loudly, offering their products.Sl: "Moramo narediti nekaj posebnega za predstavitev," je rekla Mateja, medtem ko sta se počasi gibala med stojnicami.En: "We need to do something special for the

reluctantly.Sl: "Dobro, a moramo tudi ponazoriti sezonskost pridelkov in njihov vpliv," je poudaril.En: "Fine, but we also have to illustrate the seasonality of the produce and its impact," he stressed.Sl: "Če nimamo teh podrobnosti, nas bodo lahko vprašanja presenetila.En: "If we don’t have these details, the questions might surprise us."Sl: "Ko sta se vračala s svojimi nakupi, sta začutila nemir.En: As they were returning with their purchases, they felt restless.Sl: Stres tržnice je bil nalezljiv, vendar sta skupaj uspela najti ravnotežje med kreativnostjo in strukturo.En: The stress of the market was contagious, but together they managed to find a balance between creativity and structure.Sl: Na dan predstavitve sta stopila pred razred.En: On the day of the presentation,
