Unlock your Serbian

U ovoj epizodi razgovaramo o mašti i kreativnosti – temama koje nas prate od detinjstva, ali i u odraslom dobu. Govorimo o tome šta za nas znači maštati, kako nam mašta služi kao vodilja kroz život i da li u našoj svakodnevici i dalje ima dovoljno mesta za nju.
Delimo priče o našim najvećim snovima, poput selidbe u inostranstvo, ali i o trenutku kada nas nakon ostvarenja tih želja udari realnost. Takođe, pričamo o važnosti stvaralaštva, pokretanju novih ideja i onom posebnom osećaju kada primetimo napredak u učenju jezika.

Zdravo svima, ja sam Nevena. 
Hello everyone, I'm Nevena.
Jelena (00:02)
Ja sam Jelena. 
I'm Jelena.
Nevena (00:03)
I dobro došli u novo epizodu Unlock Your Serbian sa Jelenom i Nevenom. And welcome to a new episode of Unlock Your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena.
Jelena (00:08)
Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i danas razgovaramo o jednoj veoma kreativnoj temi. Ova tema je mašta. Šta to znači maštati? Kada maštamo? I da li još uvek znamo da maštamo kada smo odrasli ljudi? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast, and today we are talking about a very creative topic. This topic is imagination. What does it mean to imagine? When do we imagine? And do we still know how to imagine when we are adults?
Nevena (00:29)
A ovo je jako interesantno što si sada rekla, da li dalje znamo da maštamo? Ovo mi se baš sviđa i mislim da baš imamo mogućnost da raspravljamo o ovome i da vidimo kako razmišljamo o tome i kao i uvek naravno želimo da čujemo i vaša mišljenja, dakle šta vi ili kako vi gledate na maštu i da li dalje u vašem životu ima prostora za nju. And this is very interesting, what you just said: do we still know how to imagine? I really like this and I think we have a great opportunity to discuss this and see how we think about it, and as always, of course, we want to hear your opinions too—so, how do you view imagination, and is there still space for it in your life?
Ako želite i vi da razgovarate sa nama o ovoj temi i o mnogim drugim temama koje mi imamo u našem podkastu, dođite na našem koverzacijske pozive. Ovi pozivi se održavaju svake subote u 5 sati po centralnom evropskom vremenu. If you also want to talk with us about this topic and many other topics that we have in our podcast, join our conversation calls. These calls take place every Saturday at 5 o'clock Central European Time.

U ovoj epizodi razgovaramo o mašti i kreativnosti. Pričamo o tome šta za nas znači maštanje i da li i dalje imamo vremena za snove u svakodnevnom životu.
Delimo priče o našim velikim snovima, na primer o selidbi u inostranstvo, ali i o tome kakva je realnost kada se ti snovi ostvare. Takođe, razgovaramo o stvaranju novih ideja i o lepom osećaju kada vidimo da napredujemo u učenju jezika.

Jelena (00:08)
Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas razgovaramo o jednoj kreativnoj temi. Mi danas razgovaramo o kreativnosti i o maštanju. Kada kažemo maštanje, to je kao naši snovi. Šta mi sanjamo i šta želimo da radimo. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about a creative topic. Today we are talking about creativity and imagination. When we say imagining, that is like our dreams. What we dream about and what we want to do.
Nevena (00:30)
Da, kada kažemo ja maštam, znači da ja razmišljam o stvarima koje ne postoje, koje nisu ovde, nisu u našem svetu, ali su u našoj glavi. I mi razmišljamo šta može da se desi ili šta mi volimo da razmišljamo kako mi mislimo da će naš život izgledati za pet, deset, petnaest godina i tako dalje. Yes, when we say I imagine, it means that I think about things that don't exist, that are not here, are not in our world, but are in our head. And we think about what can happen or what we like to think, how we think our life will look in five, ten, fifteen years and so on.
Kada govorimo o mašti, mi možemo da govorimo o mnogim stvarima. Na primer, ja često razmišljam o poslu ili o nečemu što volim da radim za posao ili kao hobi. When we speak about imagination, we can speak about many things. For example, I often think about work or about something I like to do for work or as a hobby.

U ovoj epizodi razgovaramo o lepoj temi – kućnim ljubimcima! Pričamo o tome koliko nam životinje daju sreće, ali i koliko obaveza imamo oko njih. Poredimo naša iskustva sa psima i mačkama i pričamo o tome kakvi su prvi meseci sa njima. Takođe, objašnjavamo zašto je briga o malom ljubimcu na početku veoma slična brizi o bebi.

Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i danas razgovaramo o kućnim ljubimcima. Kućni ljubimci su životinje koje imamo u kući. Dakle, životinje koje žive sa nama kao što su pas, mačka ali ponekad i riba, zec itd. That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about pets. Pets are animals that we have at home. So, animals that live with us, such as a dog, a cat, but sometimes a fish, a rabbit, etc.
Nevena (00:35)
Tako je, danas želimo da razgovaramo o životinjama i o kućnim ljubimcima. Dakle, o životinjama koje imamo kod kuće. Zato što sam ja, pre nekoliko dana, uzela jednu životinju. Dakle, ja nisam imala životinju, a sada imam. I ja sada imam jednu malu mačku, dakle, jednu macu. Kada govorimo o mladim mačkama koje imaju 2, 3, 5 meseci, kažemo da je to jedno mače. That's right, today we want to talk about animals and about pets. So, about animals that we have at home. Because a few days ago, I got an animal. So, I didn't have an animal, and now I do. And now I have a small cat, so, a kitty. When we talk about young cats that are 2, 3, 5 months old, we say that it's a kitten.

Tako je, dobrodošli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. I mi danas, za promenu, razgovaramo o jednoj veoma laganoj temi, a to su kućni ljubimci. I odlučile smo da razgovaramo o ovaj temi zato što Nevena ima malu prinovu kod kuće.
That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast. And today, for a change, we are talking about a very light topic, which is pets. And we decided to talk about this topic because Nevena has a new little addition at home.
Nevena (00:32)
Tako je Nevena je postala mama jedne male mace. I ovo je bio moj životni san. I generalno, rekla bih da se osećam ovih dana kao dete. Još uvek nije prošlo nedelju dana od kako sam ga uzela u trenutku kada mi snimamo ovaj podkast. I pošto sam celog života absolutno želela mačku, a nisam mogla da je dobijem, osećam se kao dete kome su se sve želje ispunile i sada ne mogu da se koncentrišem ni na što drugo osim na macu koja se zove Sevro.
That's right, Nevena became the mom of a little kitten. And this was my lifelong dream. And generally, I would say that I feel like a child these days. It hasn't even been a week since I got him at the time we are recording this podcast. And since I absolutely wanted a cat my whole life, but couldn't get one, I feel like a child whose wishes have all come true and now I can't concentrate on anything else except the kitten whose name is Sevro.

Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas razgovaramo o tabu temama. Šta su to tabu teme i koje su najveće tabu teme u Srbiji? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about taboo topics. What are taboo topics and what are the biggest taboo topics in Serbia?

Nevena (00:20)
Prvo što mi pada na pamet kad da govorimo o tabu temama, jeste novac. Dakle, koliko u Srbiji ljudi ne vole da razgovaraju o novcu na dubokom nivou, ja mislim, dakle, to je sve okej da kažeš, e nisam... Ha, sada mi pada na pamet jedan lep izraz koji koristimo u slengu, možda je i ranije bio više korišćen, ali i sada. Kažemo, nisam pri kinti.
The first thing that comes to my mind when we talk about taboo topics is money. So, how much people in Serbia don't like to talk about money on a deep level, I think, so, it's all okay to say, hey I'm not... Ha, now a nice expression we use in slang comes to mind, maybe it was used more before, but also now. We say, I'm not "pri kinti" (I don't have money).
Ili kažemo nisam pri novcu, nisam pri parama. Znači da nemam sada novac za šta god. I dakle, to je nešto što je okej, može da se kaže, ali se dalje od toga ne razgovara o novcu.
Or we say "nisam pri novcu", "nisam pri parama". It means I don't have money right now for whatever. And so, that's something that is okay, it can be said, but beyond that, money isn't talked about.
