Nevena (00:00) Zdravo svima, ja sam Nevena. Hello everyone, I am Nevena.Jelena (00:02)Ja sam Jelena. I am Jelena.Nevena (00:03)I dobro došli u novu epizodu Unlock your Serbian sa Jelenom i Nevenom. And welcome to a new episode of Unlock your Serbian with Jelena and Nevena.Jelena (00:07)Tako je, dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta i mi danas razgovaramo o tabu temama. Šta su to tabu teme i koje su najveće tabu teme u Srbiji? That's right, welcome to another episode of our podcast and today we are talking about taboo topics. What are taboo topics and what are the biggest taboo topics in Serbia?Nevena (00:20)Prvo što mi pada na pamet kad da govorimo o tabu temama, jeste novac. Dakle, koliko u Srbiji ljudi ne vole da razgovaraju o novcu na dubokom nivou, ja mislim, dakle, to je sve okej da kažeš, e nisam... Ha, sada mi pada na pamet jedan lep izraz koji koristimo u slengu, možda je i ranije bio više korišćen, ali i sada. Kažemo, nisam pri kinti.The first thing that comes to my mind when we talk about taboo topics is money. So, how much people in Serbia don't like to talk about money on a deep level, I think, so, it's all okay to say, hey I'm not... Ha, now a nice expression we use in slang comes to mind, maybe it was used more before, but also now. We say, I'm not "pri kinti" (I don't have money).Ili kažemo nisam pri novcu, nisam pri parama. Znači da nemam sada novac za šta god. I dakle, to je nešto što je okej, može da se kaže, ali se dalje od toga ne razgovara o novcu.Or we say "nisam pri novcu", "nisam pri parama". It means I don't have money right now for whatever. And so, that's something that is okay, it can be said, but beyond that, money isn't talked about.Become a member to read the whole transcript!Send us your questions!
