Home versus house
dom is home — the warm word, where kuća is the building: Poslije puta, najljepše je doći u svoj dom. Starački dom is a retirement home; dom zdravlja a health centre.
When things break
pokvaren is broken, out of order (and, of people, rotten): Televizor je opet pokvaren. You know popraviti — to fix: Majstor je popravio pokvarenu cijev.
The house verbs
pospremati is to tidy up (the imperfective Saturday ritual): Subotom pospremam cijeli stan. srediti is to sort out, to put in order — rooms, papers, life: Moram srediti dokumente za natječaj. obojiti is to paint (walls, not pictures): Obojili smo sobu u plavo. vući is to pull: Ne vuci stol po podu!
