| Elena: (SLOW) Яркое событие (Yarkaye sabytiye) (REGULAR) Яркое событие (Yarkaye sabytiye) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase "in my life." |
| Elena: в моей жизни (v mayey zhyzni) |
| Eric: Here we have the phrase... |
| Elena: в моей жизни |
| Eric: which is in the prepositional case. |
| Elena: В means "in," моей means "my," and жизни is the word for "life." |
| Eric: Listen again. "In my life" is... |
| Elena: (SLOW) в моей жизни (v mayey zhyzni) (REGULAR) в моей жизни (v mayey zhyzni) |
| Eric: All together, "Important event in my life." |
| Elena: Яркое событие в моей жизни. |
