Izrazi
Danas ćeš naučiti dve fraze – jednu da govoriš o započinjanju kontakta ili razgovora, i drugu, za davanje važnih najava ili upozorenja.
To reach out
(To contact someone, often to ask for help or start a conversation.)
- Srpski prevod i kontekst:
Javiti se / Obratiti se.
Ovo je moderan i malo formalniji način da se kaže “kontaktirati”.
Koristi se kada želite da započnete komunikaciju, posebno sa nekim koga ne poznajete dobro. - Example:
“If you have any questions, please reach out to the IT department.” - Prevod primera:
“Ako imate bilo kakvih pitanja, molim vas obratite se IT odeljenju.”
Još primera za ‘reach out’
English: If you need any help, don’t hesitate to reach out.
- Serbian: Ako ti treba bilo kakva pomoć, nemoj se ustručavati da mi se javiš.

- Serbian: Obraćamo se svima koji bi mogli biti zainteresovani za našu novu uslugu.
To give someone a heads-up
(To give an advance warning or information.)
- Srpski prevod i kontekst:
Da ti javim unapred / Da te pripremim.
Ovo je prijateljsko upozorenje.
Nešto će se desiti i vi želite da druga osoba bude spremna na to.
Ovo je kao da kažete: “Hej, samo da znaš…” - Example:
“Just giving you a heads-up that the client will be visiting our office tomorrow.” - Prevod primera:
“Samo da ti javim unapred da će klijent posetiti našu kancelariju sutra.”

- Serbian: Upozorila me je da je šef loše raspoložen.
English: Thanks for the heads-up about the traffic jam; I’ll take a different route.
- Serbian: Hvala što si mi javio na vreme za gužvu u saobraćaju; ići ću drugim putem.
English: This is just a heads-up: we might need you to work this weekend.
- Serbian: Ovo je samo obaveštenje unapred: možda će biti potrebno da radiš ovog vikenda.
English: Please give me a heads-up next time you plan to be late.
- Serbian: Molim te, javi mi sledeći put kad planiraš da kasniš.
Gramatika:
Modalni glagoli za ljubazne zahteve
Za postavljanje ljubaznih pitanja i zahteva u poslovnom okruženju, koristimo modalne glagole kao što su Can, Could i Would. Could i Would su malo formalniji i učtiviji od Can.
- Primer 1: “Could you give me a heads-up before you leave?” (ljubazno)
- Prevod primera: Možeš li da mi najaviš pre nego što odeš?
- Primer 2: “Would you mind reaching out to the client for me?” (ljubazno)
- Prevod primera: Da li bi ti smetalo da se javiš klijentu umesto mene?
- Primer 3: “Give me the laptop.” (grubo, neljubazno)
- Prevod primera: Daj mi laptop.

Characters:
- Chloe: Social Media Manager
