Fast course of Croatian language

I think it's really nice if you come in some other country, to know a little bit of native language of that country. So the main goal of this post is that you learn some Croatian sentences that you will probably need if you want to ask somebody for some bar, market, statue, etc. So lets start .. :) 

Dobro jutro!    --> (meaning)    Good morning!

Dobar dan!       -->         Good day!        

Dobra večer!     -->         Good evening!


Kako si?           -->          How are you?


Ja se zovem Mate. -->     My name  is Mate.


Hvala!                -->        Thank you!


Bok!                  -->        Bye!


Dobar tek.          -->      Bon apettit! :)


Gdje se nalazi Dioklecijanova palača? --> Where can I find Diocletian's palace?


Gdje se nalazi Riva?   -->  Where can I find Riva? etc.


Cura.            -->              Girlfriend.


Dečko.          -->              Boyfriend.



So these are some of the sentences/words yoe will probably need while you are in Croatia, if you want to know more, please leave a comment and I'll answer you ASAP. ;)

Shortly about Split

Split is second biggest city in Croatia, right after the capital of Croatia, Zagreb. It is also the biggest city in Dalmatia with more than 250 000 inhabitants. The center of the city is well known for Diocletian's palace, the construction from 4th century, which is under UNESCO.

Name

The city draws its name from the spiny broom (calicotome spinosa; brnistra or žuka in modern Croatian), a common shrub in the area, after which the Greek colony of Aspálathos or Spálathos, from which the city originates, was named. As the city became a Roman possession, the Latin name became "Spalatum", which in the Middle Ages evolved into "Spalatro" in the Dalmatian language of the city's Romance population. The  version became "Split", while the Italian version was "Spalato". During a period in the early 19th century the name was "Spljet", and finally "Split" once more.

Climate

Split has a Mediterranean climate . It has hot, relatively dry summers and mild, wet winters (however, winters can sometimes feel cold, because of the north wind called "Bura" and its windchill factor - for example, if the air temperature is 5 °C (41 °F) and strong bura is blowing, it feels like -10 °C (14 °F).

Snow is very rare in Split

Economy

Split's economy is still suffering the backlash from there cession caused by the transfer to a market economy and privatization. In the Yugoslav era, however, the city had been a highly significant economic centre with a modern and diverse industrial and economic base and paper industry, in addition to a large revenues from tourism. In 1981 Split's GDP per capita was 137% of the Yugoslav average. Today, most of the factories are out of business (or are far below pre-war production and employment capacity) and the city has been trying to concentrate on commerce and services, consequently leaving an alarmingly large number of factory workers unemployed.

Music

One of the most recognisable aspects of Split culture is popular music. In my opinion most notable musicians are Oliver Dragojević, Daleka Obala, Magazin, Severina, Gibonni etc.

Education

The University of Split (Croatian: Sveučilište u Splitu) was founded in 1974. In the last few years it has grown to a big extent. Now it has 26,000 students and is organized in 12 faculties. Currently the new campus is being built, and it will be finished sometime in 2012. It will house all of the faculties, a large student centre with a sports hall, sporting grounds and a university library.

That was a short introduction to the one of the most beautiful cities not only in Croatia but in whole world. Hope you like it! :)
