Zdravo svima, ja sam Nevena.
Hello everyone, I’m Nevena.

I dobrodošli 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 (00:08)
Dobro došli u još jednu epizodu našeg podkasta. I danas razgovaramo o tome šta ljudi u Srbiji vole da jedu.
Welcome to another episode of our podcast. And today we’re talking about what people in Serbia like to eat.
Nevena (00:19)
Samo da napomenemo, ako zvučimo malo drugačije, to je zato što danas snimamo malo ranije nego što snimamo inače. Možemo da kažemo našim slušaocima da uvek snimamo prepodne, ali to je u određeno vreme, uglavnom 9 ili 10 ujutru, a sad smo morale da snimamo sad vremena ranije, tako da smo malo još uvek pospane.
Just to mention, if we sound a bit different, that’s because today we’re recording a bit earlier than usual.
We can tell our listeners that we always record in the morning, but at a specific time, usually around 9 or 10 a.m., and now we had to record a few hours earlier, so we’re still a bit sleepy.
Jelena (00:44)
Tako je, i dalje se budimo i pijemo prvu kafu, tako da evo možete i vi da se budite sa nama ako nas slušate ujutru, idete na posao. I mi danas razgovaramo o ovoj temi, koja je u suštini vezana za srpski mentalitet. I pre nego što smo počele da snimamo, ja sam spomenula Neveni da je danas kada mi ovo snimamo, danas i 20. januar, jedna velika slava u Srbiji, koja se zove Sveti Jovan, to je slava moje porodice. I takođe sam rekla Neveni da mi spremamo sada jedno jelo koje se zove pihtije. Ne znam da li je neko od vas probao ili čuo za pihtije. Mi možemo ukratko da objasnimo šta je ovo, ovo je jedno tradicionalno jelo i rekla bih da ga uglavnom vole ljudi starijih generacija. Da li znaš šta su pihtije u suštini Nevena?
That’s right, we’re still waking up and drinking our first coffee, so you can wake up with us if you’re listening in the morning while going to work.
Today we’re talking about a topic that’s basically connected to the Serbian mentality. And before we started recording, I mentioned to Nevena that today, when we’re recording this, it’s January 20th, a big religious celebration in Serbia called Saint John’s Day, which is my family’s slava.
I also told Nevena that we’re preparing a dish called pihtije. I don’t know if any of you have tried or heard of pihtije. We can briefly explain what it is – it’s a traditional dish, and I’d say it’s mostly liked by older generations. Do you know what pihtije are, Nevena?
