I danas razgovaramo o mišljenjima drugih ljudi iliti šta će komšije da kažu. Nevena, šta znači na srpskom šta će komšije da kažu? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast. And today we are talking about other people's opinions, or "what will the neighbors say." Nevena, what does "what will the neighbors say" mean in Serbian?Nevena (00:24) Ovo je jedna rečenica koju verujem da smo svi u Srbiji čuli pa barem 100.000 puta. Ovo je čuvena rečenica šta će komšije da kažu ili šta će drugi da kažu, takođe, kada razmišljamo o tome da uradimo nešto što možda nije skroz uobičajeno, nešto što nije normalno u smislu da to svi rade i tako dalje. I kada god želimo da malo skrenemo sa tog uobičajenog puta, odmah čujemo rečenicu, a šta će drugi da kažu? I takođe, ovde imamo, nije tačno izraz, ali nešto sto možemo da koristimo kao komentar, šta će da kažu Žika Pera Mika? This is a sentence that I believe we have all heard in Serbia at least 100,000 times. This is the famous sentence "what will the neighbors say" or "what will others say," also, when we think about doing something that maybe isn't completely common, something that isn't normal in the sense that everyone does it, and so on. And whenever we want to stray a little from that usual path, we immediately hear the sentence, "but what will others say?" And also, here we have, not exactly an expression, but something we can use as a comment, "what will Žika, Pera, Mika say?"Jelena (01:20) Zapravo ovaj izraz, Žika, Pera, Mika možemo da koristim u raznim kontekstima. Na primer, kada dođe učenik kući iz škole i kaže roditeljima da je dobio lošu ocenu, a onda kaže da, ali i moji prijatelji su svi dobili loše ocene i onda roditelji kažu, baš me briga šta je dobio Žika, Pera, ne znam još ko. Ovo je definitivno izraz koji možemo da koristimo u bilo kom kontekstu. Ali šta će komšije da kažu ili možemo čak da kažemo: šta će reći narod, je jedan veoma srpski izraz koji sam ja sigurno da ko god da je odrastao u srpskoj porodici je već čuo i ovo je definitivno jedna opsesija ja mislim u našem narodu, dakle kod Srba, o tome da ih neko posmatra i da će neko da jednostavno govori o tome što su oni uradili, kakve su do odluke doneli, i generalno kako se ponašaju. Actually, we can use this expression, Žika, Pera, Mika, in various contexts. For example, when a student comes homSend us your questions!
