| POST |

| Karin: Konečně začíná dovolená! |
| John: "The holiday finally starts!" |

| John: Then comes the phrase - "The holiday." |
| Karin: dovolená! |
| John: This Czech term for "holiday" is derived from the verb meaning "to allow," or "to permit." People are allowed or permitted to take a day off. Listen again- "The holiday" is... |
| Karin: (SLOW) dovolená! (REGULAR) dovolená! |
| John: All together, "The holiday finally starts!" |
| Karin: Konečně začíná dovolená! |
