"Полчаса" means a half of hour.
Thank you! Cпacибo! the english version was "30 minutes", still thank you!Originally Posted by Cocos
Полчаса без любви, полчаса...

Пожалуйста! Исправляйте мои глупые ошибки (но оставьте умные)!

Так, просто, к слову Есть такой бородатый анек:
- А Вы не знаете, почему пол-литра пишется раздельно, а полбутылки - слитно?
- /*Ответ я забыл*/

am I right? (am i improving my russian reading? because I could recognize the words, in the cycrillic text without translating them)
translation please sorry I know some Russian, but not that muchOriginally Posted by astronomer
Yes, you're absolutely right.Originally Posted by YuliaVolkovaFan
thanks!Originally Posted by gRomoZeka
astronomer just recollected an old joke:Originally Posted by YuliaVolkovaFan
- Do you know why half a litre ("пол-литра") is spelled as separate words, and half-bottle ("полбутылки") as one word?
- /'I forgot the answer'/ (i.e. astronomer doesn't remember how this joke ends)
And actually "пол-литра" is hyphenated.
oooh! it makes more sense now!Originally Posted by gRomoZeka
Now I'm curious what the answer is supposed to be in this joke. Does anybody know?
I can share the grammar rule, though:
"Пол-" (a half - from "половина") in compound words is spelled:
HYPHENATED, if the next letter is
1) vowel - пол-арбуза, пол-яблока
2) "л" - пол-лимона, пол-литра
3) capital - пол-Москвы
*Exception - word "поллитровка" (half-litre bottle)
AS ONE WORD, if the next letter is consonant (except "л"):
полгода, полкниги, полчаса, полбутылки
yeah it would be cool to know, I will post it in the "fun" section here and ask for the answer
But!Originally Posted by astronomer
Заходит мужик в магазин и берёт две поллитры.
Wellll you should have. Because it was so incredibly obvious s/he was talking about that Taty song (and even if s/he wasn't), look what sort of useful discussion has come from it?Originally Posted by kalinka_vinnie
I guess you just gotta choose your battles matey.
Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
