Story Transcript:

Et: Kevadpäike piilus õrnalt läbi kõrgete puude okste, valgustades Tartu Ülikooli Botaanikaaia rohelusega täidetud ala.
En: The spring sun gently peeked through the branches of the tall trees, illuminating the Tartu Ülikooli Botaanikaaia area filled with greenery.

Et: Õhk oli täidetud maapinna lõhnaga ja linnulauluga, luues rahuliku pelgupaiga linna saginast.
En: The air was filled with the scent of the earth and the songs of birds, creating a peaceful refuge from the city's hustle.

Et: Marek istus pingil, oma vihikuga, kuhu ta kirjutas märkmeid botaanikaalase uurimistöö jaoks.
En: Marek sat on a bench with his notebook, where he wrote notes for his botanical research.

Et: Ta veetis siin sageli aega, imetledes taimi ja otsides inspiratsiooni oma lõputööle.
En: He often spent time here, admiring the plants and seeking inspiration for his thesis.

Et: Seda aeda külastades tundis ta end alati rahulikuna, eemal õpikoormast.
En: Visiting this garden always made him feel at peace, away from the academic burden.

Et: Samas käesolevas kasvuhoones liikus ringi Kersti, noor aednikuhuviline, otsides ideid oma väikese koduaia rajamiseks.
En: In the same greenhouse moved Kersti, a young gardening enthusiast, searching for ideas to set up her small home garden.

Et: Ta peatus haruldase lille ees, millele olid lisatud infolehed.
En: She stopped in front of a rare flower with attached information sheets.

Et: Ta vaatas lille imetlusega, samal ajal tundes end natuke ülekoormatuna.
En: She looked at the flower with admiration, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Et: "Kui palju on veel õppida," mõtles ta endamisi.
En: "So much left to learn," she thought to herself.

Et: Kersti ahhetas vaikselt: "Kui kaunis," murdes Mareki mõtisklused.
En: Kersti quietly gasped, "How beautiful," breaking Marek's contemplation.

Et: Ta märkas, kuidas neiu uuris sildikest nagu kaaluks iga sõna.
En: He noticed how the girl examined the label as if weighing every word.

Et: See tundus võimalusena, kuid temasugusele, alati endassesulgunud Marekile polnud lihtne läheneda.
En: It seemed like an opportunity, but for someone like Marek, who was always introspective, it was not easy to approach.

Et: Marek hingas sügavalt sisse.
En: Marek took a deep breath.

Et: "See on sinilill," ütles ta vaikselt, murdes vaikust.
En: "That's a sinilill," he said quietly, breaking the silence.

Et: Kersti pöördus üllatunud pilguga tema poole.
En: Kersti turned towards him with a surprised look.

Et: "See on üsna haruldane siin piirkonnas," lisas ta veidi enesekindlamalt.
En: "It's quite rare in this area," he added with a bit more confidence.

Et: Kersti naeratas: "Ma ei teadnudki seda!
En: Kersti smiled: "I didn't know that!

Et: Kas teie teate nende taimede kohta palju?"
En: Do you know a lot about these plants?"

Et: "Ma õpin botaanikat," vastas Marek veidi muigega.
En: "I'm studying botany," Marek replied with a slight grin.

Et: "Üritan just kirjutada oma lõputööd taimedest."
En: "I'm trying to write my thesis about plants."

Et: Kersti silmad lõid särama: "Vau, kas te saaksite aidata mul oma aeda planeerida?
En: Kersti's eyes lit up: "Wow, could you help me plan my garden?

Et: Olen natuke algaja ja see info on natuke palju."
En: I'm a bit of a beginner, and this information is a bit...
