What is worth knowing about these words

koliko stane? — how much does it cost?. One thing: koliko stane. Several: koliko stanejo. In a shop a bare koliko? is enough.

evro — euro. Slovenia joined the eurozone in 2007; the old tolar survives only in the memory of the older generation.

trgovina — shop. From trg, the square where trade happened. It is the shop itself, not "trade".

tržnica — market. Also from trg. The central one in Ljubljana is Plečnikove tržnice, on the river bank.

How to learn the set instead of just reading it

How much it costs, whether there is a smaller one, whether cards are accepted. A shop forgives mistakes: miss a word and they will show you the thing with their hands anyway.

A list is read in a minute and forgotten in a day. What works: hide the translation, try to recall, get it wrong — and come back to the same words tomorrow.

Recalling beats re-reading. Covering the translation and trying to remember it does more than reading it ten more times.checked many times
