutra poslužiti juhu, a ja ću donijeti salatu i kruh.
My aunt will serve the soup tomorrow, and I will bring the salad and bread.
Sve što nam još treba jesu mirna kuhinja, malo strpljenja i dobar recept.
All we still need is a quiet kitchen, a little patience, and a good recipe.
Moj brat često pomiješa pridjev i imenicu kad brzo piše.
My brother often mixes up an adjective and a noun when he writes quickly.
Profesorica nam je pokazala kako isti pridjev izgleda u jednini i u množini.
The professor showed us how the same adjective looks in the singular and in the plural.
Kad citiraš nečije riječi, stavi ih u navodnike i pazi gdje ide zarez.
When you quote someone’s words, put them in quotation marks and pay attention to where the comma goes.
Možete li mi što jednostavnije objasniti razliku između sinonima i antonima?

When you write a formal message, write as politely and as clearly as possible.
Da nema toliko novih padeža, učila bih hrvatski što opuštenije i bez straha.
If there were not so many new cases, I would study Croatian as relaxed as possible and without fear.
Na kraju sata profesorica traži da u jednoj rečenici napišemo značenje novog glagola i jedan antonim za pridjev koji učimo.
At the end of the lesson the professor asks us to write, in one sentence, the meaning of a new verb and one antonym for the adjective we are learning.
Nemoj pomiješati lozinku i korisničko ime.
Don't mix up the password and the username.
Volim zdravu hranu, npr. voće i povrće.
I like healthy food, e.g. fruit and vegetables.
Obično zakazujem sastanke početkom tjedna, ali sam danas zakazala pregled za četvrtak i odmah potvrdila termin.
I usually schedule meetings at the beginning of the week, but today I scheduled a checkup for Thursday and immediately confirmed the appointment.
I ja ponekad pristajem prebrzo, pa se kasnije predomislim i poželim drugi plan.
I also sometimes agree too quickly, and later change my mind and want a different plan.
Prošli vikend smo dočekali goste s toplom juhom i kolačem, pa su odmah rekli da se kod nas osjećaju kao kod kuće.
Last weekend we welcomed the guests with warm soup and cake, so they immediately said that they feel at home at our place.
Možete li utišati radio i ne pojačavati televizor dok razgovaram s doktoricom?
Could you turn down the radio and not turn up the television while I am talking with the doctor?
Stavi kaput na vješalicu i provjeri radi li kvaka, jer se vrata ponekad teško otvaraju.
Put the coat on the hanger and check whether the handle works, because the door is sometimes hard to open.
Na onoj vješalici vise moja jakna, tvoj šal i dvije mokre kape.
On that hanger are hanging my jacket, your scarf, and two wet caps.
Prije nego što prijeđeš ulicu, stani kod pješačkog prijelaza i pogledaj lijevo pa desno.
Before you cross the street, stop at the pedestrian crossing and look left and then right.
Bila sam razočarana i nestrpljiva, jer je vlak kasnio skoro sat vremena.
I was disappointed and impatient, because the train was late by almost an hour.
Kad profesorica vidi lijep rukopis i dobar redoslijed rečenica, lakše prati što si htjela reći.
When the professor sees nice handwriting and a good order of sentences, she can more easily follow what you wanted to say.
Kad stignemo na obalu, prvo ću otvoriti suncobran i obući kupaći kostim.
When we reach the coast, I will first open the sun umbrella and put on my swimsuit.
Galeb leti iznad valova i spušta se gotovo do mora.
A seagull is flying above the waves and coming down almost to the sea.
Na ležaljci pod suncobranom čitam roman i slušam galebove.

Njih troje često zajedno doručkuje prije nego što krenu u vrtić i školu, a blizanci uvijek sjede jedan pokraj drugoga.

Molim te, sastavi kratku poruku za roditelje i proslijedi im novu adresu vrtića.
Please compose a short message for the parents and forward them the new address of the kindergarten.

If my little niece starts to cry, give her the pacifier and show her the book with animals.
Prije spavanja provjerim jesu li duda i čista pelena u torbi.
Before bedtime I check whether the pacifier and a clean diaper are in the bag.
