| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Яна (Yana)'s post. |
| Tanya: У дома след незабравимо плаване из островите. (U doma sled nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite.) |
| Eric: "Finally at home after a memorable sail around the islands." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) У дома след незабравимо плаване из островите. (U doma sled nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite.) (Regular) У дома след незабравимо плаване из островите. (U doma sled nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite.) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "at home after." |
| Tanya: У дома след (U doma sled) |
| Eric: There are a few expressions to say "at home" in Bulgarian. This particular one implies the sense of longing, homecoming, and belonging. The word… |
| Tanya: дома |
| Eric: …can be used to mean the place where you feel your real self, not just the place where you currently reside. Listen again - "at home after" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) У дома след (U doma sled) (REGULAR) У дома след (U doma sled) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "a memorable sail around the islands.." |
| Tanya: незабравимо плаване из островите (nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite) |
| Eric: There are just seven Bulgarian islands in the Black Sea. Sailing to them is not very popular. In the past, most of them used to be taken care of by the military. Therefore, sailing to or around them wasn’t possible. The closest places Bulgarians can sail to are the Greek islands. Listen again - "a memorable sail around the islands" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) незабравимо плаване из островите (nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite) (REGULAR) незабравимо плаване из островите (nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite) |
| Eric: Altogether, "Finally at home after a memorable sail around the islands." |
| Tanya: У дома след незабравимо плаване из островите. (U doma sled nezabravimo plavane iz ostrovite.) |
