    У меня есть смутная догадка, что это что-то из латыни.

    Edit: I got it. There's a singer Alanis Morissette and she sings a song "Ironic"
    and "isn't it ironic" is from the lyrics. http://www.reallyrics.com/lyrics/A002200020005.asp
    "Happy new year, happy new year
    May we all have a vision now and then
    Of a world where every neighbour is a friend"

    может быть, это ирония. А честно, она (Аланис) совсем не поняла, что значит "ирония"

    например: как дождь в день свадьбы

    наверняка пафос, а не ирония..
    это был бы ирония, если бы был в пустынном районе, и не шёл дождь через месяца ... ну, я уверен, что вы понимаете

    хмм "ирония свадьбы" - новый русский кинофильм?

    (исправите, пожалуйста!)
    Heh. Yeah, Alanis is lacking in literary knowledge. You COULD come up with contexts in which the situations in the song would be ironic, but it's a stretch. Although I can't come up with an ironic situation for "ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife." Maybe if a guy who made a few million selling, I don't know, asbestos-tainted ginsu knives was attacked in his kitchen by a vengeful cancer victim's brother, and the ginsu knife guy reached into a drawer for something to defend himself, but the drawer was all filled with SPOONS. Plastic picnic ones.

    ведь мы также знаем ..... однако, ЭТО НЕ ИРОНИЯ!!!



    между прочим, спасибо за исправления ...

    yandex.ru gives пустынный район as a synonym for пустыня .. is that wrong?

    ещё один вопрос ... почему "где дождь не шёл месяц" без предлога? И это "месяц" - именительный падеж?

    Btw you're on form there Lindzi with your revenge story .. what's ginsu?

    IMHO, it's wrong for this case. You didn't mean a desert in its common meaning, but you wanted to say there are no rains everyday. Also the meaning word is 'район' and the word has strong associations with living blocks and factory areas. That's because 'засушливый' makes it clear and takes off those incorrect thoughts.

    через - is used when you are waiting for an event and you know when it's gonna heppen. (Автобус придёт через два часа)
    You can tell about periodical events by word "каждый". (Автобус приходит каждые два часа)
    You are waiting for an event (usually for scheduled event) but it doesn't happen (right on time). (first person: Автобуса нет [уже] час; third person: Автобус не шёл [уже] час)

    в таком случае, можно сказать:

    Я не видел его (уже) неделя

    или надо:

    Я не видел его на неделю

    OK and just to proverit':

    the first means 'I haven't seen him for a week'. So it means we use vinitelniy padezh for this construction?

    and the second means 'I haven't seen him this week'

    correct?
