"upravo" - "properly"?

What else could it be alternatively? :-/

I'm wondering about the verb tenses - why would you have past perfect tense in the first part and simple present in the last part? My suggestion:

All of the kittens have already fallen asleep side by side embracing each other. The sweetest of them stayed awake - it is properly reading this good night message.

I think I agree with zakeralo - "properly" doesn't sound right here. But I don't know Bosnian, so I can't make an alternative suggestion.

Bosnian doesn't have 'present perfect tense'.They were all past tenses except for the last one.It's unknown whether the cat does this every time or not.So,i couldn't decide which one to use in the last part,continuous or simple present Now I'll edit it as you've suggested.Instead of 'properly',there's 'just','timely','plunk','right' in the dictionary :-/

I think,'just' is alright if we make it continuous.

"just" might be OK, or what about "right now"?

In English, the past perfect tense (had fallen) is used for something that happened before another thing: "The kittens had already fallen asleep when I turned off the light." The present perfect tense is used in a case like the one above.

As for the tense for the kitten reading the message, from the context this is just once, not every night.

zakeralo, do you think this translation is correct now?

Yes,I thought the first thing happened earlier.Just because they were 'both' past tenses,I made the first one 'past perfect'.As for the last sentence,if it were 'upravo sada',it'd be 'right now'.'Sada' means 'now'.Should I change it,anyway?

How about "just now"? If you use "just" by itself, it means "only".

Just to clarify, the past perfect tense is not used for something that happened earlier - it's only used to compare two things that happened in the past, when one happened before the other.

Alternatively, can you give me a list of possible meanings of "upravo"? That way I could pick one that would work in this translation.

-just,-properly,-timely,-plunk,-right.

*upravo sada:just now
*upravo tako:just like that,just so

Also,there's an adjective 'pravi' and it means 'real,proper,true,thorough'.

upravo -in this moment,just now

It's correct now! Thanks

i agree, it is correct now sorry for the late answer

Ah - it looks like jp accepted it before I had a chance to - I don't know why, but it's fine with me.
