"Specifična futuru prvom jest morfološka promjena koja nastaje u inverziji pomoćnog glagola i infinitiva pa glagoli čiji infinitiv završava s -ti gube dio infinitivnog nastavka:
lice jednina množina
1. radit ću radit ćemo
2. radit ćeš radit ćete
3. radit će radit će
Iako se zadržava u pisanju, krnji se infinitivni nastavak -t ne izgovara. Glagoli čiji infinitivi završavaju na -ći ne prolaze kroz istu promjenu:
lice jednina množina
1. peći ću peći ćemo
2. peći ćeš peći ćete
3. peći će peći će
Promjena se ne događa budući da je teško izgovoriti dva slova "ć" zaredom pa tako slovo "i" ostaje među njima." (Futur prvi, Wikipedia)
Dakle, ne smijemo reći: Odgovarati ću kemiju sutra, nego Odgovarat ću kemiju sutra. Međutim, nećemo napisati Reć ću ti poslije, nego Reći ću ti poslije.

Samo kratko o velikom i malom slovu vezano uz narode
Iz pravopisa:
"Malim se početnim slovom pišu:
odnosni pridjevi na -ski/-ški/-čki izvedeni od osobnih i zemljopisnih imena:
danteovski, elizabetinski, kamijevski, krležijanski, matoševski, šekspirovski
južnoamerički, lički, osječki, sjevernoamerički, slavonskobrodski, španjolski, zagrebački."
Dakle, kada pišemo o pripadnicima nekoga naroda, moramo pisati veliko slovo: Egipćani, Izraelci, Hrvati, Židovi (isto tako Europljani, Skandinavci, Amerikanci itd.), Međutim, kada pišemo o nečemu što se odnosi na te narode, pišemo to malim početnim slovom: egipatski,izraelski, hrvatski, židovski (europski, skandinavski, američki).
"Malim se početnim slovom pišu:
nazivi službenih dužnosti: dekanica, dogradonačelnica, emir, gradonačelnik, kralj, kraljica, ministar, papa, predsjednik, predsjednica, premijer, pročelnik, ravnatelj, rektor, šah, šeik, voditeljica službe, županica."
Therefore, iako se na engleskom faraon i kralj pišu velikim slovom (Pharoah and King), mi takve titule pišemo malim.
Ovo je samo mali dio pravila o velikom i malom početnom slovu. Više ovdje i ovdje.

Budući, budući da, s obzirom, obzirom
Budući i budući da nemaju isto značenje.
Budući znači onaj koji dolazi u budućnosti, idući, naredni.
Budući da znači zato, jer, zato što, zbog toga što, s obzirom na to da.
Dakle, kada prevodimo since, prevest ćemo budući da. Nećemo koristiti pošto, jer je to vremenski veznik (Pošto sam ručao, otišao sam na put).
Kad spominjem s obzirom na, važno je sjetiti se da ne smijemo pisati obzirom na. Također, kada pišemo bez obzira na to što ne smijemo to skratiti na bez obzira što.
Prevodite li, npr., with regard to color, osim s obzirom na boju, možete reći u odnosu na boju; što se tiče boje.
Dobro objašnjenje nalazi se ovdje. :)

Hrvatski jezični portal
Kada prevodim ili ispravljam neki prijevod uvijek mi je na računalu otvorena kartica Hrvatskog jezičnog portala. To je mjesto neizmjerno korisno!
Koristim ga na više načina. Jedan od njih je očigledan, a to je da provjerim postoji li neka riječ u hrvatskom standardnom jeziku.
Također, u prevođenju teoloških knjiga često nailazimo na riječi koje po prvi put čujemo, pa smo ih prisiljeni "izmišljati" (što je nekad sasvim opravdano). Tada je dobro provjeriti postoji li neka slična riječ koja je već dio našega standarda. Pada mi na pamet riječ chiasm koju smo prvi put susreli prevodeći Geseniusa. Ona je nekako prirodno vukla na kijazam. Pregledom te riječi na HJP vidjela sam da ne postoji. Međutim, budući da se ch u nekim jezicima čita h, upisala sam hijazam i vidjela da je to to što tražimo.
HJP je izrazito važan i u traženju sinonima. Na engleskom imamo mnoge rječnike sinonima, ali kod nas toga baš i nema. Zato otvorim riječ na hrvatskom, a u opisu se često nude i druge riječi kojima se to može izraziti.
Ponekad, kada je riječ na engleskom slična hrvatskoj i vuče da je tako prevedem (npr. servility - servilnost) obavezno to potražim na HJP jer se nekad radi o false friends (riječima koje zvuče slično, ali nemaju isto značenje na engleskom i hrvatskom, npr. service - servis (za nešto)). Servilnost ima potpuno drugačije značenje od onoga koje mi je trebalo u tekstu, pa sam odustala od toga prijevoda.
Dakako, na HJP možemo pogledati i deklinacije i konjugacije riječi (pod Izvedenice), tako da ne bismo slučajno napisali nešto kakvo je htjeo i vidjeo, ali i neke manje jasne stvari kao što je genitiv množine nekih riječi. U svakom slučaju, ako nam je nešto imalo sumnjivo, dobro je to provjeriti.
Fora je i etimologija riječi, za one koje to zanima ;)

Ako ne zvuči dobro, vjerojatno nije dobro
Ovo je savjet koji sam davno dobila od kolegice iz Zagreba, koja je bila toliko dobra i ljubazna da je pročitavši moj prijevod sastavila za mene mali popis stvari na koje moram obratiti pažnju, želim li se baviti prevođenjem.
Dakle, ne zvuči li dobro, vjerojatno nije dobro.
Primjer: orchestral hall orkestralni auditorij
Orchestral hall prevesti kao orkestralni auditorij definitivno ne zvuči dobro. Nekad se bojimo ići "predaleko" i oduzeti nešto od autorovih riječi, ali u ovakvim trenucima trebamo biti hrabri i uvjereni da se to mora prevesti onako kako bismo mi to rekli. Dakle, to bi bilo dobro prevesti kao koncertna dvorana (Vatroslav Lisinski:))
Ovo je samo mali primjer, ali može nas ohrabriti da razmislimo bismo li mi neki izraz ikada tako rekli te da se usudimo razmišljati izvan krutih okvira.

Books, Books, Books
Two books left a deep mark on my soul and mind in the last few months: The Prodigal God by Tim Keller and The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Butterfield.
Some of the ideas from The Prodigal God really stayed with me, and I'm thinking about making a little 'speech' out of it for our ladies' Christmas meeting. I hope I'll be able to write it down here when the time comes. I especially cherished the notion that Christianity had always been 'nešto treće' or 'tertium quid' - something third, something entirely different. "To most people in our society, Christianity is religion and moralism. The only alternative to it (besides some other world religion) is pluralistic secularism. But from the beginning it was not so. Christianity was recognized as a tertium quid, something else entirely." ( Tim Keller, The Prodigal God) And it's for both: 'younger' and 'older brothers' of this world.
The Secret Thoughts... is another great book, the kind that you just can't stop highlighting lines in. The lady who wrote it encouraged me so much in many respects. I admire her courage and clear voice, her non people-pleasing descriptions of Christian life and struggles. However, I admire her also for her writing.
She holds a PhD in English. Her "historical field in English studies was 19th century literature and culture." Before her conversion, she was very much like a professor of mine, who also specialized in Victorian, Feminist and Queer studies. I loved Critical Theory and writing papers; in a way it resembled hermeneutics. My knowledge of the Bible gave me a sometimes surprisingly strong and powerful basis for everything I studied in my Literature courses. My final paper was on Victoriana - historiographic metafiction. For that paper I read me some Genette, which was so satisfying. Anyway, what struck me as playful and 'highly textual' was Mrs. Butterfield's use of different genres in her book: the covenant membership vows of the RPC, her address to all graduate students, as well as the entire sermon from her wedding. I'd love to hear her talk about her "weave".
As I said, one cannot stop highlighting in The Secret Thoughts... Here are some of my personal favourites:
"Christians still scare me when they reduce Christianity to a lifestyle and claim that God is on the side of those who attend to the rules of the lifestyle they have invented or claim to find in the Bible."
"When you die to yourself, you have nothing from your past to use as clay out of which to shape your future."
"Faith is not a feeling. Faith rides the waves of the treachery of life on the Christian worldview that you own. Faith and worldview are intimately intertwined." WOW!
I am currently reading I quit by Geri Scazzero, Natasha's Dance by Orlando Figes and The Drowned Vault: The Ashtown Burials#2 by N. D. Wilson. I hope to write more about it soon.

I know I haven't blogged in, like, forever
"I know I haven't blogged in, like, forever", as a fellow Twitteritarian would remark, but here I am. So let's make the most of it.
Family life - going full blast. Jakov 9, Josip soon to be 8, Luka almost 3. School is a much bigger challenge to my kids than it ever was for me, which still surprises me at every turn. Somehow I thought it would be different. But, I concede, this IS better, for He definitely knows what He's doing.
Miro is very busy serving in many ways to our church and town, and studying for his MA in NT Theology. One more week of absence in November and then we part no more. I wish.
I've started reading more and also translating and editing more. Recently I started translating for the HRT (our national radio television station), which was a great boost - for a while there I started doubting my talents, lost in the maze of family micromanagement where, I guess, most of us feel like failures. Some of us and sometimes, at least.
I seldom blog, which made me think about why it is so. I think that my own mental and our family dynamic is overwhelmingly intricate and my mind rarely finds shortcuts in expression, which results in a reluctance to "jot it all down." Therefore, I will try to restrict my writing to reviews of books, whether children's or adult, fiction or non-fiction and random thoughts on varied subjects. Emphasis on random.
Today I edited a scholarly summary on a Croatian Protestant noble family from the 16/17 century. The author is a wonderful American missionary who had spent most of his life in Croatia, and will now get a superb opportunity to give a summary of his work about this family to none other than our President! Soli Deo Gloria!
