...O svecima znamo jako malo, a o andje lima tek neznatno vise. Tako ni o stvarnoj prirodi svetoga Ilije Gromovnika, opunomocenog zastitnika Bosne, ne znamo uglavnom nista, ali mozda su nas svete price i zemaljske predaje prevarile i mozda je taj Ilija bio na sliku i priliku Ilije Ladina.

THE SAINT

uloge: Val Kilmer, Elisabeth Shue, Rade Šerbedžija, Valeri Nikolayev, Henry Goodman, Alun Armstrong, Michael Byrne, Yevgeni Lazarev, Irina Apeximova, Lucija Šerbedžija...

agree Said Kaljanac a.k.a. SARAJ : ok, but we should bear in mind that sometimes "the" in English means "this" or "that", depending on the context, thus could be translated as "taj", "ovaj", "onaj"...

agree Mura : I also agree with Saraj. Depending on the context you might need to translate "the" as "this" or "that" svetac.

agree A.Đapo : I agree with Saraj, articles can be very important in translations
