No dobro, kako bi mi to preveli? :)
Na njemaččkom je "slatko ili slano", možda i kod nas to vrijedi?

Maškare!
Explanation:
Tu nema doslovnog prijevoda, nego je to poklič djece kada dođu na vrata za vrijeme Halloweena - a to je kod nas "Maškare"!

Explanation:
vezano uz noć vještica, nekad se vjerovalo da će duhovi itd. ako im se ne ostavi pred vratima na noć vještica nekakva nagrada (kolač, meso...) napraviti nešto loše
otuda i gore navedeni uzvik
