Lesson 72

QuestionAnswer
to make it
stići
When I work the afternoon shift, I often stay overtime, so I don’t make it for coffee.
Kad radim popodnevnu smjenu, često ostajem prekovremeno, pa ne stignem na kavu.
vacation leave
godišnji
This week I can’t take vacation leave, because I am working overtime every day.
Ovaj tjedan ne mogu uzeti godišnji, jer radim prekovremeno svaki dan.
even if
čak i da
Even if I get vacation leave in July, I will stay in the city until my colleague finishes her sick leave.
Čak i da dobijem godišnji u srpnju, ostat ću u gradu dok kolegica ne završi bolovanje.
Last winter I was on sick leave for a week because of the flu.
Prošle zime bila sam na bolovanju tjedan dana zbog gripe.
to want
tražiti
The boss wants us to come earlier to the meeting.
Šefica traži da dođemo ranije na sastanak.
Even if the client is satisfied with the price, the boss wants me to show her the offer first.
Čak i da je klijentica zadovoljna cijenom, šefica traži da joj najprije pokažem ponudu.
The new female tenant says the apartment suits her, but the deposit is very high.
Nova podstanarka kaže da joj stan odgovara, ali je kaucija jako visoka.
The tenant asks whether the deposit will be returned to her if she moves out before autumn.
Podstanarka pita hoće li joj kaucija biti vraćena ako se iseli prije jeseni.
Besides the rent, she also pays the building reserve fund every month.
Osim stanarine, svaki mjesec plaća i pričuvu za zgradu.
The reserve fund is not large, but the intercom at the entrance is not working again.
Pričuva nije velika, ali interfon na ulazu opet ne radi.
When the intercom doesn’t work, guests leave their wet shoes on the doormat and ring the doorbell.
Kad interfon ne radi, gosti ostavljaju mokre cipele na otiraču i zvone na vrata.
I bought a new doormat because the old one was too small for our entrance.
Kupila sam novi otirač, jer je stari bio mali za naš ulaz.
test result
nalaz
The doctor told me that I have a small inflammation, but that the test result is not ready yet.
Doktorica mi je rekla da imam malu upalu, ali da nalaz još nije gotov.
If the inflammation does not go away, I will have to come again in a week.
Ako upala ne prođe, morat ću doći opet za tjedan dana.
both
obje
Both girls are ready.
Obje djevojke su spremne.
Last winter both my mom and I had the flu, so we both stayed at home.
Prošle zime i mama i ja imale smo gripu, pa smo obje ostale kod kuće.
to disappear
nestati
The key has disappeared, so I can’t get into the apartment.
Ključ je nestao, pa ne mogu ući u stan.
Even if the rash disappears by tomorrow, she wants to see the test result before she changes the medicine.
Čak i da osip nestane do sutra, želi vidjeti nalaz prije nego što promijeni lijek.
When I breathe with difficulty, I use an inhaler and immediately sit by the window.
Kad teško dišem, koristim inhalator i odmah sjednem kraj prozora.
My daughter carries an inhaler with her, and she takes the evening dose of medicine before going to sleep.
Moja kći nosi inhalator sa sobom, a večernju dozu lijeka uzima prije spavanja.
Don’t forget the morning dose, even if you feel better today.
Nemoj zaboraviti jutarnju dozu, čak i ako se danas osjećaš bolje.
If you stand far away, you won’t hear well over the loudspeaker which track you need to go to.
Ako stojiš daleko, preko razglasa nećeš dobro čuti na koji kolosijek trebaš ići.
The female passenger found out over the loudspeaker that the train to Rijeka is late by almost an hour.
Putnica je preko razglasa saznala da vlak za Rijeku kasni skoro sat vremena.
Even if the train is late, I will wait for you at the station.
Čak i da vlak kasni, pričekat ću te na kolodvoru.
Could you please confirm whether I need one more referral or whether this insurance is enough?
Možete li mi, molim vas, potvrditi treba li mi još jedna uputnica ili je ovo osiguranje dovoljno?
When I finish the morning shift, I will contact the client and send her a message.
Kad završim jutarnju smjenu, javit ću se klijentici i poslati joj poruku.
If the intercom is not working again, I will put the new doormat in front of the door and wait for the guests in front of the building.
Ako interfon opet ne bude radio, stavit ću novi otirač ispred vrata i čekati goste ispred zgrade.
