The translation is over now, I handled it to the agency, but I still cannot rest unless I find the meaning of this word \"zavrak\".
It was given in a context like: She has become very \"zavrak\". I suspect it is Serbian, but you never know.
Any sugestion will be welcome 
Greetings Monika

Try posting it under the Turkish English pair.
From what I\'ve seen on Google it seems to be Turkish.

\"Zavtrak\" is Russian for \"breakfast\". As you can see there is an extra T.

Hello
I asked an albanian speaking person, according to this person (he knows some French)
- très vivante (qui bouge trop)
= sehr lebhaft (z. B. ein Kind, das sehr lebhaft ist)
Best regards
Kurt

Zavtrak is Russian for breakfast all right, however I can\'t imagine the situation when you can say \"She has become very \"zavtrak\", unless it is said about somebody who is going to be eaten

I still don\'t know the exact meaning of it, but with your help I will get there. At least now I have a certain security I was not wrong in what I used as a translation for that word.And Kurt, this Albanian guy you asked: is he from Albania or from Kosovo? (there is a big chance that this word is a Serbian word and Albanians of Kosovo use some Serbian or Serbo-Croatian words sometimes, he might know if for sure what it means)

I asked as well a serbo-bosnian person, here is her answer:
\"this word doesn\'t have any meaning in our language\".
The albanian person told me that it was an albanian word when I asked him, that it was not a serbian word. He told me that he comes from Ferizaj [Urosevac in Serbian], Kosovo.
\"Urosevac/Ferizaj municipality consists of some 87 towns, villages and hamlets situated around the main town of Urosevac/Ferizaj.\"

He made a reference to his son, he told me that his son is as well \"zavrak\" \"vivant\" \"qui bouge trop\" [\"agité\" \"vivace\" \"bugeotte\"] this latter three are my own interpretation into French from what he said and his gestures. The term might express what you call \"ein hyperaktives Kind\" \"Hyperaktivität eines Kindes\". He told me that any albanian speaking person of Kosovo would understand this word. Was your text from Kosovo or from Albania?
314 Hyperkinetisches Syndrom des Kindesalters. „Störungen, deren wesentliche Merkmale kurze Aufmerksamkeitsspanne und erhöhte Ablenkbarkeit sind. In der frühen Kindheit ist das auffallendste Symptom eine ungehemmte, wenig organisierte und schlecht gesteuerte, extreme Überaktivität, an deren Stelle aber in der Adoleszenz Hypoaktivität treten kann, Impulsivität, ausgeprägte Stimmungsschwankungen und Aggressivität sind ebenfalls häufige Symptome. Oft bestehen Verzögerungen in der Entwicklung bestimmter Fähigkeiten sowie gestörte und eingeschränkte zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Wenn die Hyperaktivität symptomatisch für eine Grundkrankheit ist, sollte diese letztere verschlüsselt werden“ (S. 85). Es werden verschiedene Typen beschrieben:

I asked as well a Polish and Turkish person before I asked the Albanian person and they told me that the word (zavrak] didn\'t mean anything to them.

Attention Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD)
A neurological problem in children characterized by trouble paying attention and controlling their behavior.

ATTENTION DEFICIT/ HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD)
ADHD is usually first diagnosed during the elementary school years. In some cases, symptoms continue into adolescence. A teenager with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder has problems with paying attention and concentration and/or with hyperactive and impulsive behavior. Despite good intentions, a teenager may be unable to listen well, organize work, and follow directions. Cooperating in sports and games may be difficult. Acting before thinking can cause problems with parents, teachers, and friends. These teens may be restless, fidgety, and unable to sit still.
Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder occurs more commonly in boys and symptoms are always present before the age of seven. Problems related to ADHD appear in multiple areas of a youngster’s life and can be very upsetting to the teen, his/her family, and people at school. Symptoms of ADHD frequently become less severe during the late teen years and in young adulthood.

I read very carefully what you wrote and couldn\'t agree more with your explanation.
The links you provided are very useful.
Albanian of Albania is a bit different from Kosovo -Albanian, and this word was one of those difficult to translate- words that make you wonder if you really know the language ! ( which is very funny because at the end is the same language!).
Anyway, thanks for your help. I appreciate.
Greetings Monika

Hello
I found the question interesting that\'s why I tried to make some further investigation. Note that I know neither Albanian nor any slavic language. The word might as well stem from a macedonian dialect (near to bulgarian) or some aborigine language (older than albanian and any slavic languages).
I cite:

compare as well the word zagarka, zagar \"Jagdhund\", ostbulg. zagàr, \"dass.\", skr. zàgar \"Windhund\". Ein sehr problematisches Wort, dessen Herkunft noch nicht bekannt ist. Die Formen mit za-, die es nur bei den Südslawen und den ihnen benachbarten Völkern gibt (die von Machek angeführten ähnlichen bask. u. sard. Formen berücksichtige ich, weil unsicher, nicht), gr zagari, alb zagàr, türk.-osm. zagar, sind augenscheinlich sekundär und, wie ich glaube, von den Slaven volksetym. umgestaltet aus ogar, welches bei den West- u. Ostslaven üblich und bei den Serben noch vorhanden ist...

conclusion: do vraga --> za vraga ---> za vrag ---> zavrag ---> zavrak --> she became more and more a little devil ... (etymological hypothetical interpretation...)

| Macedonian is a language | Mar 24, 2003 |
Dear Kurt
Macedonian is the official language of Republic of Macedonia and prevoiusly one of the three official languages of SFR Yugoslavia. It is my native language and a language in which I translate from Serbian and English.
Now you know that it is a language with many dialects - Shtip, Strumica, Skopje, Kumanovo dialects etc.) If you want to know more about this please do not hesitate to contact me.

Currently, at Dişliköy, both hıyar and salatalık are used to refer to cucumbers.
I came across this site whilst searching via Google, the meaning of zavrak.
