| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Яна (Yana)'s post. |
| Tanya: Заложници на бурния вятър вече два часа (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar veche dva chasa) |
| Eric: "Hostages of the stormy winds for two hours now." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Заложници на бурния вятър вече два часа (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar veche dva chasa) (Regular) Заложници на бурния вятър вече два часа (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar veche dva chasa) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Hostages of the stormy winds." |
| Tanya: Заложници на бурния вятър (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar) |
| Eric: “Hostage” is a common word to use in Bulgaria, when extreme weather conditions make people feel helpless and restrained to a specific place - a hut in a mountain, the station, and so on. Listen again - "Hostages of the stormy winds" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Заложници на бурния вятър (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar) (REGULAR) Заложници на бурния вятър (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "for two hours now." |
| Tanya: вече два часа (veche dva chasa) |
| Eric: Numbers one and two are special in Bulgarian, as they change according to gender. When it comes to "two," you can use… |
| Tanya: две (dve) |
| Eric: ...for feminine and neuter. Then we have... |
| Tanya: два (dva) |
| Eric: ...for nouns in masculine. To say “two males” you can use… |
| Tanya: двама (dvama). |
| Eric: Listen again - "for two hours now" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) вече два часа (veche dva chasa) (REGULAR) вече два часа (veche dva chasa) |
| Eric: Altogether, "Hostages of the stormy winds for two hours now." |
| Tanya: Заложници на бурния вятър вече два часа (Zalozhnitsi na burniya vyatar veche dva chasa) |
