may have missed.

Speaker 1: Namies chief pradrivjevot set the ova and praska ni plameno.

51
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,319
Speaker 3: In the deserted square in the heart of post apocalyptic Brob,

52
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,000
where life once bustled, now only the crackling of flames

53
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,879
could be heard.

54
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:12,040

56
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 3: It was an autumn afternoon, and the trees around the

57
00:06:20,079 --> 00:06:23,199
square had lost most of their leaves. The remaining ones

58
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,480
trembling in the cold.

59
00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:30,959
Speaker 1: Wind, costrebudov vralistin in nascoping cooligis romage geno colem.

60
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: The skeletons of buildings cast shadows on a group of

61
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,399
people gathered around the fire.

62
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:44,759

64
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:51,879
Speaker 3: It was the day of the dead, and broy Yuri

65
00:06:51,959 --> 00:06:55,279
and Petra stood silently, each with their own thoughts and memories.

66
00:06:55,959 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: Borivoi mouges prochegivii me vla alima zem ye rubime a

68
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: Boor boy. A man with graying hair and deep eyes,

69
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,759
added the last pieces of wood to the fire with

70
00:07:15,839 --> 00:07:17,279
his rough yet gentle fingers.

71
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,319
Speaker 1: Yeho missi semi hal o brazi ostrazendine.

72
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,759
Speaker 3: Images of his lost family flickered through his mind.

73
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: Tell usti pamatku zappalidsvicomin teri ushneg xistoval.

74
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:41,759
Speaker 3: He wanted to honor their memory, light candles and immerse

75
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:44,120
those memories in a world that no longer existed.

76
00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:53,199
Speaker 1: Ji hoststatni soshvedo mi jellidetu neso bezduvodo.

77
00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,319
Speaker 3: In silence. He looked at the others, conscious that they

78
00:07:56,319 --> 00:07:57,839
were not there without reason.

79
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:03,959
Speaker 1: Potval naid spozikit genzustel sam.

80
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,079
Speaker 3: He needed to find a connection to feel that he

81
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,160
was not left alone.

82
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:18,319
Speaker 1: Petra mala da genas resavi vla ostragt dem sedra opodal.

83
00:08:19,399 --> 00:08:22,199
Speaker 3: Petrup, a young woman with reddish hair and a weary look,

84
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:23,439
sat a bit apart.

85
00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:28,959
Speaker 1: Nestla osti reni du verustratira usdavno.

86
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: She wasn't interested in sharing. She had lost trust long ago.

87
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: Yire munira mene sledoval.

88
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: Borivoevie Yuri, a man with broad shoulders, watched burr carefully.

89
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:52,159
Speaker 1: Podva l mininov tomtoswet a nigro s nemorbi ti sti

91
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 3: Okamjik Suspicion was a common currency in this world, and

92
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,559
no one could be sure what the next moment would bring.

93
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: Borivo obrachio sic scup Borvo breathed deeply and turned to

94
00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:15,799

96
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:35,000
the nesvene natuto vili ale ironrov pronu alasseni ale Odrodlani.

97
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,159
Speaker 3: Tonight we'll light the fire, not just for this moment,

98
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:42,080
but also for our loved ones, he said, his voice

99
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,200
shaken but determined.

100
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: Ves nedustatkuvigil yekmoz nabitkaznamena.

101
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: In a world full of shortages, he knew how much

102
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,639
his offer meant.

103
00:09:55,279 --> 00:09:58,639
Speaker 1: Petra airise Vali.

104
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,159
Speaker 3: And Yuri exchanged glances.

105
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: Viros chijorel strasnai.

106
00:10:08,879 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: A long silence grew, where fear simmered with.

107
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:18,639
Speaker 1: Hope spolenchi zamum la rio verruco.

108
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: Together it's easier. Yuri finally mumbled and extended his hand.

109
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: To brovoyo classique plamenum plamen olizo drevo asapny.

110
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,879
Speaker 3: When Broy placed a stick on the flames, the flame

111
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,399
licked the wood and flared.

112
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: Brighter strachsischi alekos.

113
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,879
Speaker 3: Perhaps it was a minor miracle or just luck, but

114
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,120
that evening it was like a light in the darkness.

115
00:10:55,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: Dl chi clasiku opchasn slovos nae modrid be.

116
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,919
Speaker 3: Other hands found the courage to add to the sticks,

117
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,720
and occasional words sounded like quiet prayers a ek.

118
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: Oen silil lide st LiTi a spomini nad catastrofo.

119
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 3: And as the fire grew stronger, people drew closer, sharing

120
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:31,519
stories of their deceased and remembering the time before the catastrophe.

121
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:38,799
Speaker 1: Nadezefra de la mesign ki ale virasni.

122
00:11:38,159 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: De hope crept among them like a gentle yet distinct

123
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,000
breath of autumn.

124
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:52,399
Speaker 1: Borivo kil xemivi positsna Spoi.

125
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 3: Berger felt a warm feeling of belonging and connection, returning

126
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:57,600
to his.

127
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: Heart monabl tinosvirsbti Aletajikova vilravdova.

128
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:10,279
Speaker 3: Maybe this world was broken, but that moment was real.

129
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:18,039
Speaker 1: Poo pel jig jiedl neen viho missli ale ivsdileni slov

131
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: He understood that his family lived on, not only in

132
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,600
his mind, but also in the shared words and warm flames.

133
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: Haale last.

134
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: When night deeply enveloped the remains of brab the fires

135
00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:41,759
blazed brighter than ever before.

136
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:55,159
Speaker 1: Spolechnim u sirim sevesvikvina caj dirispilk obvive for militzti Terrastratsela s.

137
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: Through a joint effort, a new sense of hope was

138
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,639
born in the world, each person contributing to the renewal

139
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,320
of that fleeting form of humanity that was losing its

140
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:08,399
shape in dark times.

141
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: Borivovido mil ji, igniswit morpad not hollo, bocasila lzkerospogest lesvikitestu,

143
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 3: Broi realized that even though the world might have fallen,

144
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:29,080
the deep power of human connection can still light the

145
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,080
way to another dawn.

146
00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:40,039
Speaker 2: Today's vocabulary words are coming up right after this commercial break.

147
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,200
Here are today's vocabulary words, first in check, then in English.
