"We did it," Ivan likes to say when we finish something, like put groceries away, or successfully open something.
"This gozings here, this gozings here...," he says instead of instead "this goes."
"That one don't works-ing," when something is faulty.
"I suck" instead of I'm stuck.
"I grope it" or "that groped," he says for something that's tangled or knotted. "Grope" is his Cro-english which comes from the zagropati in Croatian.

Today during dinner, his fork somehow became "fire." Then he decided that "fire broken." "Fix it." "Fire needs batteries."
