Yes, many languages have kino. I think the word is originally german though.

"Godina" is year in Croatian, Bosnian, and Serbian. Hour is "sat". In the dialect of Croatian that my family speaks we also say "ura". Comes from the italian word "hora"

Thanks for clearing that up, it's pretty neat/weird/amazing how languages change stuff as they move away...

Might I ask how you say "Yes" , "No" "Thank you" and "Your Welcome?"

Stjepan, "Kino" is in German the short form of "Kinematograph" (nobody uses Kinomatograph anymore, it's from the 19th century )) and it derived from the Greek genitive form of "kinema" (movement) => "kinematos", and from the Greek word "graphein" (to write).

Yes - Da
No - Ne
Thank you - Hvala
You're welcome - Nema na čemu or molim. Molim has a other uses too, like saying please and literally means more like "I beg" but you say it after someone says hvala to you, like "your welcome" in english.. It's kind of like German bitte.
