POST |
Eric: Listen again to Камен (Kamen)'s post. |
Tanya: Хайде да пробваме новия удон ресторант. (Hayde da probvame noviya udon restorant.) |
Eric: "Let's try out the new udon restaurant." |
Tanya: (SLOW) Хайде да пробваме новия удон ресторант. (Hayde da probvame noviya udon restorant.) (Regular) Хайде да пробваме новия удон ресторант. (Hayde da probvame noviya udon restorant.) |
Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "let's try out." |
Tanya: хайде да пробваме (hayde da probvame) |
Eric: This is a common phrase you can use to issue a general invitation to other people to try out a new place - a club, a restaurant, a cafe, etc. Listen again - "let's try out" is... |
Tanya: (SLOW) хайде да пробваме (hayde da probvame) (REGULAR) хайде да пробваме (hayde da probvame) |
Eric: Then comes the phrase - "the new udon (the Japanese noodle) restaurant." |
Tanya: новия удон ресторант (noviya udon restorant) |
Eric: When going out with friends, especially on a weekday, Bulgarian people often dine out. When you’re meeting the same group of friends regularly, you might want a variety of places at which to meet. An invitation to try out a new place is also an easy conversation starter. Udon is one of the popular Japanese foods that more and more Bulgarian people look for. Listen again - "the new udon restaurant" is... |
Tanya: (SLOW) новия удон ресторант (noviya udon restorant) (REGULAR) новия удон ресторант (noviya udon restorant) |
Eric: Altogether, "Let's try out the new udon restaurant." |
Tanya: Хайде да пробваме новия удон ресторант. (Hayde da probvame noviya udon restorant.) |
