Pomôžem vám prejsť celým procesom."En: "Feel free to tell us what happened. I’ll help you through the entire process."Sk: Marek sa zhlboka nadýchol.En: Marek took a deep breath.Sk: Začal rozprávať príbeh.En: He began to tell the story.Sk: Spočiatku sa mu plietli slová, ale Zuzana ho povzbudzovala, až postupne nabral sebavedomie.En: At first, his words were tangled, but Zuzana encouraged him, until he gradually gained confidence.Sk: Rozpovedal všetko, čo videl, a uviedol dôležité detaily.En: He recounted everything he had seen and provided important details.Sk: Pri každom slove cítil, ako sa jeho zaťažený členok odľahčil.En: With every word, he felt his burdened ankle becoming lighter.Sk: Po výpovedi sa Zuzana usmiala.En: After the statement, Zuzana smiled.Sk: "Vynikajúca práca, Marek. Vaša svedectvo môže veľmi pomôcť."En: "Excellent work, Marek. Your testimony can be very helpful."Sk: Marek sa postavil na nohy, cítil sa vzpriamenejší.En: Marek stood up, feeling more upright.Sk: "Ďakujem, Zuzana. Bez vás by som to nezvládol."En: "Thank you, Zuzana. I couldn't have done it without you."Sk: Ako kráčal ku dverám, uvedomil si, že sa naučil niečo dôležité.En: As he walked to the door, he realized he had learned something important.Sk: Niekedy je dôležité prekonať osobné nepohodlie, aby sme urobili správnu vec.En: Sometimes it's crucial to overcome personal discomfort to do the right thing.Sk: Získal viac sebadôvery a pocit naplnenia.En: He gained more self-confidence and a sense of fulfillment.Sk: Vyšiel von na studený vzduch Bratislavy, ale jeho srdce bolo teplé.En: He stepped out into the cold Bratislava air, but his heart was warm.Sk: Sneh sa jemne usadzoval na mestských uliciach, a Marek vedel, že sa práve stal neoddeliteľnou súčasťou tohto miesta.En: The snow was gently settling on the city streets, and Marek knew he had just become an integral ...
