Ep.3: Lični ukusi

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.

Dobro dažli Sivima.

Ja sam Maki.

Iyi. Ivana. Kakos Ivana.

Dobro, hvala. Ivan, hvala puno na pitanju.

So today we are going to talk about our personal interests, our likes.

Yes. Licni ucusi.

Right.

Brao. Yes. That literally means personal interests.

Personal tastes, maybe.

Right? Ucusi. Maybe.

Nice. Yes.

Taste.

Yeah, it could be.

Yeah.

That's nice. So I will be asking her to give me some recommendations about

And we will have conversation again, a short dialogue, and we will read it

first. Let's see how much you understand, and then we will translate it for

you, and then we will have a little bit of discussion about some words

that are interesting, and then we will read it again.

All right. Let's go.

to be weird.

He loves jazz.

He listens to home when he does.

Super. Can you give me a good book?

I am interested in srpskis.

I read the book on Drini Čuprije.

Ive Andrića. Andrića.

I can't, but I can't read many of our pieces.

I love romances about the lives of people in the dark and the world

I've never been.

If I'm interested, I can recommend you to take some of them.

For example, Lovac na Zmajeve, A planine od Jeknuše, Hila da Hoseinija.

Thank you for the support.

Za preporuku. Dalje ste gledali neki dobar film u posljednje vreme?

Do you have watched a good film in the last time?

Ja najviše volim da gledam trilere i filmove inspirisane stvarnim događajima.

I love the thrillers and films inspired by the real ones.

I gledali smo Plivačice, na engleskom The Swimmers, film je biografska drama od dve

serijske sestre Plivačice koje 2015.

beže iz rodnog grada Damaska o njihovom izbjegličkom putu do Grčke i učestvuju na

olimpijadi u Riju.

Zvuci interesantno. Gledočuga.

Ok, that was the conversation.

I know Ivana's recommendations are long,

but they are very useful

for catching some new words

and seeing some padži in it.

Let's start from the beginning.

I said,

Jucis sam bila na koncertu

rock muzike i divno sam se provala.

So I was in a

I mi je toga mi je toga.

Doi u Svomse Pravele?

Yes. I u sada?

I u sada,

You did not say I like, you said I love.

That's what we talked

just before this.

The difference between like

and love in Serbian also.

I like it and love.

How did you say it in Serbian again?

In Serbian again, great.

And then I got curious about Srdjan's taste.

He loves jazz, he usually listens to his house while he works.

That means in English, he enjoys jazz.

Usually he listens while he works at home.

Yes, usually is usual there.

Yes.

And then I said, great, super.

And I asked if you have any book recommendation for me,

or if you can recommend me any good book.

And I said, Serbian authors interest me.

And I said, I read The Bridge on Drini by Ivo Andrić.

So how did I say this?

I said, super.

If you can give me a good book, I love Serbsk

pizza.

And then I said, why?

Pitala sam knjigu na Derenje Čuprija i ve Andrića.

Yes, great. Okay, now my answer is yes, I can, but I don't read

so much Serbian writers.

I like novels about people lives in some distant countries that they have never

been. Yes, from there I think we should, because you have a long answer,

maybe sentence by sentence.

Yes, yes. So, mogu naravno, ali ne čita mnogo naše pise.

Ja volim romane o životima ljudi u nekim dalekim zemljama u kojima nikada nisam

bila. Nice. So, actually you said, ali ne čita mnogo naše pise, so I

don't read our writers much.

Yes, our. That means naše pise.

Naše pise. Okay, good.

And then you continued?

Ja volim romane o životima ljudi u nekim dalekim zemljama u kojima nikada nisam

bila. So I like novels about people's lives in some different countries.

Where I have never been.

U kojima nikada nisam bila.

And then you used if you like it.

If you're interested in that

or if you like it, yes.

We both. I can

recommend some of them

such as The Kite

Runner. That's the name of

the books now.

A Thousand Splendid

Suns and the Mountains

Ehod. All from the same writer Halid Hoseini.

Okay. In Serbian, you said?

Ako te to zanima, mogu da ti preporučim neki od njih, na primer, Lovac

na zmajeve, A planina od Jeknuše, Hiljadu čudesnih sunaca, sve od istog pisa Halida

Hoseinija. Nice. And of course, I didn't want to ask

difficult questions I just said.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Hvala za preporuku.

And I ask if you have seen any good film lately, like,

da li ste gledali neki dobar film u posljedne vreme?

I most like thrillers and movies inspired by true stories.

And we have watched The Swimmers.

Here, watch the swimmers in Serbian.

Mi Srbijan, ja najviše volim thrillere

I love thrillers and films inspired by real events.

i filmove inspirisane stvarnim događajima

i gledali smo Plivačice.

We watched the plivačice.

And then you explain what this film is about, saying this is a biographical

drama, right? Yes, about two sisters, swimmers, that 2015 flee

from their hometown Damask about their refugee journey to Greece and their participation at

the Olympic Games in Rio.

Serbia, yes. Film je biografska drama o dve sirijske sestre-plivačice

koje 2015. beže iz rodnog grada Damaska

o njihovom izbegličkom putu do Grčke i učestvovanju na olimpijadi u Riju.

Okay, we will dive into that later.

And I said, that sounds interesting.

Zvuci interessantno. Yes.

And I'll watch it.

Gleda, chuga.

Okay. That's it.

So, in your last long sentence, you said, film

je biografska drama.

O. O is about or on.

Right, in English.

Yes. So, you put...

It could be, yes, you know why?

Because it's a very long sentence, yes.

And I started with film Je Biografska Drama,

and now I wanted to explain about, as you said, o.

Then I continue again, as you said, o.

Njiho Misbekličkom put about their refugee journey and participation on

Olympic Games in Rio.

I could use O again, but it will be so much O in one

long sentence. So it's completely correct to put N participation at the end of

this long sentence.

Okay. Nice. Zvucce is nice because we use it.

It sounds good.

Zvucce dobro, zvucce lepo, zvucce intrasantno.

We use it that way.

And as we discussed, ja volim i sviđam se.

So basically, I love versus I like, right?

Yes. For example, proleće is coming soon, like spring.

And I would say ja volim proleće, right?

Yes. You wouldn't say sviđam se proleće.

That means very strange in Serbian.

yes you use correct better word not better correct word yes i like or

i love yes the other

one yeah i if you are sure you like something really like something to

be on the safe side

you use volume yeah yes nice and another beautiful word

that i also use luckily even though it's hard It's a little bit hard

to say in the beginning.

Obožava te. So, obožava.

It's a really nice word, yes.

Yes. And do you know my, do you remember my line that whenever I

meet someone new, I say this.

Obožavam da živim u Kruševcu.

Something similar, but it's also now I can say it better, but I learned

obožavam život ovde.

Ah, okay.

That's the shorter, yeah, okay.

There was no podizji, nothing.

But now I can say,

I live in Korshivu or in Serbia.

Yes, in Serbia.

Okay. And I wanted to a little bit explain the pronouns,

like me, mene.

So when we talked about, when I said I have some interest in Serbian.

Mene zanimaju serbski pizzi.

Yes. I started with mene.

That means I'm giving some stress on me.

Like to me, they are really interesting.

Like I find them interesting.

Yes.

So mene. But in another way, we can also say zanimaju me serbski pizzi.

Right. Yes. you're not emphasizing me in that sentence you just say i'm interested

in which is okay completely

like uh you don't want to stress me yeah but for example both

is correct actually yeah okay

and then you said if that interests you

right in this case would you also say

again, both are correct

but it's more informal

it will be like again, you want to stress

like you are maybe

some important person

or somebody that you don't know

more

depends with whom you speak both of them are grammatically correct.

They mean the same thing.

And then when you talked about the films that you love, in English you Okay.

would say, like, I love thrillers the most, right?

But in Serbian, again, because of the stress maybe,

you say, ja najviše volim thrillere.

Aha, da. So najviše comes before the verb, right?

yes it comes before like that i most like like that yes and i

wish volume i i want to stress yes

what i really really yes really like nice and then you used tvarnim

dogadjajima dogadjaj i learned this

like a few months ago that means event events

dogadjaji now this is in plural yeah tvarni dogadžaji, real events.

here, and we talked about But

movies that inspired by

in English, it will be true stories,

but we will not say in Serbian realne priče.

So we used stvarni dogadžaji.

Real events. Yeah.

Very nice. And gledaj ću ga, I said, I will watch it.

That go refers to film.

Like I will watch it.

Yes. So for it, we use go.

But if that it was a female word, like keniga, then it would.

Chita chou ye.

Glad to chou ye.

Yes. Depending on what kind of it you're saying, you choose go or ye.

Okay.

Perfect. Thank you so much.

Let's read it one more time.

in a normal pace and then we finish.

It's a jazz jazz.

You usually listen to the house while you're working.

Great. Can you give me a good book?

I'm interested in Serbian writing.

I've read the book on the Dreni Čuprija, Ive Andriće.

I can't read it, but I can't read it.

Hvala za preporuku.

Dalje ste gledali neki dobar film u posljedne vreme?
