Explanation:
I believe this means 'very good' in Serbo-Croatian. However, if you want a better answer, why not post it again in the relevant language combination.

"Very well" - Serbian, Croatian


Explanation:
I would select the adverb "well" rather than "good," guessing that (without seeing context) the usage is adverbial (although it could be a short-form adjective for a neuter noun). There are a number of good dictionaries available on www.yourdictionary.com - a good way to chase this sort of translation down would be to do a Google search on the phrase, then try to determine which country the prevailing representative web pages originate from. The first few in my Google search were from Hungary, but for the most part, a large number hailed from the .yu domains. Best of luck, and I hope this helped.
