Croatian term or phrase: tvoj
like goodbye or yours sincerely
lone
your
Explanation:
This is neither English nor Danish. When written in the Roman alphabet as 'tvoj' it means 'your' in Bosnian and Croatian. When written in the Cyrillic alphabet it means 'your' in Russian and Serbian (and several other Slavic languages). Either way, it's one of the Slavic languages and the actual meaning is 'your'. HTH.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for helping me. As I understand you, tvoj means a farewell greeting in for examble letters? Well, a kind and personal greeting and there is no other meaning - like i love you or dearest? - lone

  -> So, in this case, it would probably be something like "yours (truly).." at the end of a letter. Hvala for the "agree" and welcome to ProZ.
