| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "to a baroque concert." |
| Tanya: на бароков концерт (na barokov kontsert) |
| Eric: Listening to classical music is not that popular in Bulgaria, but it’s always considered a sign of good taste. Classical music concerts, as well as theater performances, traditionally start between 6 to 7 p.m. Therefore, they often take place on working weekdays and are a possible pastime at the end of the working day. Listen again - "to a baroque concert" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) на бароков концерт (na barokov kontsert) (REGULAR) на бароков концерт (na barokov kontsert) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "during the workweek." |
| Tanya: през седмицата (prez sedmitsata) |
| Eric: Friday and Saturday nights are usually the days when people in Bulgaria go clubbing at night, as they can sleep late on the next day. Bulgarian people often enjoy a Sunday evening by having social events, such as the theater, meetups, professional gatherings, or dinner with friends. Listen again - "during the workweek" is... |
| Tanya: (SLOW) през седмицата (prez sedmitsata) (REGULAR) през седмицата (prez sedmitsata) |
| Eric: Altogether, "To a baroque concert on a workday" |
| Tanya: На бароков концерт през седмицата (Na barokov kontsert prez sedmitsata) |
