navikni se ili se izvuci (see comments)


Explanation:
navikni se na nesto ili se izvuci iz toga or
navikni se na nesto ili se od toga odstrani or
navikni se na nesto ili odustani od toga or
navikni se na to ili idi, etc

There are several options for these two words, and it is hard to determine which equivalent to use without having posted more context. However, the above mentioned should fit into most of translations

Evacuate
Verb
1. Move out of an unsafe location into safety; "After the earthquake, residents were evacuated".
2. Empty completely; "evacuate the bottle".
3. Move people from their homes or country.
4. Create a vacuum in (a bulb, flask, reaction vessel, etc.).
5. Excrete or discharge from the body

acclimate does not stand for priviknuti se (get used to something temporarily), but for naviknuti se (to get accustomized or familiarized to something or with somebody in full)


good luck

in this case, correct thing should be:

NAVIKNI SE ILI IDI

Good luck / sretno
