Stati inu obstati To stand and withstand

Danes je dan reformacije,

zato začenjam ta zapis z besedami Trubarja,

ki je bil začetnik le-te v Sloveniji.

Za številčno majhen narod je izjemnega pomena dejstvo,

da je avtor prvih dveh tiskanih knjig,
napisanih v slovenskem jeziku.


With this famous archaic phrase from Primož Trubar,

written in the title,

I’m beginning this post today,

when we celebrate the Reformation Day here in Slovenia. 

A priest Primož Trubar was Slovenian protestant

reformer in 16th century, born in 1508.

He was the author of the first

printed books in Slovenian language:

Katekizem in Abecednik (Catechismus and Abecedarium).

They were published in 1550.

For a nation of only 2 millions

it is of utmost importance.

The oldest preserved written text in Slovene however
is more than thousand years old. 

They say that our language is very difficult.

Among other things it is one of rare ones that use the dual. 

So, here I am posting a mini Slovene-English dictionary

for all of you readers around the world;

so that when I’ll stop writing in English,

you will understand me.

Just kidding! :)
