| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Камен (Kamen)'s post. |
| Tanya: Незаменима енергия в Деня на Освобождението (Nezamenima energiya v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) |
| Eric: "Unique energy on the Liberation Day." |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Незаменима енергия в Деня на Освобождението (Nezamenima energiya v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) (Regular) Незаменима енергия в Деня на Освобождението (Nezamenima energiya v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "Unique energy." |
| Tanya: Незаменима енергия (Nezamenima energiya) |
| Eric: Adjectives in Bulgarian change according to gender and number. In the vocabulary, we mentioned only their masculine form, but it’s good practice to repeat all their forms when you’re trying to memorize adjectives. Listen again - "Unique energy " is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) Незаменима енергия (Nezamenima energiya) (REGULAR) Незаменима енергия (Nezamenima energiya) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "on the Liberation Day." |
| Tanya: в Деня на Освобождението (v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) |
| Eric: It’s interesting to know that 30 years passed between the Day of Liberation and the Day of Independence in Bulgaria. However, the Liberation Day is much more festive for a lot of Bulgarians. This is because it’s related to a very dramatic battle, which took place on Shipka Peak. Listen again - "on the Liberation Day" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) в Деня на Освобождението (v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) (REGULAR) в Деня на Освобождението (v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) |
| Eric: Altogether, "Unique energy on the Liberation Day." |
| Tanya: Незаменима енергия в Деня на Освобождението (Nezamenima energiya v Denya na Osvobozhdenieto) |
