Ep.8: Ljubav prema životinjama

Welcome to Možekova podcast.

I am Maki.

This season of our podcast is a bit different from the previous ones.

I have another friend, also called Ivana, joining me to have short dialogues in

Serbian. Then we will explain them in English.

This new season will be like mini Serbian lessons.

So if you are ready, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the podcast.

Здраво с вами!

Я сам Маки.

Я сам Ивана.

Добре дошла, Ивана.

Today we are going to talk about something we both love, we both are

crazy about, animals, actually love for animals, right?

Yes. And we are going to talk about what we watch on social media.

We will ask each other questions about how we love watching animal videos, and

then we share our ideas about animals and then we will describe even as

dogs and then we will translate everything into English later and we will of

course give you some nice vocabulary.

Okay yes. Let's go.

Let's go. What are the most popular videos you watch on Instagram?

I'm listening to videos on the lives of my life, especially on the cats.

Ja govoreći, gledam videoklipove o životinjama, posebno o mačkama.

And you? I'm listening to videos on the sim. A ti? Isto, gledam uglavnom videoklipove o psima.

Po mom mišljenju, životinje su najbolje stvar na svetu.

U pravusi, što se mene tiče ljubav prema životinjama nema granica.

Stvarno nema. Imaš dva preslatka zlatna redrivera.

Kako se zovu?

Astor i Atos.

Obojica su usvojeni psi, tako su prijateljski raspoloženi i mirni.

Znam, zaljubljen sam o njih.

Ok, to je to većo.

To je tvoje što ti dvije je 100% vero.

To je to nije nekako se učinjeni.

Znam, kako je imeljati, Ivana?

I znamo s...

Kaj video klipu li se sviđa na Instagramu?

Kje videoklipove najviše gledaš na Instagramu?

Iskreno govoreći, gledam videoklipove o životinijama, posebno o mačkama.

And then, how about you, a tea?

The same, I watch mainly about dogs.

Isto, gledam u glavnom videoklipove o psima.

I watch the video clips of dogs.

Yeah, and then I said, in my opinion, animals are the best things in

Ja. I onda mi mi dosta,

življenje je najboljih.

the world. So, in my opinion, life is the best thing in the world.

You are right.

As far as I am concerned, love for animals has no boundaries.

You are right.

What I do, love for animals has no limits.

Yeah, and then I agreed with the different forms this time.

Really, there isn't.

Stvarno nema. And then I asked, I said, you have two very sweet golden

retrievers. How are they called?

Imaš tva presladka zlatno retrivere.

Kako se zovu?

Aster and Atos, both of them are adopted dogs.

They are so friendly and calm dogs.

Aster and Atos, both are their dogs, so they are friendly and peaceful.

And I said, I know, I am in love with them.

So I know, I am loved by them.

Okay, so we had, Ivana and I had a discussion about how to say

videos. in Serbian because that's an English word borrowed from English, right?

Video. And but seeing only video was not enough, right?

So we needed to say video cinema care or video clip over, something like

that, right? Yes, yes.

We agreed actually that Serbian, as many languages adopted so many English words with

these new technologies.

So we agreed that we can say video clips.

Yeah. Yeah. So that's why it's a bit longer yes and gladati

is to watch right gladash whatever you watch on social media or on tv

it's going to be gladda yes and i said is greener govoreci that

that suffix chi uh do i say it right Yes, govoreci.

So by doing, to tell the truth in English, by actually saying the truth

in Serbian. Yes.

Skreno means sincerely actually.

Sincerely, that you are really honestly or something like that.

Ah, sincerely, okay.

Skreno. Without any, you know, without any scriven thoughts actually.

Honestly. Honestly, yes.

And I'm looking at the clip about life.

This o is about, right?

About, yes. Or on.

So, jivotin yama, that yama is because of o, and in the title also

prema jivotin yama.

So that's because of the padiji, it becomes ama ending, which we will see.

Yes. O maçka ma, o psma, the same ending.

Sima, yes. Sima, for sharing your opinion, you can say Po, Mom, Mishlienu,

right? Yes, Po, Mom, Mishlienu, that means, as you said, according to this only,

something like that.

In my opinion.

Mishlienu is opinion already, right?

Yes, yes.

And I learned today that Spar is actually a feminine word.

The best thing, Naibor is Spar.

Yes. And similar to Po mon myšljenju, we have also Što se mene tiče.

Yes, Što se mene tiče.

You can use both sentences or Po mon myšljenju.

Interchangeable, right. I'm thinking should I say something especially for this type

of sentence or not, But no it doesn't doesn't find which which you you

will use actually exactly but it means like it seems to me that right

seems to me teacher is like looks like yes all right it looks like

yeah yeah yeah it's much more um uh how can i say this is

informal for my mission this other can be more formal i think yeah yeah

because it's like yeah yeah yeah yeah i know and granita

that means boundaries also that means border right also yeah granita yes it means

border between uh states or between yeah uh but also boundaries means also grants

in this sense of something that some boundaries yes exactly because i know granita

from while traveling in the Balkans.

Yeah. Tissue granice.

Passive corners. Yes.

So when you want to agree with someone, there are different ways, of course,

but one of the most common ones, I think, is like repeating what the

other person says.

So you said, And I just said, And

you emphasize that, because you didn't say You said stvarno

nema. You just wanted to emphasize that really that's true, that you're also thinking

like that. Yeah, exactly.

And one of the most useful prefixes is pre.

If you put pre in front of any adjective, that means too, too much.

Slatka, sweet doesn't sound like enough.

You can say pre-slatka.

So, the first thing I used was pre-malo because I speak Serbian very little.

I wasn't like pre-malo, but now I can say pre-dobro.

Pre-dobro, I don't know, does it work with dobro as well?

It goes, but we are not using so much pre-dobro, yeah.

Yeah, with other...

Yeah, you can use it with something other that speaks dobro, dosta dobro, pretty

enough, something like that.

yeah that's true so we talked about us so they are

adopted dogs you said who's boy and if see

who's way and is adopted adopted yes yeah it's also can it can be

used also for the children of course i just wanted to mention i was

gonna yeah so for example my my cat is a female and if i

want My cat is adopted, so my mother is an established mother.

Yes, mother is a woman.

You don't care to repeat the mother.

My mother is a woman.

Exactly, a woman.

Friendly is a bit long word in Serbian.

Friendly. Friendly.

Yeah, but .

Isn't it together?

Yeah, you added actually the adverb to the noun.

.

It's okay, yeah, it sounds normal for the Serbian, yeah.

Could I also use just .

Yes, you can.

Yeah, yeah. Okay, good.

all right because i was trying to use both of them together and i

said

so because i'm female i said but if i was a male i would

say

okay good and yeah miran is peaceful so mirney plural miran Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Here, Zalübne nasam unih.

Okay, that means I'm in love with them.

But to fall in love is something else, right?

You need seh.

Yes, you need seh.

Zalübne nasam unih.

Yeah, that means fall in love in something or somebody.

We need seh.

That's like we said reflexive verbs.

Yeah. But should I have said it here?

Zalübne nasam seh unih or not?

That means, aha.

If you said that I love them, that will be like

a past tense.

That means that you already done that.

Yeah, that's the verb.

Yeah, Yes, that's different.

Yeah. This is adjective.

Yes, yes. That's different.

I see. So the verb form, Zalubi to say, if you want to say

I've fallen in love or I fell in love, then you need to use

se. Yeah. Yes.

Right. Okay. These reflexive verbs are too many in Serbian.

Yes. Virtually. But after some point you get used to them.

Yes. Yeah. Practice will help you.

Yes.

And I wanted to ask one more thing.

So, jivotinia is animal.

But pet. as it is different in English, it's also different in Serbian.

Right? Pets, how do we say pets?

Pets, we say kucni ljubimsi, that's two words actually.

But already we adopted it as you might see on some shops.

Sometimes we put pet shop, really.

It means very funny, but actually we adopted that word like pet shop.

because I think it's shorter.

Now you have to explain.

The pet is actually kućni ljubimci.

Pet is actually in the plural.

Kuchni Ljubimci. So we said Radnja za Kuchni Ljubimce, pet shop.

There's so many words.

Yeah, you're right.

And in English it's only two.

Yeah, but one pet would be...

Kuchni Ljubimac. Ljubimac.

I was going to say it.

Kuchni part I wasn't sure because Kuchni...

It's the same.

Kuchni Ljubimac. Love, love.

It doesn't matter.

It's a male word, plural form, love.

Yes. Okay, good.

Let's start from the beginning and read one more time.

Who are the most watching on Instagram?

I'm honestly saying, I watch videos on animals, especially on cats.

And you?

Same. I watch the most videos on cats.

In my opinion, animals are the best things in the world.

You're right. What I think is love against animals, there is no limit.

Really, there is no limit.

You have two sweet sweet retrievers.

What do you call it?

Astor and Athos.

Both are their dogs.

They are placed comfortably and peaceful.

I know. I am loved by them.

Okay, thank you so much.

So, let us know what animals are you obsessed with, what are you watching

on YouTube or Instagram or TikTok.

And feel free to share if you have any favorite animal videos.

We would not be bored of watching them.

Right, Ivana? Of course.

We will enjoy it.

It's great to say, never.
