Dialogue between two friends on spending summer vocation. (Chapter # 4)

1.,,Aveam tot timpul la dispoziție. El, fiindcă era bătrân, eu fiindcă eram tânăr.”
2. ,, – Zâmbetul, domnu’ Ibrahim, e ceva pentru bogați. Eu nu-mi permit să zâmbesc. […]
– Domnul Ibrahim, când spun că zâmbetul e o chestiune pentru bogați vreau să spun că e o chestiune pentru oamenii fericiți.
– Ei, bine, aici te înșeli. Zâmbetul te face fericit.”
3.-Tekke nu-i un dans, ci o mănăstire,  Momo. […] 
— Se învârtesc în jurul lor înşişi, Momo,
vezi? În jurul propriilor lor inimi, care
sunt lăcaşul unde Dumnezeu își manifes-
tă prezenţa în om. Dansul lor este o rugăciune.
— Asta numeşti dumneata rugăciune ?
— Bineînţeles, Momo. Ei pierd astfel orice reper terestru, greutatea aceea pe care o numim echilibru, nu mai sunt altceva decât un mănunchi de făclii ce se consumă pe un rug uriaş. “

Maturizarea, amaraciunea, pierderea, moartea, iubirea, toleranta, diversitatea religioasa, familia sunt doar câteva subiecte pe care acest roman scurt le abordează. 
  Schmitt are un mod al lui de a mă face să văd viața diferit atunci când îi citesc cărțile.  Mă tulbură, dar într-un mod plăcut, captivant, hipnotizant. E atât de multă înțelepciune în cartea asta! Și acum, după ce am terminat-o, îi mulțumesc domnului Ibrahim pentru calmul și pentru iubirea pe care mi le-a strecurat și mie în inimă!

6 Great Examples of Idioms And Phrases For A Conversation

Apa kabar semua? 
Tinggal beberapa hari sebelum akhir tahun 2023! Sangat cepat, bukan? 
Bagi kalian, tahun ini tahun seperti apa? Untuk saya, tahun ini adalah tahun yang penuh dengan perjalanan. Saya pergi ke banyak tempat dan dapat banyak pengalaman baru. Bagaimana dengan kalian?

Salah seorang teman saya bilang, di tahun 2023 ini dia kurang berhati-hati dan banyak menyesal. Menyesal adalah "regret" di Bahasa Inggris, dan di Bahasa Jepang adalah 後悔する。"Jadi di tahun 2024, harus sedia payung sebelum hujan!" katanya. 

Kalian mengerti artinya? siapkan payung sebelum terkena hujan. Artinya, lebih baik siapkan hal ini dan itu daripada nanti menyesal. Apa kalian juga orang yang selalu siapkan banyak hal sebelum masalah terjadi? Kalau saya, tergantung kondisi ya… kadang-kadang melakukan hal spontan dan tidak siapkan apa pun itu juga bagus, hanya ikut situasi atau kondisi yang mungkin terjadi. Yaa, hidup hanya satu kali, ayo kita menikmati dengan cara terbaik menurut kita.

Terima kasih banyak untuk para pendengar podcast saya ini, dan juga untuk murid-murid hebat saya di Italki. Kalian sudah memberi saya banyak inspirasi dan motivasi!! 
Selamat menyambut tahun baru! Selamat berlibur dan sampai jumpa tahun depan! 
Happy New Year!  ^^
