I bet (or hope) there's an extremely simple answer for this, but "htjeti" is both "to want" and the auxiliary for future tense, right? So if I were to ask someone "hoćeš li ti " how would they know if I was asking them if they wanted to do something, or if they were going to? :\

"Are you going to Disneyland?"
I'm not sure context is enough.

It seems strange though, since there's a rather important distinction between planning to do something and wanting to do something! Though maybe they're not that different in practical terms.

I'm just thinking of phrases I might say in Russian in this... "context". hopefully some natives will show up!

but now I'm thinking strictly russian. since the phrase looked familiar I thought the grammar might be - but there you go ;)). oops

Xe probably should have said:
Do you want to go to Disneyland?
Are you going to go to Disneyland?
Unless, of course, the same ambiguities exist in Croatian, then everything I just wrote probably doesn't make sense. I think?
