دوگانه سوز

Question

به نظرت می صرفه یه میلیون بدم پرایدمو دوگانه سوز کنم؟

Answer 1

We can use one of these terms:

flexible-fuel, dual-fuel, or colloquially called flex-fuel. ref:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible-fuel_vehicle

Hence:

Do you think it is worth spending one million tomans to convert my Kia Pride to flex-fuel?

 

P.S. A good collocation for "flex-fuel" is "convert". Look:

P.P.S. "Kia Pride" is the original name of this car.

Grammatically speaking,

it is worth and spend are followed by gerund

so

Do you think it is worth spending one million tomans (on) converting my Kia Pride to flex-fuel

Thank you. What you said about "worth doing" is 100% right (I just changed it), but about "spend" this isn't always the case. For example this is what vice-president **** Cheney said in 2005 about Guantánamo:

 

"We spent a lot of money to build it. They're very well treated down there."

ref:http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/24/politics/24cheney.html?_r=0

 

"Microsoft spent a lot of money to buy something completely worthless."

Hi

"Good" in informal American English can be used an an adverb meaning "well" in which case it is preceded by "do". But in the sentence above "good" is used as an adjective which does not collocate with "do".
