    • 1989, Vidosav Stevanović, Inicijali:

      Cigareta beše gorka kao pepeo. Sedeo sam u autu (ruke na volanu, glava na rukama) i osluškivao kišu – večan, jednoličan i uvek nov šum, dirljivo dosadan i meni neobično, tužno uzbudljiv; rominjala je šapućući kao starica koja plače na tuđem grobu.

      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.
    Ne možeš da uzmeš auto, jer nema benzina.You can’t take the car, because there isn’t any gas.
    Synonym: kola

Note: In Serbia auto/ауто as neuter («plavo auto» instead of «plavi auto») can occur, but it is substandard.
