Banking & ATM

1. Gdje se nalazi najbliži bankomat?

   Where is the nearest ATM?

   Najbliži is the superlative of blizak (near). Bankomat is masculine.

2. Želim da podignem novac.

   I'd like to withdraw money.

   Usage

   Saying you want to withdraw cash

   Grammar Note

   "Želim da + present" is the preferred Bosnian pattern and does not depend on gender.

3. Mogu li ovdje zamijeniti valutu?

   Asking whether you can exchange currency here

   Grammar Note

   Zamijeniti is the ijekavian spelling (ekavian: zameniti).

4. Moja kartica ne radi.

   My card is not working.

   Usage

   Saying that your card does not work

   Grammar Note

   Moja agrees with the feminine noun kartica.

5. Koji je današnji kurs?

   What is the exchange rate?

   Usage

   Asking what today's exchange rate is

   Grammar Note

   Kurs means "exchange rate" and also "course".

6. Ima li naknade za transakciju?

   Is there a transaction fee?

   Grammar Note

   In questions with "ima", an uncountable noun usually takes the genitive (naknade).

7. Želim da prebacim novac.

   I'd like to transfer money.

   Usage

   Prebaciti means "to move across". The perfective present follows "da".

8. Mogu li dobiti priznanicu?

   Can I get a receipt?

   Usage

   Asking for a receipt

   At a bank, a receipt is priznanica; račun can also mean "bill" or "account", which would be ambiguous.

9. Moram prijaviti izgubljenu karticu.

   I need to report a lost card.

   Usage

   Saying you must report a lost card

   Grammar Note

   The adjective izgubljenu is feminine accusative, matching karticu. The sentence does not reveal the speaker's gender.

10. Koje je vaše radno vrijeme?

    What are your opening hours?

    Usage

    Asking what the opening hours are

    Grammar Note

    Vrijeme is the ijekavian spelling (ekavian: vreme). It is neuter, hence koje and vaše.
