With the new baby Fani and Dave have decided it’s time for a BIGGER CAR - VEČJI AVTO, a MINIVAN or ENOPROSTOREC. It has a VEČJI PRTLJAŽNIK – BIGGER TRUNK, is SAFE - VAREN, has GOOD AIR CONDITIONING – DOBRO KLIMATSKO NAPRAVO, and ZATEMNJENA STEKLA – TINTED WINDOWS. Plus, the CAR SALESMAN – PRODAJALEC at the AVTOHIŠA – CAR DEALERSHIP even says the price is negotiable. But before you buy any car, you should go for a TEST DRIVE or TESTNA VOŽNJA…
Looks like Dave is not SUPERSTITIOUS – VRAŽEVEREN at all. But he learned some new words: ITCHY NOSE means SRBEČ NOS, KUKAVICA is a CUCKOO, PRIPOROČLJIVO – RECOMMENDED, PLJUNITI – TO SPIT, DIMNIKAR is a CHIMNEY SWEEPER, SRAKA – MAGPIE, ŽALOST means SORROW… Let fate bring you only good things.
Today’s chess lesson didn’t go according to Dave’s plan. In the end it was Fani that did the teaching. And this is what Dave learned: CHESS – ŠAH, PAWN – KMET, ROOK – TRDNJAVA, KNIGHT – KONJ, BISHOP – VITEZ, KING – KRALJ, QUEEN – KRALJICA and CHECKMATE is ŠAH MAT!
It seems that Dave really likes the new COFFEE MACHINE - KAVNI APARAT. And he learned some handy new words as well. NAVODILO means INSTRUCTIONS, GARANCIJA is a WARRANTY, SKRIVATI is TO HIDE, KAVNA ZRNA are COFFEE BEANS and KAVNA USEDLINA is COFFEE GROUNDS. VKLOPITI is TO PLUG IN, IZKLOPITI is TO PLUG OUT, PRIŽGATI is TO TURN ON, UGASNITI is TO TURN OUT, and STIKALO is A SWITCH. We know that the coffee is great but maybe Dave should take it easy from now on or he'll start SHAKING – TRESTI SE again. Or maybe he could just try DECAF COFFEE - BREZKOFEINSKA KAVA the next time. Bellissimo!
Slovene is not as easy as it seems and it can be COMPLICATED - KOMPLICIRANO, especially when you consider all the different dialects it has. Neighbour Jože was not speaking CHINESE - KITAJŠČINA, nor HUNGARIAN – MADŽARŠČINA, and it was definitely no PARROT – PAPIGA language. Short – mostly two-syllable words - are often used in many Slovene dialects, including in ŠTAJERŠČINA – STYRIAN. And some of the phrases neighbour Jože used were: KI SI TI? – WHERE ARE YOU?, KA TE VEM – I DON'T KNOW, KI TE TO JE? – WHERE'S THAT?, NI NEKE HICE – IT'S NOT THAT HOT, DAJ NEHI NO – PLEASE, STOP IT, MAMO MI TO – WE'VE GOT THIS, and KA TE ČEŠ – WELL, WHAT CAN YOU DO. TE PA TAK – OK THEN.
Max Connor is in Prekmurje for the first time. He met his GRANDMOTHER – BABICA and GRANDFATHER – DEDEK, and they were very happy to meet their GRANDSON – VNUK. Dave was a bit panicked at the beginning, but Fani CALMED HIM DOWN – GA JE POMIRILA. He shouldn’t be so SENSITIVE – OBČUTLJIV, even if grandma Marija wants to give Max BREAD – KRUH and an EGG – JAJCE, or BILICA as they say in Prekmurje. It’s not meant for Max to eat those things, it’s just a CUSTOM – OBIČAJ in Prekmurje.
It looks like Dave is handling his “dad job’s” pretty well, huh? He knows how to make the baby SMILE – NASMEJATI, and CHANGE THE DIAPER – ZAMENJATI PLENICO which has POOP – KAKEC, despite the STENCH – SMRAD. Fani can be calm, because her boys are BONDING – SPLETATA VEZI really fast and Dave is very BRAVE – POGUMEN, or as he says, a NATURAL TALENT – NARAVNI TALENT.
Slovenes and their traditions… As Dave learned today, there is a tradition at the birth of a NEWBORN or NOVOROJENČEK, namely to MAKE A TOAST or NAZDRAVITI, so that the BABY or DOJENČEK is healthy… Dave’s friends gave him a gift, some money for the DIAPERS or PLENICE. They say, the more glasses you raise, the healthier the baby is going to be. But one should also keep in mind, not to forget to visit your newborn and his mother in the PORODNIŠNICA or MATERNITY HOSPITAL… and to sober up with a coffee before that!
The happy parents already have new challenges and their old habits in the first hour after giving birth. Dave learned some new words: SPODBUJATI means TO ENCOURAGE, TRESTI – TO SHAKE, UGANITI – TO GUESS, HEC or ŠALA means JOKE, and it’s good that Dave is prepared to BEDETI - BE AWAKE.
A baby is on its way to Fani and Dave… After Fani’s WATER BROKE – JI JE ODTEKLA VODA, CONTRACTIONS – POPADKI started. Dave packed Fani’s bag, he took DOCUMENTS – DOKUMENTI, the MATERNITY BOOK – MATERINSKO KNJIŽICO, BIRTH PLAN – PORODNI NAČRT, PADS – VLOŽKE, BRA – MODRČEK and MESH PANTIES – MREŽASTE HLAČKE. Now she is in the DELIVERY ROOM – PORODNA SOBA and everything is about to change, any time now…
It seems that Dave and Fani are almost ready for PARENTHOOD – STARŠEVSTVO. They need PSYHOLOGICAL PREPARATION – PSIHOLOŠKA PRIPRAVA. Dave should learn PORODNO DIHANJE – BIRTH BREATHING. POROD means CHILDBIRTH, NEGA NOVOROJENČKA is NEWBORN CARE, PLENICE are DIAPERS, DOJENJE is BREASTTFEEDING, NOSEČNOST is PREGNANCY, to BURP is RIGNITI… and Dave is still curious hot to BURP THE BABY – PODRETI KUPČEK.
Dave had a bit of an exciting day... but HE IS EXHAUSTED – JE IZČRPAN. It wasn’t easy or “ni bila mala malica”. He learned that it's good to do a FAVOUR – USLUGA for someone. He now knows that VRTEC is KINDERGARTEN, TO SAVE is VARČEVATI or ŠPARATI, ZAUPATI is TO TRUST and POJUTRIŠNJEM is THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. HE GOT HIS NAILS PAINTED – NALAKIRAL SI JE NOHTE – and his HAIR FIXED - UREDIL LASE by the little KOZMETIČARKA – BEAUTICIAN. And now HE HAS EARNED - SI JE PRISLUŽIL a REST - POČITEK!
