    Exuberance

    'I love the people of Russia for their natural exuberance.' I read this recently. What does it really mean? Do you bounce with excitement over everything?

    English humour was derived from a worse translation and the same is going to be with Russian expressions.
    Я танцую пьяный на столе нума нума е нума нума нума е
    Снова счастье улыбнулось мне нума нума е нума нума нума е

    'Exuberance' isn't a word I'd use in a Russian context.
    А если отнять еще одну?

    I guess, because the author, actually, meant something else.

    It's definitely the wrong word choice

    Variants:
    природная щедрость
    духовное богатство

    Yes. Naturally.

    Is this normal? Should I see a doctor?
    Call to a hardware store: "I'm sure you know more about the caulk than I do...tell me...is there a taste to the caulk?".
