| John: Then comes the phrase - "There is nothing better than a good dinner!" |
| Karin: Není nad to dobře se navečeřet! |
| John: The first two words literally mean "there is nothing above." This phrase is often used in daily conversation when people want to emphasize how great something is. Listen again- "There is nothing better that a good dinner!" is... |
| Karin: (SLOW) Není nad to dobře se navečeřet! (REGULAR) Není nad to dobře se navečeřet! |
