Ljubljana · maj/may 2013 Kako vidim Slovenijo The view on Slovenia

We are a kindergarten consisting of 23 fully occupied playrooms at four locations, which in a respectful manner and with cooperation create a warm and safe environment for children, parents, and employees.

Smo vrtec s 23 oddelki na štirih lokacijah, ki s spoštovanjem in s sodelovanjem ustvarja toplo in varno okolje za otroke, starše in zaposlene.

“We have lots of toys in kindergarten and we love playing outdoors as well. In the playground we play and climb the trees. The kindergarten is a “nice” place, because there are many friends and we also go on trips and to camp on the farm, or we go skating. “

»V vrtcu imamo veliko igrač in radi hodimo ven. Na igrišču se igramo in plezamo na drevesa. V vrtcu je »fajn«, ker je veliko prijateljev in zato, ker gremo včasih na kmetijo ali pa na drsanje.«

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and one of the medium-sized European cities with 208,607 inhabitants. Ljubljana’s first name was Emona, which was a Roman colony, founded in 14 AD. The present image of Ljubljana was strongly influenced by the architect Joze Plečnik.

Ljubljana je glavno mesto Slovenije in spada med srednje velika evropska mesta z 208.607 prebivalci. Emona, prvo ime današnje Ljubljane, je bila rimska naselbina, ustanovljena leta 14 n. št. Na današnjo podobo Ljubljane je močno vplival arhitekt Jože Plečnik.

“Ljubljana is a big city. There are schools, kindergartens, churches, shops, museums, and other places. All along the river Ljubljanica there are many trees and old houses, and you can also buy ice cream there. You can cross the river by going over three bridges at once. These are called The Three Bridges.”

»Ljubljana je veliko mesto. Tam so šole, vrtci, cerkve, trgovine, muzeji, idr. Ob reki Ljubljanici je polno dreves in starih hiš, tam prodajajo tudi sladoled. Čez reko greš lahko po treh mostovih hkrati, ki se jim reče Tromostovje.«

Ljubljanski grad je ljubljanska arhitekturna znamenitost, ki stoji na grajskem griču. Ljubljanski zmaj izvira iz legende o Jazonu in argonavtih. Od baroka naprej je del grba mesta Ljubljana. Ponazarja moč, pogum, veličino.

The Castle of Ljubljana is an architectural landmark that is situated on the castle hill. The Ljubljana dragon comes from the legend of Jason and the Argonauts. It has been a part of the coat of arms of the city of Ljubljana since the Baroque period. Dragon signifies strength, courage, greatness.

“A terrible dragon lived in the castle. It blew out fire and ate one sheep every day. When he blew out the fire and smoke, people hid in the houses.”

»Na gradu je živel strašni zmaj. Vsak dan je bruhal ogenj in pojedel eno ovco. Ko je bruhal ogenj in dim, so se ljudje skrili v hiše.«

Tivoli Park is the largest park in Ljubljana. It has numerous walking paths, flower arrangements, fountains, statues, sports facilities, a greenhouse, a children’s playground, an outdoor swimming pool, etc.

Park Tivoli je največji park v Ljubljani. Ima številne sprehajalne poti, cvetlične ureditve, vodnjake, kipe, športne objekte, rastlinjak, otroško igrišče, letno kopališče, idr.

“Tivoli is a park below the Ljubljana's hill Rožnik. There is a big playground with benches and old and special trees where squirrels live.”

»Tivoli je park, kjer so igrala, klopce, stara in posebna drevesa, kjer živijo veverice. Tivoli je pod hribom Rožnik.«

France Prešeren is the greatest Slovenian poet, born on 3 December 1800. The Prešeren’s Monument is placed in Ljubljana’s city center at Prešeren Square, which is a popular meeting place for young people. A part of his poem “Zdravljica” is also the lyrics of the national anthem of Slovenia.

France Prešeren velja za največjega slovenskega pesnika, rojenega 3.12.1800. Na Prešernovem trgu v središču Ljubljane je postavljen njegov spomenik, ki je priljubljeno zbirališče mladih. Del njegove pesmi Zdravljica je besedilo državne himne Republike Slovenije.

»France Prešeren je dajal fige otrokom, rad je pisal pesmi za velike, tudi našo himno Zdravljico.«

“France Prešeren gave figs to children. He was writing poems for adults, he also wrote our anthem Zdravljica .”

V baladi Povodni mož sta glavni osebi Povodni mož in Urška, ki je prevzetna in izbirčna zapeljivka. Ob sončnem zahodu sta zaplesala, nebo je potemnelo, plesala sta vse hitreje, dokler se nista zgubila v valovih reke Ljubljanice.

Povodni mož/”The Water Man” is a ballad with the main characters Water Man and Ursula who is a vain and picky temptress. At sunset they danced and the sky became darker. They were dancing faster and faster until they were lost in the waves of the river Ljubljanica.

“The Water Man and Ursula were spinning and dancing and in the end they sank into the river Ljubljanica.”

»Povodni mož in Urška sta se vrtela in plesala in na koncu sta se potopila v reko Ljubljanico.«

In the Ljubljana Zoo there are animals from all continents. Most interesting are the ones which are typical of the areas where the Alpine, the Pannonian and the Mediterranean parts of world come together.

V ljubljanskem živalskem vrtu so zbrane živali z vseh celin, ponaša pa se predvsem z vrstami, značilnimi za področja, kjer se stikajo alpski, panonski in sredozemski svet.

“The ZOO is a home for animals from America, Africa, and also from the north. ZOO keepers feed animals and cure them if they get sick.”

»Živalski vrt je je dom za živali iz Amerike, Afrike in tudi iz severa. Skrbniki hranijo živali in jih pozdravijo, kadar zbolijo.«

About 400 to 500 bears live in Slovenia, mostly in the area in the South East - the Kočevje forests. Males weigh from 200 to 400 kilos and live up to 35 years. A bear is a particular omnivore which feeds itself mostly on forest fruits. Bears hibernate in winter whilst females give birth during this time, usually to two or three cubs. V Sloveniji živi okoli 400-500 medvedov, največ v kočevskih gozdovih. Samci tehtajo od 200 do 400 kilogramov, živijo lahko do 35 let. Medved je izrazit vsejed, hrani se z gozdnimi plodovi. Pozimi medvedi mirujejo, samice pa v tem času kotijo, običajno dva do tri mladiče.

»Medved se odpravlja spat, ker prihaja zima. V brlogu ima listje, da mu bo toplo.«

“A bear goes to sleep, because winter is coming. His lair has leaves that keep the bear warm.”

Lipicanec je pripadnik pasme konjev, vzrejene v Lipici. Pasma je bila osnovana v letu 1580 na slovenskem Krasu, v takratni Habsburški monarhiji. Lipicanec je eden od slovenskih simbolov, upodobljen je na slovenskem evro kovancu za 20 centov.

»Lipica je dom za bele konje, ki se jim reče lipicanci. Ko so mladički, so črni; ko pa zrastejo, so beli.«

The Lipizzaner is a member of horses breed from Lipica. The breed was founded in 1580 in Slovenian Karst in the Habsburg Monarchy of that period. The Lipizzaner is one of the Slovenian symbols, depicted also on the Slovenian euro coin for 20 cents.

“Lipica is the home to white horses, named Lipizzaner horses. A Lipizzaner colt is black, but when it grows up, it is white.”

Storks are large, long-legged, long-necked wading with long stout beaks. They communicate by rattling with their beaks. Storks mainly eat frogs, fish, insects, and earthworms. Stork nests are often very big and can be used by storks for many years.

Štorklje so veliki, dolgonogi, dolgovrati močvirniki z dolgimi krepkimi kljuni. Sporazumevajo se tako, da klopotajo s kljuni. Štorklje se večinoma prehranjujejo z žabami, ribami, žuželkami in z deževniki. Gnezda štorkelj so pogosto zelo velika in jih štorklje uporabljajo mnogo let.

“The mother stork brought worms to the baby storks which are hungry and are waiting in the nest at the top of the chimney.”

»Mama je prinesla črve, mladički pa so lačni in čakajo v gnezdu na vrhu dimnika.«

Triglav (2864 metrov) je najvišji vrh Julijskih Alp in najvišji vrh Slovenije. Soška postrv je sladkovodna riba, ki živi v reki Soči in njenih pritokih, razširjena pa je tudi v Jadranskem povodju.

»Triglav je najvišja gora v Sloveniji. V reki Soči pa plavajo ribe postrvi, ki imajo rdeče pikice.«

Triglav (2,864 m) is the highest peak in the Julian Alps and is Slovenia’s highest mountain top. The Soča marble trout is a freshwater fish that lives in the Soča river and its tributaries, but you can find it in the Adriatic river basin, too.

“Triglav is the highest mountain in Slovenia. In the Soča river swim trout fish with red spots.”

Bled is a town by the Lake Bled, one of the oldest and most beautiful tourist places in Slovenia. The lake is suitable for swimming in the summer with nicely warm temperature. In very cold winters the lake freezes. On the island there stands a baroque church and the legend says you can have all your wishes come true if you ring the bell. Bled je naselje ob Blejskem jezeru, spada med starejše in najlepše turistične kraje v Sloveniji. Jezero ima poleti prijetno ogreto vodo, ki je primerna za kopanje. V bolj mrzlih zimah jezero zamrzne. Na otočku stoji baročna cerkev in legenda pravi, da se uresničijo vse želje, če pozvoniš na zvon.

»Na gori je grad in spodaj je jezero. Na jezeru se lahko pozimi drsamo ali pa na otočku pozvonimo na zvonček.«

“There is a castle on the mountain and the lake below it. We can ice skate on the lake in winter or ring the bell on the Bled Island.”

Lake Cerknica is an intermittent lake with a surface of 26 km². In the fullest extent it measures up to 38 km² and is the largest lake in Slovenia. Lake Cerknica is filled mainly by rain after autumn rainfall and in spring when the snow melts. The water dries up in May or June, and sometimes even in winter. Slivnica Mountain above the lake is the home of the witches, the trademark of the locals and the central figure in the local carnival.

Cerkniško jezero je presihajoče jezero s površino 26 km². V največjem obsegu meri tudi do 38 km² in je največje jezero v Sloveniji. Cerkniško jezero se napolni v glavnem po jesenskem deževju in spomladi, ko se tali sneg. Presiha maja ali junija, včasih pa tudi pozimi. Na gori Slivnici nad jezerom pa so doma coprnice, ki so zaščitni znak domačinov in osrednji lik na pustnem karnevalu.

“Lake Cerknica is really weird. When it rains, it is full of water and when there is no rain, the lake disappears. Witches on Slivnica Mountain cook the magic potion and fly on their brooms.”

»Cerkniško jezero je res čudno: ko je dež, je polno vode in ko ga ni, jezero izgine. Čarovnice (coprnice) na Slivnici pa kuhajo čarobni napoj in letijo na metli.«

Postojnska jama je 20.570 m dolg kraški jamski sistem v bližini Postojne, ki je drugi največji v Sloveniji. Postojnska jama slovi kot zibelka speleobiologije - vede o življenju živali v podzemlju. Najbolj znana je človeška ribica. Prav v Postojnski jami je bil odkrit prvi jamski hrošček, drobnovratnik. Na leto Postojnsko jamo obišče prek 500.000 ljudi iz celega sveta.

Postojna Cave (Slovenian: Postojnska jama) is a 20,570 m long karst cave system near Postojna in Slovenia. It is the second-longest cave system in the country as well as one of its top tourism sites. The caves were created by the Pivka river. Postojna Cave is known as the cradle of speleobiology - the science of animal life in the underworld. The best known species is the human fish. The first cave beetle “Narrow-necked Blind Cave Beetle” was discovered in this cave. Over 500,000 visitors from all around the world come to visit the cave every year.

“In the cave the human fish like to hide under rocks. They can be light or dark and do not have eyes. The stones in the cave are called stalactites and they glitter.” »V Postojnski jami se človeške ribice rade skrivajo pod kamni. Lahko so svetle ali temne in nimajo oči. Kamni v jami se imenujejo kapniki in se svetlikajo.«

There are many thermal waters in Slovenia. All spa centres use them for the rehabilitation of the locomotor system, the nervous system, and after injuries and operations of the locomotor apparatus. Thermal waters are also used for sports- recreational and tourist purposes. V Sloveniji je veliko termalnih vod. Vsa zdravilišča jih uporabljajo pri rehabilitaciji gibalnega sistema, živčnega sistema ter stanj po poškodbah in operacijah gibalnega aparata. Termalne vode se uporabljajo tudi v športno-rekreativne in turistične namene.

»V toplicah je zelo zabavno, ko se s prijateljico spuščam po toboganu in voda škropi naokrog.«

“It is a great fun visiting spas and sliding down water slides with a friend when water splashes all around you.”

Idrijska čipka je zvrst klekljane čipke, ki jo že stoletja izdelujejo v Idriji. Je pomemben del slovenske kulturne dediščine. Svoje ime je dobila po mestu Idrija, glavnem in najstarejšem slovenskem čipkarskem središču, kjer že od leta 1876 neprekinjeno deluje tudi znamenita idrijska čipkarska šola. Idria lace is a type of bobbin lace, which has been produced for centuries in Idrija, and is an important part of Slovenian cultural heritage. Its name comes from the town of Idrija, the capital and the oldest Slovenian lace centre, where Idrija Lace School has been operating since 1876.

»Čipka je tak prtiček iz bele nitke. S palčkami pretikamo nitko in dobimo prtiček za na mizo.«

“Lace is a napkin from white thread. We are moving the shift of thread with special sticks (bobbins) and we get a napkin for the table.”

Easter eggs is a traditional food that is prepared at Easter. Eggs are hard-boiled, then dyed and decorated. They may also be cooked in the paint. The paint can be artificial or of natural source, such as peel leaves of red onion.

Pirh ali velikonočno jajce, ponekod imenovano tudi pisanica ali pisanka, je tradicionalna hrana, ki se pripravlja ob veliki noči. Jajca se trdo skuhajo, nato pa se barvajo in krasijo, lahko pa se že kuhajo v barvilu. Barvilo je lahko umetno ali pa naravno, recimo listje rdeče čebule.

“We like painting eggs, particularly red, yellow, and blue. If you put them in water with red onion peel, they become brown.”

»Radi barvamo jajčka, še posebej rdeča, rumena in modra. Če jih daš v čebulo, pa postanejo rjava.«

Dressing up in masks or carnival costumes and disguises is a popular folk tradition in Slovenia. There are some traditional carnival masks which are characteristic of individual regions. The best known are “kurenti, laufarji, škoromati,” etc.

Šemljenje je priljubljen ljudski običaj v Sloveniji. Poznamo nekaj tradicionalnih pustnih mask, ki so značilne za posamezne pokrajine. Najbolj znani so kurenti, cerkljanski laufarji, škoromati, idr.

“Carnival masks are haunting around and they are chasing winter. We are afraid of the “Kurents”, because they rattle with their bells very loudly.”

»Maškare strašijo okrog in preganjajo zimo. Kurentov se pa malo bojimo, ker tako glasno ropotajo z zvonci.«

A “kozolec” – hayrack is a typical wooden building of the Slovenian countryside and architecture. It is opened on sides and used to dry grains and grass. Hayracks are divided into single and double hayracks (“toplar” hayracks). Approximately 80 per cent of all hayracks are found in Slovenia.

Kozolec je po navadi lesena, s strani odprta stavba za sušenje žita in trave, značilna za slovensko podeželje in arhitekturo. Kozolce delimo na enojne in dvojne kozolce (toplar). Približno 80 odstotkov vseh kozolcev najdemo v Sloveniji.

“A kozolec- hayrack is very old and wooden. They used it to dry hay for the animals and to store carts and keep tools in it.”

»Kozolec je ves star in lesen, na njem so sušili seno za živali. Pod kozolcem so spravili tudi voz in orodje.«

Slovenian athletes can compete with the athletes from the rest of the world despite the small size of our country. They always return home with excellent achievements, medals, and thus they proudly represent our country Slovenia.

Slovenski športniki se lahko kljub majhnosti naše dežele enakovredno kosajo z ostalim svetom. Domov se vračajo z izvrstnimi dosežki in z medaljami, ter tako ponosno predstavljajo našo državo Slovenijo.

“Our skier Tina Maze is so fast that she always wins.” “Ski jumpers have the longest skies, so they can fly into the valley all the way to the line.” “When our athletes win, they always play the Slovenian national anthem.”

»Naša smučarka Tina Maze je tako hitra, da vedno zmaga«. »Skakalci imajo najdaljše smučke zato, da lahko letijo v dolino do črte«. »Kadar naši športniki zmagajo, vedno igra slovenska himna.«
