I have to use the word 'VISORAVAN' somewhere in my 'work'. This word is from my native language fund but it is very important to me to know what associations this word can to induce in people who speak English as native and what meaning you can see in this word from your point of view.

[Sorry if my written English language is not so correct].

I would assume from the context that it was a place. Other than that it meant nothing to me until a minute ago when I searched online for it and discovered it's a Serbo-Croation noun.

Thanks for quick answer!!
Yes it is Serbo-Croation noun but Macedonian noun too.
You said: '... Other than that it meant nothing to me...'. It is good for me.
If that word no lead to negative associations at English people it will be good.

What other think?
Oother sense?
