Ep.6: Novac

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.

Dobrdan Svima, ya sam Maki.

Dobro jutro Ivana.

Good morning, Ivana.

How are you?

Good, thanks. Good morning.

Good morning, yes.

We are doing this in the morning, so this is our morning voices.

Yes.

Okay. Today we are going to talk about money, and we are going to

have a discussion about how to buy the things or rent the place,

but we don't have enough money, how to save money, and we are going

to give you some nice expressions

to talk about different parts of money and human relationship.

Okay, so Ivana, first question before we start.

Novats ili pare?

Which one do you use?

Novats ili pare?

I think, let me think now.

50-50? Pare. No, maybe.

I'm just thinking now in my mind saying to, for instance,

to my husband, Srdjan, when I ask him, do you have enough money?

Do you have enough money?

Do But actually, I think that I use, as you said, 50-50.

I use Novac also.

So it's not something that you don't, you are, I don't know, think about

that. Just feel it loud, whatever.

Yeah. Nice.

Para is also in Turkish.

So that's why I use it.

Ah, ah. Okay.

Okay. we're going to have the discussion or the dialogue in Serbian first,

and then we will go over it in English as we do always.

And then we are going to talk about some important words.

All right. Let's start.

Let's I wanted to go home with a bus, but I don't have enough

money. How much money do you have?

I have a little extravita, but I don't want to extravita.

I don't want to extravita.

I'm going to extravita.

I'm going to extravita.

I'm going to extravita.

What do you think of money?

I think that a lot of money from traveling, restaurants and friends.

I would better plan the saving money.

Yes, I hope that we won't be a difficult situation.

Again, I will read in Serbian, then I will say in English.

I wanted to know my house with a lot of water, but I don't

have enough money.

That means in English, I wanted to rent a house with a garden close

to a river, but I don't have enough money.

So you said, I don't have enough money.

Yes. It would be, dovoljno para or para?

Dovoljno para. Para, it would be, I again.

I have

a little extra, but I don't want to spend it.

I have small savings, but I don't want to spend it.

Yeah, good idea.

And then I said, I'm also not good at saving.

I said, yeah, I'm not sure how to translate it.

I don't know.

It's OK. Yeah, I'm not good at it.

Yes, yes. I don't know or I'm good at it.

Yes, that's OK in English.

And then I said, Whatever I make, I easily fast spend.

Yes. Now that you are the most likely to get in the oven, I

asked, so it's in English.

What do you spend most of your money on?

And then I said, I think I spend a lot of money on travel,

restaurants and

loaning or giving some loans to my friends.

So, I think that a lot of money will come to travel, restaurants and

to spend friends.

We should be better to plan spending money on.

Yes, what to spend on, right?

Yes. And then I said, so, yeah, that's right.

I hope we will not be...

That's a difficult word to...

We will not be too stingy, I guess.

But I don't want to repeat it.

It's a word expression in Serbian.

Actually, also for me, it's a very strange word in English

because I didn't use it so much explaining the character of the people.

We use that when we want to explain that somebody doesn't want to spend

money and if he has enough or he has a lot of money and he

just put the money in the pockets and doesn't want to pay anything

and always calculate how much money he has

or how much money he will spend.

That kind of character is the, when you explain titia, actually.

Okay, so titia by itself is a word.

It's a word.

So teshka is just an adjective to say.

Yes.

It's really hardcore.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

We can say instead of the teshka,

we can say also velika, big.

We can say Veliqa tzitzia also.

Okay, good to know.

I thought that's an expression together, like colloquial together.

Okay, good to know.

Can we say like a little bit of tzitzia?

Like small cizia?

No, no, because cizia already means something bigger, something huge,

meaning, you know, you cannot be small cizia.

You can be just a cizia or big cizia or teška cizia, as you

said. You can be just bigger or bigger.

All right, good.

And dovolno nocza.

So dovolno is normally enough, right?

Yes.

and the one that doesn't have the page here it's

not the one now for example no no it's not double

no no no say no it doesn't have yeah it will be just double

no no and then you use imam

So, ušte djevina means saving, right?

Savings, yes.

So, we use mala ušte djevina, velika ušte djevina, right?

Yes, we can use it, yes.

Small, yes, small, big, yes, it is mala and velika.

That's a good, yeah.

Okay, also I saw životna ušte djevina.

Yeah, life yeah yes yes yeah we talked about life savings when we

want to go to the bank and sign some agreement or some kind of

contract with some insurance company

or something like that life is savings but you can also say life saving

is something that you

you save money for something by yourself just in cash or something for some

yeah that's okay good And this Umeti, Umeti, that I was having difficulty

in explaining.

It's like, how would you say it, the first thing comes to your mind

when you say Umem?

Neznam, I don't know.

That will be my, I don't know how to do something.

Okay, good. And Umesh is also common, right?

Because I hear Umem more than Umesh, I think.

Umem is, yeah, we use Umeti.

connected with something that you know or you can do.

Something like that.

I know how to cook, for instance.

Okay, good. And when you used about saving, you said

But in my sentence, I said, sve što zaradim, kurzo potrošim.

So I did not use trošim, but potrošim.

Because it's a bit different, right?

Trošiti and potrošiti.

It's a little bit different, yes.

What does it mean?

Trošiti means, okay, you are spending, spending like you're always spending some money.

but if you potrosh it means that you already done that you are run

of money

out

so that's a perfective

imperfective

yes

so if you already finish it

you say potrosh

but if you spend in general you will say

focusing on the end the sad end

you just say potrosh Yes, yes, yes, that's true.

Okay. And then zaraditi.

So radim is I work, but zaraditi is something different, right?

So zaraditi I make in this case.

I make, yes, I earn.

I earn. Yes.

Okay, good. And pozay mitze.

Pozay mitzi is to lend money or to lend?

in general to land in general uh you can yeah i actually uh probably

uh what is the word in

english for posa it's like a noun it's like a noun actually uh

it's like the now from the

noun we have posaimity meaning the verb to land because i meet the person

or is the activity like It's a, posamita is the noun.

Is the money borrowing or loan maybe?

Loan, loan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It could be loan, yeah.

And posamita could be used for banks as well?

Yes, yes, it could be.

Perfect.

Yes. All right.

We covered all the words, I guess. Nice.

So let's go again from the beginning.

And because we are going from the beginning, you just, you asked me at

Yes.

the beginning and now it comes to my mind.

when you ask me is naimiti yes you rent the house but also i

can i said i can rent to my friend like

when i want to rent to someone else but we also said the word

in serbian is is that it

is naimiti and is that it i give da yes it is but i

will also in english it will also be the rent I rent to my

friends. But I can say, I rent my place to

my friend.

And also, I'm the same.

I see. I'm saying, I'm the same.

Najmi ti izdati.

Okay, perfect. I want to go to my house with a bar.

Ok, perfect.

A idemo.

Htela sam da iznemim kuću sa baštom blizu reki, ali nemam dovoljno novca.

Koliko novca imaš?

Imam malu ušteđivinu, ali ne želim da je trošim.

Ja također ne umem da štetim.

Sve što zaradim, burzo potrošim.

Našto ti najčešće odlazi novac?

Mislim da mi mnogo novca odlazi na putovanje, restorane i pozajmit se prijateljima.

Trebalo bi bolje da planiramo trošenje novca.

Tako je. Nadam se da nećemo biti teške Citi.

Citiya.

Hvašo je njegovat kada ti Citiya?

No.

I'm not sure.

Njegovat kada je njegovat kadaj.

Ja. Njegovat kada je nemaj oči kadaj.

Njegovat kadaj je njegovat kadaj.

Hvala Citiya, kadaj, teške.
