DIALOGUE
Katka: Ahoj, Jana! Vieš, že zajtra je Svetový deň vegetariánov? (Hi, Jana! Do you know that tomorrow is World Vegetarian Day?)
Jana: Áno? To som nevedela. Ty si vegetariánka, však? (Really? I didn't know that. You are a vegetarian, right?)
Katka: Áno, som. Už niekoľko rokov. (Yes, I am. For several years now.)
Jana: To je pecka! (That’s awesome!) Čo si dáš na oslavu svojho dňa? (What will you eat / have to celebrate your day?)
Katka: Asi zeleninové rizoto alebo cestoviny s hubami. Sú veľmi chutné. (Probably vegetable risotto or pasta with mushrooms. They are very tasty.)
Jana: Ja mám rada mäso. Neviem, či by som mohla byť vegetariánka. (I like meat. I don't know if I would be a vegetarian.)
Katka: Nemusíš byť vegetariánka! Skús len nejaké vegetariánske jedlo. (You don't have to be a vegetarian! Just try one vegetarian meal.)
Jana: Napríklad čo? (Like what?)
Katka: Môžeš skúsiť zemiakové placky, fazuľovú polievku alebo bryndzové halušky bez slaniny. (You can try potato pancakes, bean soup, or bryndza halušky without bacon.)
Jana: Bryndzové halušky bez slaniny? To znie zaujímavo! (Bryndza halušky without bacon? That sounds interesting!)
