Description

ANG A young Slovene girl called Fani spent a year in the Emerald Isle working as an au-pair. After falling in love with good-humoured Irish bartender Dave, Fani lures him back to Maribor. But how can he possibly survive without knowing any Slovene? Trying to master »survival Slovene« turns out to be an incredible challenge for the highly motivated Dave, and occasionally a real nightmare for his beloved Fani. A Daily dose of Slovene language for foreigners wanting to improve their everyday Slovene, and have a laugh while doing it. Premieres every weekday at 7:30 am, rebroadcasts at 3:45 pm … only on Radio Si. ******************************************************* SLO Mlada slovenka Fani je leto dni preživela na zelenem Irskem kot varuška otrok. Tam se zaljubi v hudomušnega barmana Davea in ga zvabi, da se z njo vrne/preseli v Maribor. A le kako v Sloveniji preživeti brez znanja slovenščine? Spoznavanje »preživetvene slovenščine« je za izjemno motiviranega Irca neverjeten izziv, za njegovo Fani pa občasno prava nočna mora. Dnevna doza slovenskega jezika za vse tujce, ki bi se želeli vsak dan naučiti nekaj novih slovenskih besed za vsakdanjik in se ob tem še nasmejati. Vsak delavnik premiera ob 7:30, ponovitev ob 15:45 … samo na Radiu Si.

275 - Wedding party

2022/06/24

POROKA – WEDDING is a new turning point in life. And today we learned new words as well: POROČNI ŠOPEK – WEDDING BOUQUET, NEVESTA – BRIDE, ŽENIN – GROOM, OBIČAJ – CUSTOM, POGRUNTAVŠČINA - TRICK/INGENUITY, GLAVOBOL – HEADACHE, and a PODVEZICA is a GARTER.

274 - Wedding ceremony

2022/06/23

How beautiful. To shed a tear. And so many new words: POROČNI OBRED – WEDDING CEREMONY, METULJČEK – BOW TIE, NEVESTA - BRIDE, ŽENIN – GROOM, ZVEST – FAITHFULL, ZVESTOBA - LOYALTY, SPOŠTOVATI – TO RESPECT, SVETI DUH – HOLY SPIRIT, and POLJUBITI – TO KISS. Good luck to the NEWLYWEDS – MLADOPOROČENCA!

273 - Pre-wedding customs

2022/06/22

The wedding is pretty close now and Dave is still surprised over Slovenia’s CUSTOMS – NAVADE/OBIČAJI. Anyway, tonight he learned that SALTY SNACKS are SLANI PRIGRIZKI, a PLAN is a NAČRT, and STRANGE is ČUDNO. TO GET REST is SPOČITI SE and he also learned that Slovenes are champions when it comes to talking about customs…

272 - Firefighter competition

2022/06/21

While Dave and sosed Jože head off to watch the TEKMOVANJE or COMPETITION, let's have a look at what Dave learned today. GASILCI - FIREFIGHTERS, GASILSKI AVTO - FIRE ENGINE, GAŠENJE POŽARA is TO PUT OUT/EXTINGUISH A FIRE, and GASILNI APARTI are FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. Sosed Jože was a PROSTOVOLJNI GASILEC – VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER in his younger days. DIRKA is a RACE, SUŠA is a DROUGHT, ŽLED is SLEET, and CEVI are PIPES. Luckily there are no fires today, but I'm sure that the competition is getting hot already.

271 - Picnic in the park

2022/06/20

Dave didn't manage to get his hands on some of Fani and Špela's drinks… but he did learn some new words at the picnic. DEKA - BLANKET, ODLOŽITI - TO PUT DOWN, SENCA - SHADE, MRAVLJA - ANT, OSA - WASP, ČEBELA – BEE, and SRŠEN - HORNET. And POJDI STRAN means GO AWAY! We just hope that Dave enjoys his OTROŠKI ŠAMPANJEC – KIDS’ CHAMPAGNE… because he won't get any of the real stuff.

270 - Bachelor party

2022/06/17

You know what they say, what happens at a FANTOVŠČINA – BACHELOR PARTY, stays at a fantovščina… Well, they say that for Vegas too with a reason… Dave’s friends made our Irish friend walk THE WAY OF THE CROSS – KRIŽEV POT. He had to walk it SOBER - TREZEN, as all the others drank WINE - VINO. After they reached the top of the Kalvarija hill it was party time, in the company of a HARMONIKA – ACCORDION player… Luckily Dave had one rule, »NO STRIPPERS or STRIPTIZETE«… And he hopes the guys obeyed, as he doesn’t remember… Well, the rest is history as I think Dave doesn’t even want to remember…

269 - Baby dream

2022/06/16

Maybe it was all the talk of Fani's friend's BABY SHOWER – ZABAVA ZA NOVO MAMICO that caused Dave's strange dreams last night, but he did, somehow, learn a lot of new words. DOJENČEK is a BABY, PLENICA is a NAPPY/DIAPER, PRALNA is WASHABLE, ZAMENJATI is TO CHANGE, SEGRETI is TO HEAT something up, MLAČNO is LUKEWARM and VOZIČEK is a PRAM. KRČ V ŽELODCU is a STOMACH CRAMP, BODI is a BODYSUIT/ONESIE, and “PODRETI KUPČEK” is TO BURP THE BABY. Well, at least now Dave knows how much work is involved in looking after a baby, but he also knows that he can do it!

268 - Catering

2022/06/15

It seems Dave and Fani found the catering service or catering for their wedding and the provider is offering a full service that includes SETTING UP THE FEAST – PRIPRAVLJANJE POGOSTITVE, and the CLEANING UP – POSPRAVLJANJE afterwards. The caterer also provides the CUTLERY – PRIBOR, PRTE – TABLECLOTHS, the WAITERS – NATAKARJE, and of course the FOOD - HRANA. The hardest part for our merry couple is to choose the right MENU - MENI.

267 - Wedding dress

2022/06/14

Well, sometimes Dave can surprise Fani and he sure did that this time. He already bought his WEDDING SUIT – POROČNA OBLEKA. And that is not going to bring any BAD LUCK – NESREČA, although Fani is quite SUPERSTITIOUS - VRAŽEVERNA. Dave also learned that a RENTAL SHOP is IZPOSOJEVALNICA and that buying a wedding dress for the bride is not a MAN’S THING – MOŠKA STVAR.

266 - Meaning of life

2022/06/13

It’s almost MIDNIGHT – POLNOČ and Dave started contemplating ABOUT THE MEANING OF LIFE – O SMISLU ŽIVLJENJA, and about WHAT HE WANTS – KAJ HOČE. He asked Fani if he was going through a MID-LIFE CRISIS – KRIZA SREDNJIH LET. Fani assured him that he was still an INTERESTING PERSON – ZANIMIVA OSEBA to be with, even though he fell asleep. So now Fani’s the one who’s AWAKE – BUDEN/BUDNA.

265 - An adventure

2022/06/10

Ah, yes, love is in the air and our romantic couple can’t wait to get to the MOON BAY – MESEČEV ZALIV. The BEACH – PLAŽA has no SAND – PESEK, but STONES – KAMNI. The SEA – MORJE might have some SEA URCHINS – MORSKI JEŽKI, but we’re not sure about the JELLY FISH – MEDUZE. Fani says there may not be any SHADE – SENCA, and Dave says it’s going to be an ADVENTURE – DOGODIVŠČINA or PUSTOLOVŠČINA.

264 - Wedding invitations

2022/06/09

The INVITATIONS – VABILA are written in SLOVENE – SLOVENŠČINA and in ENGLISH – ANGLEŠČINA. Fani found the perfect TEMPLATE – PREDLOGA and they wrote the TEXT – BESEDILO together. Now Dave just needs to pick them up at the PRINTING HOUSE – TISKARNA and BUY – KUPITI some ENVELOPES – KUVERTE.
