Hi, I need a simple translation English-Serbian for a MOVIE!
Hello!
I'm a movie producer/actor /writer currently living and working in New York, US and I'm on the early pre-production of a feature lenght film. One of the characters in the film is from YUGOSLAVIA and I need him to talk in Serbo-Croatian to his mother on the phone. It's a very simple conversation, and he learns his Mom's boyfriend had been shot. Anyhow I'd like to translate this:
-"Hi Mom, how are you doing? I'm all right... what? What happened? He was shot! ... Oh my God, that's terrible. Time to move on Mom... I talk to you later. Love you too. Bye."
That's it, and if possible I'd like to get the way each word is pronounced.
Regards

Hi,
I'll gladly help you. Some of the words in dialogue could be translated in many different ways; it depends on level of formality in conversation.
Translation:
- "Hi Mom, how are you doing? I'm all right... " - "Æao, mama, kako si? Ja sam OK."
- "what? What happened? He was shot!" ... "Šta? Šta se dešava? On je ubijen!"...
- "Oh my God, that's terrible. Time to move on Mom " ..." Oh moj Bože, pa to je strašno. Vreme je da se krene Mama"...
- "I talk to you later. Love you too. Bye." ... "Prièacemo kasnije. I ja tebe volim. Æao."
Word - "Æao" ("Hello") is of Italian origin, but it's completely adopted in everyday language; the other word for "Hello" is "Zdravo", but it sounds more formal than "Æao".
- Also english expression "OK" is adopted in everyday use; the other translation of the same sentence is - "Ja sam u redu" (also more formal)
all the best, D
