| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Яна (Yana)'s post. |
| Tanya: Този уикенд ще има разпродажба в мола (Tozi uikend shte ima razprodazhba v mola) |
| Eric: "There will be a sale in the mall this weekend." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Този уикенд ще има разпродажба в мола (Tozi uikend shte ima razprodazhba v mola) (Regular) Този уикенд ще има разпродажба в мола (Tozi uikend shte ima razprodazhba v mola) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "this weekend there will be." |
| Tanya: този уикенд ще има (tozi uikend shte ima) |
| Eric: On weekends, many Bulgarian women go shopping with female friends. A sale is a good occasion to meet and talk, look around, and possibly shop for some necessary clothes or shoes. Listen again - "this weekend there will be" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) този уикенд ще има (tozi uikend shte ima) (REGULAR) този уикенд ще има (tozi uikend shte ima) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "a sale in the mall." |
| Tanya: разпродажба в мола (razprodazhba v mola) |
| Eric: Shopping malls are convenient as they allow people to shop for different items in one place. Recently in Bulgaria, there has been a sharp rise in the number of new malls opening in the cities. It creates more fierce competition to attract shoppers. Therefore, the malls regularly organize sales weekends throughout the year. Listen again - "a sale in the mall" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) разпродажба в мола (razprodazhba v mola) (REGULAR) разпродажба в мола (razprodazhba v mola) |
| Eric: Altogether, "There will be a sale in the mall this weekend." |
| Tanya: Този уикенд ще има разпродажба в мола (Tozi uikend shte ima razprodazhba v mola) |
