Art/Literary
English term or phrase: dirty road
description of place
fatty
prasnjava cesta/put
Explanation:
If the spelling in the question is correct (I'm sure it is) and as it is the "description of place" then the closest translation would be as suggested.

Dirt means "prasina" in this case.

Native speaker, fluent in English (35 yrs) and - experience.

Cheers!

zemljani put


Explanation:
...ili zemljana cesta

Doduše, u "Englesko-srpskohrvatskom rečniku drumskog saobraćaja" piše "dirt road" a ne "dirty road", ali pretpostavljam da je to to.
