Thread: Look!

I've found very interesting site about Russia. http://wowrussia.com/ You can find out many information about Russian symbols here. Just remember it's a funny site.

Thanks for providing the link. There are a lot of interesting facts about Russia on the site!

Haha! That site is actually pretty cool!

Ms Marus has a wonderful sense of humor, and puts a lot of knowledge behind it! Thank you for posting this, S_Miller.

С сарказмом, но познавательно. Хотя кое-что может быть непонятно иностранцам.

I've always been interested in ways to explain the culture of udaff.com to foreigners. This one cracked me up...

"So if you want to show Russians that you know their contemporary culture and understand their non-trivial humour you may just say "Preved" instead of the usual hi."

There is one actual mistake there. The saying "лаптем щи хлебать" does not imply that this is a hard task, rather the opposite.
Or I didn't get a joke.

"Лаптем щи хлебать" means "to be uneducated, uncivilized", быть деревенщиной (yokel, country bumpkin).

"Это вам не лаптем щи хлебать" = ~ Это вам не ерунда какая-нибудь (не ваши деревенские занятия), не легкое что-нибудь.

Замечательный сайтик!

loved it, thanks for sharing
reminded me I had van'ka-vstan'ka when I was a kid, wonder where is it now

here's another cool link about Russia, but be warned it's basically a load of bull yet it has to be admitted that in this particular case the provervial grains of truth have been applied quite liberally. enjoy

(note it is to be read out loud and with a thick Russian accent, roll all your r's)
