stréči to serve; to attend to, to wait on
stréči bolniku to tend a sick person
vam že kdo streže? (v trgovini) are you being attended to?, (pri mizi) is anyone serving you?
stréči stroju to be in charge of (ali to mind) a machine
stréči strastem to indulge one's passions, to be a slave to one's passions
stréči topu vojska to serve a gun
stréči pri mizi to serve at table, to wait at table
stréči svojim osebnim interesom to look after one's private interests
on ima rad, da se mu streže he likes to be waited on
stréči po življenju komu to make an attempt on someone's life
kakor se ji streže, tako kosa reže you get what you pay for
