It's clear. I wish you were so clear when you posted this question.
Non-ProZ.com Jul 26, 2005:
Native speakers of Croatian It is not a word of standard Croatian, but it IS Croatian. The word was used in a CROATIAN contract in CROATIAN (language). It is a word from the northern Croatian dialec), and many German words or words of German origin ARE used in the Northern part of Croatia (as those of the Turkish origin are used in Bosnia). And as I already said, it is a dialect, not original German, and there is no need whatsoever to change the spelling. Neither placing the question in these pairs nor the spelling was a mistake.
Sherefedin MUSTAFA Jul 19, 2005:
Dear Ana, would you pls be so kind and redefine your quetsion. Thanx.
Ljiljana Malovic Jul 19, 2005:
"kunstof" is NOT a Croatian word. Therefore, this can not be Croatian-English pair.
It should be either Dutch-English or German-English. Kunststof is a Dutch word, meaning: synthetic material, plastic. Therefore, I have edited this language pair.

sintetièki materijal

Mora da je "kunststof" a ne "kunstof".
Kunst = umjetni, sintetièki
stof = materija(l)
Peer comment(s):

agree IVAN-57 : Možda ipak, umjetni umjesto sintetički.

Umjetni takodjer u potpunosti pokriva smisao. Hvala.
