Stranica Cista
Očistio sam moju stranicu za razgovor i konverzaciju. Zaprljajte ju! As a note, it is meant to literrally translate to "I cleaned my page for talk and conversation. Dirty it up." I understand that my command of the Croatian language is limited and I am still learning. Although I am not discouraging critisism and constructive comments of my linguistic skills, it would be better if I noted this.

It's easy to understand but funny to read, it's something like: Clean me my main for the talk and conversation. Dirty that above. :) I guess you've meant: I've cleaned up my main page for the talk and conversation. ;) Zenanarh (talk) 15:16, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, I was just joking. If you need some help, just ask. BTW "dirty up" is typical English phrase and it's imposible to translate it to Croatian by replacing every Eng word from the phrase by Croatian one. So "nečist ono uvis" sounds more like "something is dirty up there".

dirty = prljav, nečist; to dirty up = isprljati, onečistiti. Your message to other wikipedians: "dirty it up" would be "isprljajte je" or "onečistite je". The same massage only to me (only to one person) would be "isprljaj je" or "onečisti je". In my local Chakavian Croatian dialect it would be "šporkaj je" (šporkajte je). Croatian is much more complex than English. Zenanarh (talk) 00:43, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanx for the barnstar, very easily got that one :)
 * So you're learning Croatian? Taking some classes? Zenanarh (talk) 11:03, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Bible
Buahahahahaaahahaa

bible (biblija)

I like it (To mi se sviđa)

Thanx friend (Hvala prijatelju)

What do you think about sentence after the bible: "...and since you're just a human being, you will surely misinterpret what I say!" :-) Ha? Zenanarh (talk) 12:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Yep "ja" is nominative for "I" or "me". But since we have verbs changing in 7 conjugations, in speech we can leave out personal pronoun in the sentence, because verb conjugation form explains who or what is the bearer of action.

Example: verb -to love- / voljeti (infinitive)

I love it / Ja volim to / Ja to volim (or shorter Volim to)

You love it / Ti voliš to / Ti to voliš (or shorter Voliš to)

He (she) loves it / On (ona) voli to / On (ona) to voli

We love it / Mi volimo to / Mi to volimo (or shorter Volimo to)

You love it / Vi volite to / Vi to volite (or shorter Volite to)

They love it / Oni (one) vole to / Oni (one) to vole (or shorter Vole to)

Verb -to like- is sviđati se (infinitive). This verb is always in passive form in Croatian (that's what se is about, short from sebe(sebi) - self). So I can't say "Ja sviđam to" for "I like it". I must say "Meni se to sviđa" or "To se sviđa meni" - translated from word to word it is "To (it) se sviđa (is liked) meni (by me). And we usually use short mi (to me) instead of meni (to me).

As you can see we don't have problem with word order in sentence, you can start with verb or noun.

To (it) mi (to me/by me) se sviđa (is liked): in English -I like it- Zenanarh (talk) 07:15, 30 April 2009 (UTC)


 * As a kid, I had classes of French in school. It was so complicated with 4 conjugations. I caught myself thinking many times, how only maniacs can learn French. :) I was not aware that I speak 7 of it in my mother language LOL.
 * I think all Slavic languages have 7. Zenanarh (talk) 08:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Maps
Thanks mate. I'm just an amateur, do maps for Wiki articles. Which map did you have trouble understanding ? Hxseek (talk) 00:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, a Haplogroup is basically DNA which has formed a clear pattern in a population, telling us information about where and when it came from. Its been used to add another dimension on discussions about the make up and origins of modern populations, in addition to linguistic, historical and archaeological evidence. Hxseek (talk) 00:26, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

No. A haplogroup is a bit of DNA, basically. Nothing to do with ethnic groups, except that certain ethnic groups carry higher frequencies of certain Hgs Hxseek (talk) 11:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Well Im back after a few months. What is etymology of my username? It's a kind of nothing that only my brain can invent! :) Joking. When I had to define my username I simply added zen to anarchy... it's like when anarcho-punker finds his life peace in zen... It doesn't mean that i'm a buddhist, but I really like those extremely short zen tales/novels from the east. But there is still some kind of free minded punker inside of me :) Although I like to play jazz too ;) You see I'm a musician. Zenanarh (talk) 10:03, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Capota iosif
You recently tagged Capota iosif with multiple maintenance tags, including notenglish and disputed. In the first instance, when you tag an article as not-English, it is helpful to follow the link in that tag to add the article to the list of articles needing translation -- this will speed the process somewhat. In the second instance, since you don't list Romanian among your languages in your Babel box, how can you dispute the content of an article you can't read?

 * First instance - noted. I was unaware there was a list to use. Second instance - in general common sense, it seemed to be one of those small "Hi my name is Peter, I live in Tel Aviv" articles. Jacob S. grafitti 13:45, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * In point of fact, it is an article about a communist resistance leader who was born in 1912. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:47, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * My mistake, I'll be more careful with that. Jacob S. grafitti 13:50, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Note
Hello. I apologise for swamping your talk page with automated messages. I've now put them in a collapsible box. I found an invalid public domain claim on one of your images, checked some of your other images and found more, and had to tag them, per Image use policy. You can't just copy images from sites on the web, give extremely vague source information, and tag them public domain. I'm sure there are more of your uploads that are not public domain but I can't figure out where they come from exactly. Don't be surprised if someone else challenges them, however. • Anakin (talk) 12:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:StClairSign.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:StClairSign.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:14, 18 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. • Anakin (talk) 12:14, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:BirdsEyeHazelPark.png
Thanks for uploading Image:BirdsEyeHazelPark.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. • Anakin (talk) 12:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
