| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Яна (Yana)'s post. |
| Tanya: Малкото съкровище днес е в прекрасно настроение (Malkoto sakrovishte dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) |
| Eric: "My little treasure is in a great mood today." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Малкото съкровище днес е в прекрасно настроение (Malkoto sakrovishte dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) (Regular) Малкото съкровище днес е в прекрасно настроение (Malkoto sakrovishte dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "the little treasure." |
| Tanya: Малкото съкровище (Malkoto sakrovishte) |
| Eric: Quite often parents and adults in general will refer to a small child by some phrase, describing their attitude or relationship to it, rather than by name. For example, they might say "my small treasure," "gold," "my princess," "beauty," "young gentleman," and the like. Listen again - "the little treasure " is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Малкото съкровище (Malkoto sakrovishte) (REGULAR) Малкото съкровище (Malkoto sakrovishte) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "it is in a great mood today." |
| Tanya: днес е в прекрасно настроение (dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) |
| Eric: Bulgarians in general tend to describe their feelings and mood with more moderate words - nice, good, gloomy, sad, etc. When you hear them using superlative words, such as splendid, fantastic, spectacular, then it indicates that they’re either in a particularly good mood or being a bit sarcastic. Listen again - "it is in a great mood today" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) днес е в прекрасно настроение (dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) (REGULAR) днес е в прекрасно настроение (dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) |
| Eric: Altogether, "My little treasure is in a great mood today." |
| Tanya: Малкото съкровище днес е в прекрасно настроение (Malkoto sakrovishte dnes e v prekrasno nastroenie) |
