Serbo-Croat term or phrase: zamisliti se
Radi se o scenariju. Opis scene.

"John se zamisli." dalje ide dijalog.

(it) makes (John) think/wonder; (for a moment John) became lost/absorbed/wrapped in thought
Explanation:
jos jedna mogucnost (ne moze da stane u rubriku)

Jon started brooding over (it)/pondering
John to give it some thought

itd.

Ako se radi o dijalogu i neko je nesto rekao (prije nego sto se John zamislio)sto je Johna navelo da se zamisli, onda mislim da bi najbolje odgovaralo jedno od ponudjenih rjesenja.

Iz navedenog primjera mi se ne cini da je John odjednom zapao u neke duboke misli vec da se za trenutak zamislio i nastavio dalje da prica.
Vjerovatno je ta prethodna recenica navela Dzona da se zamisli:
It makes John think/wonder.



Mislim da je to to. Najbolje je koristiti prezent - naravno ako se uklapa u kontekst.

Hvala svima, ali mislim da mi ovih nekoliko varijanti najvise odgovara. Komplikovano je, jer Dzon nije zamisljen, vec se u trenutku zamisli. Nisam siguran da cu uspeti bas identicno da prevedem, ali cu uz Ljiljaninu pomoc pokusati.
