| English-to-Croatian Dictionary (main body, pp. 1–464): Around 30,000–35,000 headwords in English, alphabetically arranged, with Croatian equivalents in Latin script (standard for modern Croatian). Entries provide: Primary translations, variant forms (e.g., accounting for Štokavian/Ijekavian dialects), parts of speech, plurals/genders, and usage notes (e.g., "apple" = jabuka (f.), with examples like crvena jabuka "red apple").Extensive coverage of idioms, phrasal verbs, and cultural terms (e.g., nautical vocabulary reflecting Croatia's Adriatic heritage; terms from literature like those in works by Miroslav Krleža).Updates in this edition include contemporary Croatian neologisms (e.g., tech terms like racunalo for "computer") and distinctions from Serbian influences post-1991 independence.Appendices (~67 pages):A concise English grammar overview tailored for Croatian speakers (covering tenses, articles, prepositions—contrasting with Croatian's lack of articles).Foreign words/phrases (Latin, French, German loanwords common in Croatian).Christian names (bilingual lists, e.g., John = Ivan or Jovan).Irregular verbs, abbreviations (British/American English), geographical names (e.g., Croatian cities with historical variants), and errata/addenda from earlier editions.Pronunciation guide using simple diacritics (c, š, ž) and stress marks. |
