Slovak lesson1. svätý Mikuláš (Saint Nicholas)2. anjel / anjeli (angel)3. čert /certi (devil)4. čižmy (boots)5. čistiť si čižmy (clean the boots)6. dobroty (goodies)7. parapet (window sill)8. podvečer (the Eve or early evening)9. maškrty (treats)10. uhlie (coal)11. žiadna sranda (no fun)12. To nie je žiadna sranda! (This is no fun at all!)Dialogue “On the Eve of Svätý Mikuláš”Ferko: Babka, prečo si musím na Mikuláša čistiť čižmy? Nemôže mi tie dobroty dať len tak na parapet? Babka: Ferko, to je tradícia čistiť si čižmy v podvečer svätého Mikuláša. Prejavuje to úctu k svätému Mikulášovi a on ti na oplátku nechá nejaké maškrty. Ferko: Ale ja ich nechcem čistiť. Som dieťa a to nie je to žiadna sranda! Babka: Ferko, ak si nevyčistíš čižmy, Mikuláš ťa vôbec nenavštívi. A vieš čo sa stane potom?Ferko: Čo? (What?)Babka: Namiesto neho príde čert a ten nenosí žiadne dobroty. Iba uhlie.Ferko (znepokojene): Iba uhlie? To neznie vôbec dobre. Babka: Nie, neznie. Tak čo, ideš si tie čižmy vyčistiť alebo nie!?Ferko: Dobre, dobre, už idem. Ale čo mi dá Mikuláš do čižiem? Dúfam, že je to niečo, čo sa mi naozaj páči.Babka: Vo vyčistených čižmách Mikuláš necháva väčšinou pomaranč, banán a trochu čokolády.Ferko: Uf, ja nechcem pomaranč ani banán. Chcem iPhone!Babka: (smiech) No, Ferko, iPhone je trochu priveľa. Ak ho chceš, musíš vyčistiť nielen svoje čižmy, ale aj všetky čižmy a topánky pre všetkých ľudí v našom meste!Ferko: (zamyslene) Myslím, že potom ostanem pri pomaranči, banáne a čokoláde.Babka: To je múdra voľba, Ferko. V živote si treba vedieť vážiť aj drobné radosti, tak ako to robí Mikuláš. A teraz tie čižmy, dobre?Ferko: Veď už idem.Timestamps00:34 Introduction to the episode03:36 About St. Mikuláš and the celebration06:16 Fun fact11:31 Slovak lesson vocabulary16:17 Dialogue23:05 Final thoughtsIf you have any questions, send it to my email [email protected].
