Everyone knows that stories
0
6723
1551
Svi znaju da su priče
00:08
are made up of words,
1
8274
1619
sačinjene od reči -
00:09
from short poems
2
9893
788
od kratkih pesama
00:10
to epic novels.
3
10681
1314
do epskih romana.
00:11
But did you know
4
11995
1082
Ali, da li ste znali
00:13
that a single word itself
5
13077
1775
da jedna reč sama
00:14
can tell an entire story?
6
14852
1806
može da ispriča celu priču?
00:16
You see, just as we can look at a story's plot,
7
16658
2955
Kao što možemo da vidimo zaplet priče,
00:19
setting,
8
19613
885
okruženje
00:20
and characters,
9
20498
1132
i likove,
00:21
we can also study the history
10
21630
1634
tako možemo i da proučimo istorijat
00:23
of an individual word,
11
23264
1616
pojedinačne reči,
00:24
where it developed,
12
24880
969
gde je nastala
00:25
and the cultures and people
13
25849
1198
i kulture i ljude
00:27
who helped shape it.
14
27047
1630
koji su pomogli da se oblikuje.
00:28
Looking into the story of a word
15
28677
1751
Istraživati priču jedne reči
00:30
is like counting the rings of a tree.
16
30428
2215
je kao brojati godove drveta.
00:32
Newer words, like Google
17
32643
1709
Novije reči, kao što je "Gugl"
00:34
or cyborg,
18
34352
1278
ili "kiborg"
00:35
have shorter stories.
19
35630
1255
imaju kraće priče.
00:36
But the older the word,
20
36885
1550
Ali, što je starija reč,
00:38
the longer the story
21
38435
1467
to je duža priča
00:39
and the more it stands to reveal to us
22
39902
2118
i više može da nam otkrije,
00:42
not only about itself,
23
42020
1584
ne samo o sebi,
00:43
but about ourselves and our history.
24
43604
3036
nego i o nama i o istoriji.
00:46
The oldest words in present-day English
25
46640
1692
Najstarije reči u današnjem engleskom
00:48
are those that come from Old English,
26
48332
1992
su one koje dolaze iz staroengleskog,
00:50
the ancestor of our modern language
27
50324
2178
preteče našeg modernog jezika
00:52
whose first seeds were planted
28
52502
1389
čije je prvo seme zasejano
00:53
about 1500 years ago.
29
53891
2326
pre oko 1.500 godina.
00:56
Compared to languages like Greek or Chinese
30
56217
2498
U poređenju sa jezicima kao što su grčki ili kineski
00:58
that date back thousands of years,
31
58715
1997
koji su nastali pre više hiljada godina,
01:00
English is just a sapling in the lexical forest.
32
60712
3168
engleski je tek izdanak u leksičkoj šumi.
01:03
But the stories of its words
33
63880
1752
Ali priče o njegovim rečima
01:05
often start long before English itself took root.
34
65632
3666
često počinju mnogo pre nego što se engleski ukorenio.
01:09
One such word is the familiar word true,
35
69298
2994
Jedna takva reč je poznata reč "istinit",
01:12
as in true stories.
36
72292
1972
kao u istinitim pričama.
01:14
Let's take a look.
37
74264
1372
Hajde da pogledamo.
01:16
True usually means factual, correct,
38
76220
2416
Istinito obično znači činjenično, tačno
01:18
or faithful to reality.
39
78636
1767
ili - verno realnosti.
01:20
It can also mean exact,
40
80403
1709
Takođe može da znači - precizno,
01:22
properly positioned,
41
82112
1160
dobro postavljeno,
01:23
upright,
42
83272
1000
ispravno
01:24
or straight.
43
84272
1064
ili pravo.
01:25
A true friend is loyal,
44
85336
1946
Istinit (pravi) prijatelj je lojalan,
01:27
reliable,
45
87282
1132
pouzdan,
01:28
faithful,
46
88414
688
veran
01:29
and steadfast.
47
89102
1596
i postojan.
01:30
The word true is a simple word,
48
90698
2183
Reč "istinit" je jednostavna reč
01:32
and we can add some affixes
49
92881
1491
i možemo dodati neke afikse
01:34
to grow its family tree
50
94372
1708
da povećamo njeno porodično stablo
01:36
with words like truer,
51
96080
1331
sa rečima kao što su: istinitiji,
01:37
truest,
52
97411
1157
najistinitiji,
01:38
truly,
53
98568
584
iskreno,
01:39
truth,
54
99152
753
01:39
and untruth.
55
99905
1330
istina
i neistina.
01:41
But if we go in the other direction
56
101235
1583
Ali, ako odemo u drugom pravcu
01:42
to look at the roots of true itself,
57
102818
2720
i pogledamo koren same reči
01:45
we find even more relatives
58
105538
1836
naći ćemo još više srodnika
01:47
further up the family tree.
59
107374
2467
na porodičnom stablu.
01:49
The words trust,
60
109841
917
Reči: poverenje,
01:50
bethroth,
61
110758
1087
veriti se
01:51
and truce
62
111845
1090
i primirje
01:52
all derive from the same source as true,
63
112935
3121
izvedene su iz istog izvora kao i "istinit"
01:56
and these words all denote faithfulness
64
116056
2173
i sve ove reči označavaju verovanje
01:58
or confidence.
65
118229
1564
ili poverenje.
01:59
A thousand years ago,
66
119793
1382
Pre hiljadu godina,
02:01
the word true looked and sounded
67
121175
2372
reč "istinit" je izgledala i zvučala
02:03
different than it does today.
68
123547
1922
drugačije nego danas.
02:05
In several Old English dialects,
69
125469
1868
Na nekoliko staroengleskih dijalekata
02:07
the word treow was a noun
70
127337
1904
reč "treow" je bila imenica
02:09
that meant good faith or trust,
71
129241
2018
koja je značila iskrenost ili poverenje,
02:11
a pledge or a promise.
72
131259
2241
zavet ili obećanje.
02:13
But it also had another definition,
73
133500
2357
Ali, takođe je imala i drugu definiciju,
02:15
tree,
74
135857
818
"drvo"
02:16
and that's no coincidence.
75
136675
1584
i to nije slučajnost.
02:18
If we trace the roots back even farther,
76
138259
2473
Ako pratimo korene još dalje,
02:20
we find that both meanings
77
140732
1434
naći ćemo da oba značenja
02:22
derive from a common origin,
78
142166
2034
imaju zajedničko poreklo
02:24
where some of the earliest expressions
79
144200
1755
gde su neki od najranijih izraza
02:25
of the concept of truth
80
145955
1580
za pojam istine
02:27
were associated with the uprightness of an oak,
81
147535
3137
bili povezani sa uspravnošću hrasta,
02:30
the steadiness of a silver birch,
82
150672
2361
čvrstinom bele breze
02:33
and the fidelity of an orchard baring fruit
83
153033
2249
i tačnošću voćnjaka koji rađa voće
02:35
year after year.
84
155282
1721
godinu za godinom.
02:37
This may sound like a stretch at first,
85
157003
2249
Ovo može zvučati preterano na prvi pogled,
02:39
but trees are the oldest living organisms
86
159252
2007
ali drveće predstavlja najstarije žive organizme
02:41
on this planet.
87
161259
1454
na ovoj planeti.
02:42
Some that would have been called treow long ago
88
162713
2626
Poneko drvo koje su davno nazivali "treow"
02:45
still stand today.
89
165339
1835
i danas još uvek stoji.
02:47
The Fortingall Yew in Scotland
90
167174
1913
Fortingalski tis u Škotskoj
02:49
is more than 2,000 years old.
91
169087
1997
star je preko 2000 godina.
02:51
A Californian Bristlecone Pine
92
171084
1848
Kalifornijski čekinjasti bor
02:52
is more than 5,000.
93
172932
1931
ima preko 5000 godina.
02:54
And Utah's Pando-quaking Aspen Grove
94
174863
2948
A šumarak Pando topole u Juti
02:57
has a single root system
95
177811
1306
ima jedan korenski sistem
02:59
that dates back more than 80 millennia.
96
179117
3530
koji je star preko 80 milenijuma.
03:02
Trees have also held a sacred place
97
182647
1665
Drveće je takođe zauzimalo sveto mesto
03:04
in many cultures throughout history.
98
184312
2111
u mnogim kulturama tokom istorije.
03:06
The Celtic peoples
99
186423
1231
Kelti,
03:07
who first inhabited the British Isles
100
187654
1677
koji su prvi naselili Britanska ostrva,
03:09
believed that trees housed deities.
101
189331
2691
verovali su da u drveću stanuju božanstva.
03:13
And, in fact, the ancient Druids take their name
102
193114
2882
U stvari i naziv drevnih Druida potiče
03:15
from the same ancient root as tree.
103
195996
2676
iz istog drevnog korena kao drvo.
03:18
Planting a tree is itself an act of faith
104
198672
2248
Samo sađenje drveta je čin vere
03:20
and commitment.
105
200920
1256
i odanosti.
03:22
Not only are trees upright and prototypically straight,
106
202176
3114
Ne samo da je drveće uspravno i prototipično pravo,
03:25
but they are actual, solid, and real,
107
205290
2665
već je čvrsto i stvarno,
03:27
something you can see and touch.
108
207955
2144
nešto što možete videti i dotaći.
03:30
And they are as reliable and steadfast to us today
109
210099
2707
I ono je pouzdano i postojano za nas danas,
03:32
as they were a millennium ago,
110
212806
1981
kao što je to bilo i pre jednog milenijuma,
03:34
nurturing us,
111
214787
745
hraneći nas,
03:35
sheltering us,
112
215532
824
pružajući nam sklonište
03:36
and providing the pages of our books.
113
216356
2300
i obezbeđujući nam stranice za knjige.
03:38
Philosophers and poets,
114
218656
1211
Filozofi i pesnici,
03:39
people in search of the truth,
115
219867
1708
ljudi u traganju za istinom,
03:41
have often sought it in trees.
116
221575
2327
često su je tražili u drveću.
03:43
"What did the tree learn from the Earth
117
223902
1677
"Šta je drvo naučilo od Zemlje
03:45
to be able to talk with the sky?"
118
225579
1787
da bi moglo da razgovara sa nebom?"
03:47
asked Pablo Neruda.
119
227366
1720
pitao je Pablo Neruda.
03:49
"A tree falls the way it leans,"
120
229086
1698
"Drvo pada na onu stranu na koju se naginje.",
03:50
says an old proverb.
121
230784
1598
kaže stara izreka.
03:52
Just as trees mark our landscapes
122
232382
1911
Kao što drveće oblikuje naše pejzaže
03:54
and witness our histories,
123
234293
1454
i svedoči našim istorijama,
03:55
the stories of words landscape our language,
124
235747
3347
priče o rečima oblikuju naš jezik,
03:59
capturing the rains and sunshine of generations
125
239094
2873
pamteći kiše i sunca generacija
04:01
and sending roots and branches far and wide.
126
241967
3550
i puštajući korenje i grane svuda naokolo.
04:05
As there is a whole orchard in a single seed,
127
245517
2670
Kao što se ceo voćnjak nalazi u jednoj semenki,
04:08
there is a whole story in a single word,
128
248187
2929
tako se cela priča nalazi u jednoj reči
04:11
and that's the truth.
129
251116
1701
i to je istina.
