     Хто цалком здрави у глави, ма моцни фундамент, таке вироятно шицко тото лєгчейше преґура, алє кед вам фундамент дзирави, да нє повем слаби характер як я, вец трешенє жеми може направиц озбильну чкоду и руциц вас до депресиї.

     Xto calkom zdravi u hlavi, ma mocni fundament, take virojatno šicko toto ljehčejše pregura, alje ked vam fundament dziravi, da nje povem slabi xarakter jak ja, vec trešenje žemi može napravic ozbilʹnu čkodu i rucic vas do depresiji.

     Anyone who is completely sane in the head, has a strong foundation, will probably push through all this more easily, but when your foundation is hollow, not to mention a weak character like me, then an earthquake can do serious damage and throw you into depression.

     Можем повесц же було наисце чежки периоди, и зоз троїма дзецми и шицкима обовязками коло фамелиї нє було лєгко, алє ниа, я ше трудзим, робим, и нє одуставам, озда як и кажда друга жена.

     Možem povesc že bulo naisce čežki periodi, i zoz trojima dzecmi i šickima obovjazkami kolo fameliji nje bulo ljehko, alje nia, ja še trudzim, robim, i nje odustavam, ozda jak i každa druha žena.

     I can say that there were really difficult periods, and with three children and all the responsibilities around the family it was not easy, but look, I strive, I work, and I don't retreat, I suppose like every other woman.

• While Slovak povedať has an irregular conjugation, поведац (povedac) and its prefixed derivatives follow a straightforward Type 1 conjugation, i.e. поведам, поведаш (povedam, povedaš), etc.

Inherited from Old Slovak poviesť. By surface analysis, по- (po-) +‎ весц (vesc).
