| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Камен (Kamen)'s post. |
| Tanya: Преди година тя каза "ДА" пред всички (Predi godina tya kaza "DA" pred vsichki) |
| Eric: "A year ago she said "Yes" in front of everyone." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Преди година тя каза "ДА" пред всички (Predi godina tya kaza "DA" pred vsichki) (Regular) Преди година тя каза "ДА" пред всички (Predi godina tya kaza "DA" pred vsichki) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "A year ago she said ‘Yes,’" |
| Tanya: Преди година тя каза "ДА" (Predi godina tya kaza "DA") |
| Eric: In order for a marriage to be legal in Bulgaria, the couple must sign an official document. It’s associated with the free and explicit declaration of their mutual desire to get married. Listen again - "A year ago she said ‘Yes’" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Преди година тя каза "ДА" (Predi godina tya kaza "DA") (REGULAR) Преди година тя каза "ДА" (Predi godina tya kaza "DA") |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "in front of everyone." |
| Tanya: пред всички (pred vsichki) |
| Eric: Apart from the civil ritual, the couple can also decide to have a church wedding. As the church ceremony is not so much focused on the couple themselves but on their relationship with God, there isn’t actually a moment when the bride and groom are asked to exchange vows. Listen again - "in front of everyone" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) пред всички (pred vsichki) (REGULAR) пред всички (pred vsichki) |
| Eric: Altogether, "A year ago she said ‘Yes’ in front of everyone." |
| Tanya: Преди година тя каза "ДА" пред всички (Predi godina tya kaza "DA" pred vsichki) |
