Google translate unhelpfully suggests it's "infidelity" (Nevjera, not even the same word!), so thank you for clearing that up.

I'm always frustrated (and I'm not even a native Croatian speaker) that automotive journalists often pronounce the company name "Reemack".

Nevera can also be a variant for nevjera in the ekavian* dialect, eg. serbian language would use it (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nevera#Serbo-Croatian). Although the stress is different (/něʋera/ vs /něʋeːra/).

(*) dialects on wikipedia:

One of the provided examples has variations of the word "vjera" meaning faith in each dialect, ne-vjera is basically non-faith.

> faith věra vera vira vjera
