The Car's Exterior
When talking to a mechanic or describing an incident, knowing the parts of a car's exterior is crucial. The general term for the bodywork is limarija. You might also need to point out specific areas like the hood (hauba) or the trunk (prtljažnik)—common places to find a dent (udubljenje).
| Do you know where that dent on the bodywork came from? | Znaš li otkud to udubljenje na limariji? |
| There are a lot of dents all over the hood. | Ima puno udubljenja po haubi. |
You will also need the word for a license plate (tablica) when filing a report or describing another vehicle.
| They stole my license plate from the trunk! | Ukrali su mi tablicu s prtljažnika! |
| The police officer asked me whose license plate that is. | Policajac me je pitao čija je to tablica. |
Fundamental Controls
For manual transmissions, the clutch is called spojka, while the accelerator is simply gas.
| Let go of the clutch and slowly add gas. | Pusti spojku i polako dodaj gas. |
| The mechanic must fix the clutch and the bodywork. | Mehaničar mora popraviti spojku i limariju. |
Alert others on the road with the horn (truba).
| He drives fast and constantly uses the gas and the horn. | On vozi brzo i stalno koristi gas i trubu. |
Lights and Bumpers
Minor accidents often result in damage to a headlight (far) or bumper (branik).
| His bumper destroyed my headlight. | Njegov branik je uništio moj far. |
| I damaged the headlight and the bumper with my car. | Oštetio sam far i branik svojim autom. |
