- Не можеш да узмеш ауто, јер нема бензина. ― You can’t take the car, because there isn’t any gas.
1989, Видосав Стевановић, Иницијали:Цигарета беше горка као пепео. Седео сам у ауту (руке на волану, глава на рукама) и ослушкивао кишу – вечан, једноличан и увек нов шум, дирљиво досадан и мени необично, тужно узбудљив; ромињала је шапућући као старица која плаче на туђем гробу.- The cigarette was as bitter as ash. I sat in the car (hands on the steering wheel, head on my hands) and listened to the rain - eternal, monotonous and always new noise, touchingly boring and strangely, sadly exciting for me; she whispered like an old woman crying at someone else's grave.
Usage notes
- In Serbia auto/ауто as neuter ("плаво ауто" instead of "плави ауто") can occur, but it is substandard.
