Croatian translation:Bok, jesi li ti gusar? Jesam i zovem se Boro.
Explanation:
You could use pirat instead of gusar, but it's used more in Serbian than Croatian.

25 mins
  -> Hvala, Tamara.
neutral  RINA LINGUISTIC SERVICES, Katarina Radojevic- Mitrovic: i hrvatski se kaze Zdravo, a ne samo Bok, pa ne vidim sto je to vise hrvatski!!!E, to Vi ne znate da li sam i izvorni govornik hrvatskog.
1 hr
  -> Kolegice, budući da niste izvorni govornik ne možete točno prosuditi što je u duhu hrvatskoga jezika.
agree  pike
3 hrs
  -> Hvala, Pike.
agree  Ivan Nekic: eventualno drugi dio: "Ja jesam i zovem se..." Mislim da treba staviti zamjenicu "ja" jer joj je položaj 'naglašen', npr: ako ti nisi, JA jesam...
10 hrs
  -> Ivane, hvala. Drugi dio međutim nije u skladu sa suvremenom hrvatskom slovnicom.
agree  Ana Kardum
10 hrs
  -> Hvala, Ana
agree  Nives: drugi dio treba ili "Ja jesam", a ne samo "Jesam" jer nije pitanje postavljeno samome sebi, a inače ostalo ok.
2 days 3 hrs
  -> Hvala, Nives. Inače isti kometar kao kod Ivana.
agree  Ivan Lajnvas: Isto mislim da bi trebalo JA JESAM, ako to govori ista osoba koja je i postavila pitanje. Ako je to odgovor drugog gusara, onda je potpuno ok.
4 days
  -> Hvala, Ivane. Već iz engleskog izvornika proizlazi da razgovaraju dvije osobe. Inače se potpuno u pravu ako se radi o jednoj osobi.

hi, are you a pirate? i am and my name is boro.
Zdravo, da li si ti gusar (pirat)? Ja jesam i zovem se Boro.


Explanation:
Instead of "gusar", you may use "pirat"...
Also, if it is a dialog, it should be translated as follows: Zdravo, da li si ti gusar (pirat)? -Jesam i zovem se Boro.
