Keep your vehicle in good shape with these essential terms for a trip to the gas station or car wash.
The Gas Station and Car Wash
Two of the most common stops for vehicle care are the gas station (benzinska postaja) and the car wash (autopraonica).
| Behind the gas station is a car wash. | Iza benzinske postaje je autopraonica. |
Pumping Fuel
When you pull up to the pump to fill up (natočiti), make sure you know whether your engine takes petrol (benzin) or diesel (dizel).
| He wants to get fuel at the gas station. | On želi natočiti gorivo na benzinskoj postaji. |
| You must pump either petrol or diesel. | Moraš natočiti ili benzin ili dizel. |
The preposition umjesto (instead of) requires the genitive case, as in umjesto benzina:
| His car uses diesel instead of petrol. | Njegov auto koristi dizel umjesto benzina. |
Tires and Polishing
Seasonal temperature changes often mean you have to inflate (napumpati) your tires.
| In winter I often have to inflate the tires. | Zimi često moram napumpati gume. |
You might also take your car to the car wash to get it polished (polirati).
| At the car wash, they want to polish my car. | U autopraonici žele polirati moj auto. |
Windshields and Wipers
Keep your windshield (vjetrobran) clear with a working set of windshield wipers (brisači).
| Only new windshield wipers can clean the windshield. | Samo novi brisači mogu očistiti vjetrobran. |
| In winter the windshield and windshield wipers must be clean. | Zimi vjetrobran i brisači moraju biti čisti. |
