Tarmo ja Maarika jalutasid Maltal ringi, otsides uusi maitseid.

Tarmo and Maarika were strolling around Malta in search of new flavors.

Oli suvi ja päike paistis eredalt.

It was summer, and the sun was shining brightly.

Nad jõudsid vib­rantsesse Vahemere turule.

They arrived at the vibrant Mediterranean market.

Tarmo vahtis ringi, silmad säramas.

Tarmo looked around, his eyes sparkling.

"Vaata neid puuvilju!"

"Look at these fruits!"

ütles ta Maarikale.

he said to Maarika.

Maarika naeratas ja noogutas.

Maarika smiled and nodded.

Nad peatusid sõbraliku kohaliku kaupmehe Laine leti ees.

They stopped at the stall of a friendly local vendor named Laine.

Laine oli jutuhoos ja märkis Tarmole: "Għandek bżonn xi ħaġa?"

Laine was mid-conversation and asked Tarmo, "Għandek bżonn xi ħaġa?"

Tarmo mõtles natuke.

Tarmo thought for a moment.

"Jā... oh ei, jaa, palun apelsine," ütles ta, kasutades Maltese fraasi, mida ta ema õppinud.

"Yes... oh no, yes, please, oranges," he said, using a Maltese phrase he had learned from his mother.

Laine naeris kergelt ja tõstis kasti apelsine.

Laine laughed lightly and raised a crate of oranges.

Tarmo üritas žestikuleerida, et ta tahab ainult paar tükki.

Tarmo tried to gesture that he only wanted a few.

Laine rap­pas veel rohkem apelsine letti.

Laine added more oranges to the counter.

Tarmo läks veidi segadusse ja püüdis Läti sõnu veelgi liialdada: "Mhux kollha!

Tarmo got a bit confused and tried to exaggerate the few Latvian words he knew: "Mhux kollha!

Ftit!"

Ftit!"

Maarika astus juurde ja ütles oma vähesed Maltese sõnad: "Addio kaxxar!

Maarika stepped in and said her few Maltese words: "Addio kaxxar!

Trid ftit."

Trid ftit."

Laine mõistis ja lahvatas naerma.

Laine understood and burst out laughing.

"Ah, soovite ainult paar apelsini, mitte kogu kasti!"

"Ah, you want only a few oranges, not the whole crate!"

Samal ajal tõi Laine välja eriti ilusa vilja.

Then Laine brought out an especially beautiful fruit.

“Tas ir tunxorn,” ütles ta naeratades.

"Tas ir tunxorn," he said, smiling.

Maarika pilgutas silmi ja siis sai aru, et Laine pakkus neile tasuta kingitusena tunda puuvilju, mida nad pole kunagi varem proovinud.

Maarika blinked and then realized that Laine was offering them a fruit they had never tried before as a free gift.

Maarika võttis tänades vastu ja nad lahvadid naerma.

Maarika accepted it gratefully, and they all laughed together.

Tarmo maksis mõistliku summa väikese koguse apelsinide eest.

Tarmo paid a reasonable sum for the small amount of oranges.

Ta tundis kergendust ja mõistis, kui oluline on Maarika kohalviibimine ja tema keeleoskus.

He felt relieved and realized the importance of Maarika's presence and her language skills.

Tarmo ja Maarika läksid minema, naeratades ja nautides uudseid maitseid.

Tarmo and Maarika walked away, smiling and enjoying the new flavors.

Nad mõistsid, et iga turulkäik on seiklus – eriti, kui kohalikega suhtlemisel on mõned naljakad hetked.

They understood that every trip to the market was an adventure—especially when there were some funny moments while interacting with the locals.

Lõpuks tundis Tarmo suuremat hulka austust Maarika pingutuse vastu õppida kohalikku keelt ja nad mõlemad nautisid koos uudiseid elamusi.

In the end, Tarmo gained a greater appreciation for Maarika's efforts in learning the local language, and they both enjoyed their new experiences together.

Maltal pikal ja suvisel päeval polnud paremat viisi veeta aega kui uuenaruteste maitsete keskel turul.

On a long, summer day in Malta, there was no better way to spend their time than surrounded by novel tastes at the market.
