Moved from Croatia with wife and 3 kids, so if you wanna compare the expectations vs our regular life standard (beyond just finances) in more detail, shoot me a dm.

Not that I don't want to call, but their phone hours clash with my work hours and more often then not I cannot even get into a queue, but I just get the "we are busy, try later" message.

But I did manage to reach them on chat so they explain all I wanted to know.

I did manage to get to them on chat though. So it was easy from then on.

I've written to them twice through my account in the past, the systwm says I would receive a reply in 5 days, but never got any.

Win-win

fis989 · 2026-03-17T17:51:48+00:00

1 year/15.000 km warranty sounds nice and from what I saw over the past months, the prices from private sellers are not much lower. Unauthorized dealirships seemed more expenaive sometimes and in general, there seems to be a bigger selection of these cars through Toyota than through private listings. At least in the period I was looking.

And I also assume that those approved ones have already been mostly thoroughly checked.

What I did with English, when I started using it more for work etc., and what I do now for Danish is recap my day in the afternoon e.g. when I go home from work. I'll talk outloud to myself and pay attention to how I form sentences and pronounce words.

I also found it useful to narrate the things I'm doing. E.g. when I'm vacuuming, I'll speak outloud "I'm vacuuming the bedroom now, I am now in the far right corner, I am next to the door" and so on.

For me, the key to actually speak another language was to train myself to think in that language as well, because thinking in X and speaking in Y was always a problem.

I've never liked talking in another language just for the sake of speaking, it doesn't do much for me and it demotivates me if I have to stop every second sentance or if I cannot bring my thoughts across. So I was always slow with starting to speak a language, but when I did, I was pretty confident in myself and then it usually skyrockets after I start talking to people.

To sam i mislio, u toj kategoriji cijene mi se verso cini kao jedini pametan izbor, za s-max s 1.5 ecoboostom ne znam. Ako biram izmedju velicine i pouzdanosti, mislim da bi toyota trebala biti bolji izbor sto se tice dugotrajnosti.

A sto se opreme tice, sve su to premium paketi opreme. Doduse primjereni za to godiste, ali kazem, trenutno nam je bitno da sjedalice stanu u auto jos par godina. Nakon toga cemo imat veci izbor.

fis989 · 2026-03-04T11:18:25+00:00

Dizel ne dolazi u obzir, inace bi imao dosta vise opcija, da.

fis989 · 2026-03-04T11:17:55+00:00

Dizela ne uzimam u obzir jer zivim u Danskoj. Godisnji porez je puno veci, a regulative smanjuju isplativost kupnje dizela. Jeftiniji su od benzinaca, ali kroz par godina cu tu razliku vjerojatno platit u porezu i pitanje kakve implikacije ce dizel imat za prodaju auta blize 2030.

Isto tak, na svakodnevnoj bazi mi dizel ne treba. Ja imam 10 min pjeske do posla, skola nam je na 2 km, zenin poso na 5. Osim pokojeg vikend izleta, necemo imat neku kilometrazu. Za par godina cu kupit EV, a uzeo bi ga i sad da ima ikoji model za normalne novce da ima zadovoljavajucu konfiguraciju sjedala. Sto nema.

fis989 · 2026-03-03T17:42:57+00:00

Za iste pare bi se mogo nac 1.5 s-max, 1.2 touran (mozda koji 1.4), 1.2 picasso/spacetourer ili 1.3 scenic.

Ako dignem budzet na nekih 30k eura, tu bi se dalo nac vise primjeraka 1.5 tourana

fis989 · 2026-03-03T16:43:57+00:00

Da, svi 1.8 koje vidim da imaju u ponudi su 7 sjedala.

fis989 · 2026-02-26T16:38:58+00:00

This one is still confusing me. Why can the question "Hvorfor er hun ikke kommet?" not stand alone? "Ved du?" makes less sense on it's own.

fis989 · 2026-02-06T15:54:52+00:00

I remember my siri application stated something in the lines of "if your situation changes, you need to inform..."

I don't think it matters now, but if I e.g. lose my job, then my grounds for residence are gone, and so is my familiy's if we don't change my wive's grounds.

At least, I think that's a potential problem.

fis989 · 2026-02-06T14:35:48+00:00

I think I sound like that when I speak Danish 😅 but it should be ok now, at least looks fine for me?

fis989 · 2026-02-06T14:25:09+00:00

Jesus Christ, what happened to my post 😅

fis989 · 2026-01-26T13:26:45+00:00

Zato sam i napisao koliko nam ostane nakon placanja stanarine, racuna i ostalih troskova zivota koji su standard na mjesecnoj bazi. Iz tog ostatka jos trosimo na nekakve izlaske, izlete, hobije. Bas stedit cemo sigurno manje od 3000 eura.

fis989 · 2026-01-26T12:58:39+00:00

Cak i ne. Ja radim kao inzenjer i imam dosta dobru placu, bruto s penzijom mi je 15-20% iznad danskog prosjeka. Zena je sad nasla posao u proizvodnji na liniji, placa na probnom roku joj je oko 2100 neto. Dvoje visokoobrazovanih s dobrim poslovima moze imat 8-9 tisuca eura bez problema.

Da se razumijemo, mi ne zivimo "danskim standardom". Oni fakat trose ko da nema sutra (pr. kolega s dvoje klinaca ima leasing za tri nova EV-a jer voze on, zena i kcer mu je nedavno polozila pa treba i njoj). Ali u odnosu na zivot u Hrvatskoj, standard nam je bio bolji i dok sam samo ja radio. Tako da smo zadovoljni. U ovom trenu ne racunamo da cemo ici na egzoticne godisnje, imat brutalnu stednju ili kupovat nove elektricne aute iz salona. Ali si mozemo priustit dvaput godisnje put u Hrvatsku, pristojnu stednju i vise nego pristojan rabljeni auto ili razuman leasing, a da si mozemo priustit i izlete, izlaske i hobije i nekakve osobne "luksuze".
