Dave got SAD NEWS– ŽALOSTNE NOVICE from Ireland. His favourite aunt Nessa PASSED AWAY – JE UMRLA and he’s pretty SAD – ŽALOSTEN. Anyway, there is something good even in bad things. Dave and his brother are aunt Nessa’s HEIRS – DEDIČA. Aunt Nessa was pretty RICH – BOGATA.
Today Dave learned that three important guys come to Slovenia in December… MIKLAVŽ – ST. NICHOLAS at the start… BOŽIČEK – SANTA CLAUS at CHRISTMAS – BOŽIČ, and Dedek Mraz – GRANDFATHER FROST at the end of the year… Oh, and a JABOLKO - APPLE isn't always for eating!
While Dave puts his back into cutting down his and Fani's first CHRISTMAS TREE - BOŽIČNA JELKA, let's look at some of the words he's learned today. GOZD or GOŠA is WOODS. SVEŽI ZRAK is FRESH AIR. MRZLO is COLD, BOR is a PINE TREE, HRAST is an OAK TREE, STORŽ is an ACORN and SMREKA is a SPRUCE TREE. MAH is MOSS. JASLICE is a CRIB or NATIVITY SCENE. SEKIRA is an AXE and SEKATI is TO CUT DOWN a tree. I think that Dave has definitely earned a KUHANO VINO – MULLED WINE or two today.
Lost in translation. Poor Dave walked into the wrong place again. He wanted to buy Fani some HIGH HEELS – VISOKE PETE or PETKE, but almost bought her some PODKVE – HORSESHOES, PRI KOVAČU – AT THE BLACKSMITH’S. And some other words we learned today: DRAGO – EXPENSIVE, POCENI – CHEAP, NJIVA – FIELD, MESTO – TOWN, ONCE A WEEK – ENKRAT NA TEDEN, DELOVNA – HARDWORKING, MOČEN – STRONG or STOUT, and HRANITI – TO FEED.
Dave learned today that LEARNING or EDUCATION is IZOBRAŽEVANJE. He also found out that it's important to know when to 'VIKATI' - to use the polite form - or 'TIKATI'. When using the polite form we don't say 'SI' but 'STE'. “FOR YOU” in the polite form is 'ZA VAS'. The verbs also have to change… I think that Dave will get it…SČASOMA - EVENTUALLY!
Oh, those love birds… And Dave, he’s learning Slovene AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY – OB VSAKI PRILOŽNOSTI. Even when cleaning the BASEMENT - KLET or TEMNA LUKNJA – DARK HOLE. They found old SHOES – ČEVLJI and CLOTHES – OBLAČILA… from 2009. Fani used to work out also, there was some old WORKOUT DEVICE – TELOVADNA NAPRAVA. And back in the days friends wrote in her SPOMINSKA KNJIGA – MEMORY BOOK.
Today Dave learned from Mia that SESTANEK is a MEETING, SLUŽBA is WORK, LIKATI is TO IRON, LIKALNIK is AN IRON, OBLAČILA are CLOTHES, STOJALO is a CLOTHES HORSE, ODLOČITI is TO DECIDE, DOBRO VPRAŠANJE is A GOOD QUESTION, and Fani is always LOVELY - LEPA… and never ANGRY – JEZNA... unlike her sister Špela, it seems!
And that's how Dave started giving private English lessons. In doing so he also learned a few more Slovenian words: AD – OGLAS, URE – LESSONS, NATIVE SPEAKER – NARAVNI GOVOREC, BEGINNERS – ZAČETNIKI, ADVANCED – NAPREDNI, DVA KRAT NA TEDEN – TWO TIMES A WEEK, PRICE – CENA, PREVEČ – TOO MUCH, PREMALO – TOO LITTLE, and A NEGOTIABLE PRICE is CENA PO DOGOVORU.
Dave’s first ski lesson was fun. He fell x times, but he’s still willing to learn. Today he learned SNEG is SNOW, SMUČI are SKIS, ROKAVICE are GLOVES, ŠAL is SCARF and ŠALA is a JOKE. He now also knows that FUN is ZABAVA and SNEŽAK is a SNOWMAN.
NASLEDNJIČ – NEXT TIME Dave will be back. And he will play POOL – BILIJARD again. However, Dave did not accept the STAVA – BET this time. Instead, he decided to keep his PROMISE – OBLJUBA to Fani and be home by 11. But next time he plays pool he will now the vocabulary - a CUE is PALICA, TO BREAK is DA RAZBIJEŠ, and you can play with the PRAZNE - STRIPES or POLNE – SOLID balls.
So... FINGERS CROSSED – DRŽIMO PESTI for Dave and Fani and their HOUSING LOAN – STANOVANJSKI KREDIT. Today our couple found their DREAM HOUSE – SANJSKA HIŠA but earlier thought that Izidor was about to sell them a WRECK - PODRTIJA.
Fani and Dave are going to see a HOUSE - HIŠA with gospod KLOBASA – SAUSAGE. Dave’s CLASSMATE - SOŠOLEC owns a REAL ESTATE AGENCY – NEPREMIČNINSKO AGENCIJO and is a REAL ESTATE AGENT – NEPREMIČNINSKI AGENT. Well, we’ll see what the young couple will say about the house NEAR MARIBOR – BLIZU MARIBORA.
