Day 1 : How to Make Plans for Coffee in Croatian

Hej, jesi li za kavu ovaj vikend?  
Do you wanna go for a coffee this weekend?

Može! Kad ti paše?  
Sure, when would be good for you?

Jesi li slobodna u subotu ujutro?  
Are you free on Saturday morning?

Nažalost nisam, već imam dogovor. Može u nedjelju?  
Unfortunately, I already have plans. How about Sunday?

Može, super! Hoćemo u Bar A?  
Sure, great! Do you want to go to Bar A?

Ne volim ići tamo, uvijek je jako zadimljeno. Što kažeš da odemo u bar B?  
I don’t like going there, it’s always full of smoke. What about going to Bar B?

Ne bih tamo jer je uvijek gužva, nećemo naći stol.  
I wouldn’t go there, it’s always crowded. We won’t find a table.

A da odemo u onaj novi kafić na uglu Frankopanske i Ilice?  
How about we go to that new café at the corner of Frankopanska and Ilica?

Dobra ideja! Tamo nije skupo, i imaju finu kavu.  
Good idea! It’s not expensive there, and they have great coffee.

Kad se nalazimo?  
When will we meet?

Je li ti 10 prerano?  
Is 10 o’clock too early for you?

Ajmo radije 10:30 da ne zakasnim.  
Let’s make it 10:30 instead so I’m not late.

Može! Možemo se naći na stanici u Frankopanskoj.  
Great! We can meet at the tram station on Frankopanska Street.

Dogovoreno. Vidimo se!  
It’s a deal. See you!
