Croatian 101: Vegetable translation cheat sheet

One of the easiest places to start when learning a new language is food.

We’ve created a handy povrće (vegetable) cheat sheet with both the English and Croatian translations. If there is a difference in the Dalmatian dialect, we’ve included that too.

Take this cheat sheet on your next visit to the market and learn Croatian with us. If you need a fruit translation cheat sheet, jump over to this post.

Vegetable Croatian translation cheat sheet

 

There are some vegetables for which we could not find a pretty icon. That didn’t seem like enough of a reason to leave them out, so we’ve listed their translations below:

  • beans – grah
  • broad bean – bob
  • celery root – celer, Dalmatian: selen
  • chickpea – slanutak
  • corn salad (lamb’s lettuce) – matovilac
  • horseradish – hren
  • kale – kelj
  • radicchio – radič
