I must say that first part (\"I was born...) of the sentence should be translated as: \"Roðen sam ....u dobroj porodici\"
I tu sam siguran dragi kolege....
Ali kako rekoh ovaj put najbolje bi bilo da bodovi idu Mini.

: "moj JE ... koji se JE ..." ; oprostite, da li ponavljanje glagola "biti" je neophodno? Ne cini li vam se da je suvise? :)

: I do agree with the translation except for the word "doduse" which has several meanings such as "in fact, actually, indeed, to be honest etc. (depending on the context)" I wouldn't use that term in this case. Rather : "premda","mada" or "iako". :)
