>>I usually stop somewhere halfway. Yesterday I saw the last few butts in my ashtray - they were about 2-3 times longer than they should be. I just forget them there and they go out. Actually they don't go anywhere, they just... sh*t, is there a word for "ugasiti se" in English? What fire and/or light (as in "not darkness") do when they stop being?

The primary meaning of "extinguish" is "put an end to; kill". "Ugasiti se" is for fire and light only.

Found another two missing words in English yesterday: "trudnica" (pregnant woman) and "bolesnik" (ill person). Note that the latter is not the same as patient, because patient is a party in a treatment process; "bolesnik" is just ill, no treatment implied. From "bolest" - disease, "bolestan" - ill.
