    I don’t know how to say “boot” but for cars, in english. But you get the gist

    That’s easy, it’s pronounced “Trunk”

        I think this is kind of on the edge of definition. Historically, you’d say “start” a car, but these days with cars practically being computers…I dunno. Hell, my car is just always on. I just get in and go, I don’t “start” it at all. Occasionally, it has an issue and I have to manually reboot it, so…

        As a native English speaker, my answer is: I don’t know, it depends.
