How to pronounce
Hi, I need to know whether I am pronouncing some Croatian phrases correctly. They are just basic stuff such as "Sorry I do not understand" , "Can you speak English" and "Where is the toilet". I am not a gold member so anyone who have knowledge on the Croatian language, please help me! Thank you!

Language pair: Croatian; Malay (Bahasa Malaysia)

Re:How to pronounce
Here are the translations that you requested. I also included a few other words and phrases that might be useful. Can I ask, are you planning on visiting Croatia? If so I can give you some travel/tourist related phrases or direct you to a phrase book... I hope this helps.

Sorry, I do not understand = Oprostite, Ne razumijem
(pronounced: oh-pro-sti-teh, neh rah-zume-ee-yem)

Do you speak English = Govorite li Engleski?
(pronounced: go-vor-eat-eh lee eng-les-key)

Where is the bathroom/toilet = Gdje je kupaonica OR Gdje je WC
(pronounced: gud-yah yeh kuh-pow-nee-tsay / gud-yah yeh vey-say)


Some other things you should know:
----------------------------

Yes = Da (dah)
No = Ne (neh)
Thank you = Hvala (hvah-lah)
Please = Molim (moh-leem)
Sorry/Excuse me = Oprosti / Oprostite (oh-pro-stee / oh-pro-sti-teh)
Good Morning = Dobro jutro (doh-bro you-tro)
Good Day = Dobar dan (doh-bar dahon)
Good Evening = Dobra večer (doh-bar vecher)
Good Night (Going to bed) = Laku noć (la-ku noch)
Goodbye = Do viđenja (doh vee-jeh-nyah)
Goodbye (DUBROVNIK) = Adio (ah-dee-oh)
Thank you very much = Hvala lijepa (hvah-lah lyep-ah)
You're welcome = Nema na čemu. (neh-mah nah cheh-moo)
How are you? = Kako ste? (kah-koh steh)
Good /Fine = Dobro (doh-bro)
Excellent = Odlično (ohd-leech-no)
What is your name? = Kako se zoveš? (kah-koh seh zoh-vesh)
I am <your name>= Ja sam <your name> yah sahm <your name>)
Pleased to meet you = Drago mi je (drah-goh mee yeh)


That should help you get by. If you have any other specific translation questions let me know. I am still learning but its good practice for me.

All the best,
-Cam W
