| (clicking sound) |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Камен (Kamen)'s post. |
| Tanya: Догодина по това време ще сме трима! (Dogodina po tova vreme shte sme trima!) |
| Eric: "This time next year, there will be three of us." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Догодина по това време ще сме трима! (Dogodina po tova vreme shte sme trima!) (Regular) Догодина по това време ще сме трима! (Dogodina po tova vreme shte sme trima!) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "This time next year." |
| Tanya: Догодина по това време (Dogodina po tova vreme) |
| Eric: This phrase can be used to express that what you’re talking about will happen exactly one year from the moment of speaking. Listen again - "This time next year" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Догодина по това време (Dogodina po tova vreme) (REGULAR) Догодина по това време (Dogodina po tova vreme) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "there will be three of us." |
| Tanya: ще сме трима (shte sme trima) |
| Eric: A pregnant woman might announce the happy event in a straightforward manner, saying "We'll have a baby.” The husband, however, might not feel comfortable talking directly about it. They’d use some more roundabout ways to do it, if they mention it at all before the day of birth. Listen again - "there will be three of us" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) ще сме трима (shte sme trima) (REGULAR) ще сме трима (shte sme trima) |
| Eric: Altogether, "This time next year, there will be three of us." |
| Tanya: Догодина по това време ще сме трима! (Dogodina po tova vreme shte sme trima!) |
