Yeah, although tbh it's kinda too specific in time and sounds strange with наверно/if you weren't really drunk. I'd use "I was drunk" (я был пьяный) or the Russian not-really-pluperfect "Я был выпивший" (or even Я был выпивши, even more colloquial and maybe ungrammatical to some). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I think you were definitely drunk then, tarvos :)
rdearman - Perhaps you could extend the fairytale challenge into April so that more people can give it a go? Expugnator was writing a fable in Georgian as well but I don't think he has finished it and he's on holiday now. And congratulations on the job offer :) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Kada bih slikala neki krajolik, kakav bi on bio?
Ja uopće ne mogu slikati. Da bih ipak imala taj talent slikala bih sliku Bledskog jezera. Imam sliku tog jezera kao tapetu za moje računalo. Svaki dan je gledam kada upalim računalo i bez obzira na to što sam tužna ili ljuta, ta slika me uvijek razvedri. Fotografirala sam to mjesto prije četiri godine kada sam prvi put bila u Sloveniji. Putovala sam u Italiju s mojim dečkom i posjetili smo grad Trsta. Premda je Trst službeno talijanski grad nije daleko od slovenske granice. Dakle, dečko mi je preporučio da idemo na izlet u Bledsko jezero. Nije znao da sam htjela cijeli život ići u to jezero, a zbog toga sam bila oduševljena tim prijedlogom. Putovali smo vlakom iz Trsta do Gorizie. Gorizia je mali talijanski grad blizu granice. Znali smo da je moguće hodati odavde do grada Nove Gorice koji se nalazi na suprotnoj strani granice u Sloveniji, ali nismo imali plan grada. Da objasnim, Nova Gorica je novi grad, izgrađen 1948.godine kada je Pariski Mirovni Ugovor uspostavio novu granicu između Jugoslavije i Italije. Grad Gorizia je odtada pripadala Italiji premda su i mnogi Slovenci živjeli u području. Zbog toga su Slovenci izgradili novi grad za sebe, koji su zvali Nova Gorica. Potražili smo turistički ured i kupili kartu. Pretpostavili smo da ta mora pokazati put do Slovenije. Na žalost kada smo je otvorili odmah smo vidjeli da se Slovenija nigdje ne pojavi. Ni granica nije bila na karti. Da nismo već znali da se Slovenija nalazi par kilometara od centra Gorizie nikada je ne bismo pronašli. Odlučili smo hodati prema sjeveru da vidimo možemo li pronaći Sloveniju. Uspjeli smo, ali kada smo stigli u Novu Goricu nismo mogli vidjeti želježnički kolodvor. Kada smo prešli preko granice vidjeli smo neku želježničku prugu, pa smo je pratili. Primijetili smo neku staru zgradu blizu pruge i pitali smo se da li je to želježnički kolodvor. Nije izgledao dobro.. izgledado je kao da ne radi... ali to nam je bio prvi put u bivšoj Jugoslaviji, pa nismo znali što da očekivamo. Vidjeli smo muškarca koji je radio napolje pored pruge i moj dečko je odlučio da ga pita gdje je želježnički kolodvor. Naravno nismo govorili slovenski (i tada nisam ni počela učiti hrvatski), ali smo prije nekoliko tjedana bili u Ukrajini i zbog toga smo učili malo ruski. Govorili smo muškarcu na ruskom i on je bio vrlo zbunjen. Bilo nam je uskoro jasno da ne govori ruski. Sada mi se čini smješno to što smo automatski pretpostavili da moraju svi koji žive u bivšoj komuništičkoj zemlji govoriti ruski, ali smo to tada iskreno vjerovali. Srećnom, ovaj muškarac je dobro govorio talijanski i objasnio nam je na tom jeziku kako doći u kolodvor. Stara zgrada koju smo vidjeli nije bila kolodvor, nego staro skladište. Vlak između Nove Gorice i jezera bio je malo star, ali ipak udoban. Nakon sat vremena smo stigli u kolodvor Bledskog jezera i imala sam prvi pogled na jezero. Očekivala sam da će biti lijepo. Zbog toga sam već godinama htjela da dolazim ovamo. Ali nisam očekivala da će biti toliko divno koliko zapravo jest. Jezero je bilo nevjerojatno plavo i kada sam pogledala planine bilo je lako zamisliti da sam zapravo u Svičarskoj. Odmah sam se zaljubila u Sloveniju. Tokom dana smo šetali oko jezera dva puta. Nakon toga sam bila totalno iscrpljena i dočekala me je još tri sata vožnje natrag do Trsta, ali sam bila sigurna da je vrijedilo. Izlet u Bledsko jezero bio mi je jedan od najsrećnijih dana u životu i znam da ću ga se zauvijek sjećati.

Two people have corrected my text already - I love Lang-8 :)
That looks like a lot of corrections but I don't think it was too bad; I didn't spend much time correcting the text after I'd written it, unlike my fairy tale. What can I learn... 1) Two people have told me now that I shouldn't use a comma before pa. I'm slightly confused, because I'm sure I'd read in one of my textbooks that pa was a conjunction which needed to be proceeded by a comma. I need to go back and look it up. 2) There are no limits to the number of times and ways in which I can misspell Švicarska. I think I just need to stop talking about it. 3) I was trying to say that I had the photo as the wallpaper on my computer, but I think the correction of čuvar zaslona actually means screensaver. To me there's a difference between the background wallpaper on my computer (which is Lake Bled) and the screensaver (which is Plitvice) but I guess it doesn't really matter. I've learned a new word at least :) 4) For some reason I got terribly confused about u and na. As one of the correctors pointed out, "ići u jezero" implies you're going into the water so it should be "ići na jezero" if you just wanted to say that you're going to the lake. I'm frustrated as I did know that and shouldn't have got it wrong. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

My Windows is currently in Serbian and it uses pozadina radne površine for wallpaper. I'm not sure if the Croatian version used the same translation but I think it was something with a similar logic, at least. Don't know about BCSM, but in Russian the word for wallpaper is more colloquial, and it can also be used to mean a background pattern for a site/blog/social network page, so the official term is "desktop background", where desktop refers to the default screen you get when you switch on your computer.
BTW I use Vistalizator to change the language :) And Vista was just the first version it supported, haha. Works fine on my Windows 7. With Switzerland, it kinda helps if you think of the German word, I suppose? Although it's easy for me to say, in Russian the consonants are the same (Швейцария). Or simply keeping the cyrillic spelling in mind might help? 2 persons have voted this message useful |
