Hello everyone! I have a request/opportunity that I was hoping one of the people of this sub might be able to help with… in 2019, my fiancé and I visited Sarajevo, so he could spend time with his Deda (who was quite ill), and so I could meet his family. I was (and am still) at a very beginner level of Bosnian, and didn’t want to take away from the conversation by asking for translation/ knew it would probably be his last conversation with his Deda, so I recorded a ~30 minute video of our talk around the dinner table as we chatted with the intent to listen to it later and transcribe/translate it. Not only to have for our future children, but to help me learn the language/get to know his family better, as well. His grandfather passed about one year later, but shockingly, his uncle (also at this dinner) suddenly passed away about 2 months after that. So, while he expected this was probably the last conversation he would have with his Deda, none of us expected it to be the last with his uncle. And because my fiancé is a doctor and this happened during peak Covid in 2020, he was unable to attend the funerals of either. Naturally, this video is a lot more painful for him to listen to now, and he feels a lot of guilt around it so I was hoping someone on this sub might be willing to transcribe it for me. We are finally going back to Sarajevo in late September, and I thought it might be nice to have little clips to share with his family while we are there, but I don’t know how to separate the small talk from the parts that might be more meaningful/sentimental (if any!). I would be more than happy to pay for the help, and to help identify the speakers/provide any additional context if needed. I know that it won’t all be audible/translatable since there’s interfering noise, etc., but anything is better than nothing. I’ve included a 30 second clip of the larger video. Thank you for considering! 💙
