"Sveti Valentin ima ključ od korenin." (Saint Valentine has the key of roots.) Presumably, plants and flowers start growing on Valentine's Day and we welcome back spring!

Unlike in North America, Valentine's Day celebrations in Slovenia are largely centered around romantic love. 

Here is the Valentine's Day related vocabulary and if you need help with pronunciation, you can watch a short here:

Wishing you all a love-filled Valentine's Day! 💕

Here is vocabulary on drinks. Verb "piti" (to drink) is followed by the fourth case (accusative). This means that in the case of feminine nouns the suffix -a changes into -o. Similarly, if you want to order a drink, you have to use the fourth case. For example: Želim vodo (I want water); Želim piti kokakolo (I want to drink coca-cola); Pil/a bom sok (I will drink juice).
