Unlock your Serbian

Danas razgovaramo o jednoj veoma važnoj temi: koja je razlika između reči kuća i dom? Pričamo o tome šta znači osećati se opušteno i sigurno na nekom mestu i delimo sa vama naša iskustva o životu u inostranstvu. Kada se preselite u novu zemlju, morate sve da učite ispočetka, dakle kako da plaćate račune, kako funkcioniše sistem i kako da nađete nove prijatelje. To često nije lako i zahteva mnogo energije.

Hello everyone, I am Nevena.Jelena (00:01) Ja sam Jelena. I am Jelena.Nevena (00:02) I dobrodošli u novu epizodu Unlock Your Serbian sa Jelenom i Nevenom. And welcome to the new episode of Unlock Your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena.Jelena (00:07) Tako je, dobrodošli u još jednu epizodu našeg podcasta i danas razgovaramo o dve reči na srpskom, a to su kuća i dom. Šta znači kada kažemo da se osećamo kao kod kuće? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about two words in Serbian, and those are house and home. What does it mean when we say that we feel at home?Nevena (00:25) Jelena, ti i ja ne živimo u Srbiji. I mnogi ljudi koji nas slušaju takođe ne žive u zemlji gde su se rodili. Dakle, ne žive u zemlji gde su živeli kada su bili deca, kada su bili mali. Možda žive u Srbiji ili žive u drugoj zemlji. I mi često razgovaramo o ovoj temi. Dakle, gde se osećamo kao kod kuće i zašto se osećamo kao kod kuće? Šta ti misliš o ovome i koje su tvoje prve asociacije? Jelena, you and I do not live in Serbia. And many people who listen to us also do not live in the country where they were born. So, they do not live in the country where they lived when they were children, when they were little. Maybe they live in Serbia or they live in another country. And we often talk about this topic. So, where do we feel at home and why do we feel at home? What do you think about this and what are your first associations?Jelena (01:06) Kada kažem da se negde osećam kao kod kuće, to naravno znači da se ja tamo osećam dobro, da se osećam opušteno, nekako relaksirano i da nemam probleme. Da mogu da se ponašam opušteno i da ne razmišljam previše o teškim stvarima, o lošim stvarima ili o problemima. Ja mogu da kažem da se osećam kao kod kuće i kada putujem u inostranstvo i kada sam u Francuskoj i kada sam u nekom drugom gradu u Srbiji. Dakle, to je jedno osećanje. When I say that I feel at home somewhere, that of course means that I feel good there, that I feel relaxed, relaxed somehow and that I don't have problems. That I can behave in a relaxed way and not think too much about difficult things, about bad things or about problems. I can say that I feel at home both when I travel abroad and when I am in France and when I am in some other city in Serbia. So, that is a feeling.Send us your questions!
