GRAMMAR POINT
When you want to rent a car, you’ll say “I want to rent a car.” In Czech, this is..

Using this word, you can say ‘I want to rent a motorbike.’
In Czech, this is..

If you're renting something, it's also important to know when you need to return it.
When you want to say “When do I have to return it?”, in Czech, you can say..
Kdy to musím vrátit?
(slow) Kdy to mu-sím vrá-tit?

The second word is to which means “it.”
Then we have musím meaning something like “I must”.

And at the end, we have vrátit, which is a verb meaning “to return.”
(slow) Vrá-tit.

Let’s hear the entire question once more.
Kdy to musím vrátit?

If you want to return the item in a different place, you can ask “Can I return it somewhere else?” In Czech, this is..
Můžu to vrátit někde jinde?
(slow) Mů-žu to vrá-tit něk-de jin-de?

The first word, můžu, is a form of the verb “can”. In English, this is translated as “can I”.
