"Here you don't live just to live. Here you don't live just to die. Here you even die to live."

Fuck you, I am famous.

Very interesting.

Thanks a lot!

What's the difference in meaning, respectively are there any differences at all in using the phrases:

- below the stairs
- beneath the stairs
- under the stairs
- underneath the stairs?

Practically there is no difference.
Except that under means something below that is in direct contact with something else.
But read this and ask if something is unclear.

How can I properly translate words "ti" & "taj" into English in the next context:

Ovi - these
oni - those
ti - ?

Ovaj - this
Onaj - that ?
taj - that?

Is it the same word in English for "oni" and "ti"?

Yes just like you have the same word for onaj and taj. I suppose you could have added "te" and translated it as "those".

Hence the words "ti" i "oni" in above context describes only one word in English?

Za nagradu, prevedite vic, ali morate u potpunosti prevesti i značenje i igru sa riječima.

Nešto tipa, on bi želio malu mačku (životinju), a isto bi i ona (vratiti se u prošlost kada joj je "mačka" bila još mlada i nerascvala)

Ne može tako. Fino prevedi, kao da si prevoditelj koji pravi titlove za film.

Ej Billy, neki dan sam rekao svojoj djevojci "Znaš, želim malu mačkicu", ona mi je odgovorila "I ja, moja je velika kao kuća" :)

Ne želi malu "mačkicu", nego traži da mu da malo čkapi!

Eto, zato je nemoguće prevesti.

Are there any differences in using the verbs:
note and notice
or nouns:
inflow and influx?

No difference, except maybe for the first pair where possible meanings do not completely overlap. Note/notice means "primjetiti", but note might also mean "zabilježiti/evidentirati".

Robbie explained the difference between note and notice. Inflow and influx can have very different meanings in common usage and convention. "Inflow" is used to denote a steady, regular, controlled increase (eg. inflow of deposit funds), whilst "influx" is generally used to note an uncontrolled (and unwanted) increase (eg. influx of asylum seekers).

So your point is that:
inflow=dotok (dotok novca)
influx=priljev (priljev izbjeglica)
?

Quite subtle, but apparently it is a common usage if you say so.

In some professions, engineering science for example, both have the same meaning of a flow/flux directed inwards. Both are used in a "positive" (or neutral?) sense, for instance heat flow and luminous flux. Which one is used, is more a matter of tradition.





Flow and flux themselves basically denote what we would say "tok" in Croatian.

Difference between "maybe" and "perhaps"?

Spot on, although I would clarify that "influx" need not always be used in a negative context, but it is almost always used to differentiate between controlled and uncontrolled (or at the very least abnormal) flow.

Exactly the same, but "perhaps" is more formal.

maybe = for oral coversation
perhaps = sounds nicer (/more nice?) for some formal written form, or when you need to use "maybe" multiple times and you don't want to repeat the same word again and again and again

So I got a Q.
Is it correct to say nicer, or more nice?
The rules are strict, but nobody uses for example funnier, but more fun instead.

Definitely "nicer", I can't remember ever hearing "more nice" in common usage.

"Funnier" and "more fun" mean two different things....the equivalent of "funnier" would be "more humorous".

So
funnier = humorističnije
more fun = zabavnije
