УРОК НОМЕР ДВАДЦАТЬ ТРИ (№23)

Lesson number twenty three (#23)

AK : This can mean: "He's a question", or:

Ну ни фига себе вопрос!

AK : Use this phrase only in informal situations.
"What a heck with this question!"
i.e. "What kind of question is this!"

А мы пока все здесь спокойно живём.

AK: You can say also "А мы, тем временем, ".
все - all, everyone - is used here for emphasis.

AK: This is an awkward situation.
You can also say it without stumbling:
"You must also have a daughter, it seems".

Ах вы козлина!

AK: It's very rude. Don't use it, ever.
"What a billygoat you are!"

AK-NOTE

Чей means whose.

Иван Петрович, John son of Peter.
In the feminine -ович becomes -овна :
Нина Петровна, Nina, daughter of Peter.

Виноват, literally guilty is said to apologize for a mistake, a blunder.
— Я не виноват, I am not guilty, it is not my fault.

Виноват is "I'm in the state of being guilty".

По Европе [по Европпе], in or over or through Europe.
Europe : Европа;
the final а becomes an е in the prepositional case;
that is all we'll say about it for the moment.

По denotes "moving on the surface of"
Идти по дороге - to walk on the road.

Пока : meanwhile, or while.
— Пора: it is time.

We see here the 3rd person plural of the Present Indicative.
They is они (annee);
я живу, I live,
они живут, they live,
я знаю, I know,
они знают, they know.

К счастью : by luck.
The "ksstchasst" provides you with a good tongue-twister.
Pronounce the hard consonants carefully.

К счастью means "luckily, fortunately".
Literally it's (something has happened) "to the luck".

Listen carefully the pronunciation of this phrase.
There's no "t" sound in "щ".

Их (eeh) : them.
Я его люблю, I love (or like) him.
(feminine я её люблю - I love her).

Я их люблю, I love them.

— Here is (paragraph 10) любить - to love - in the 3rd person plural :
они любят (they love).
We love : мы любим.

Tweested English Section

The great number of notes shows that we are entering denser thickets;
these notes are only signposts to show the way; don't you be afraid of them.
Just a small trial : what gender is in Russian Вопрос, the question?
Masculine, as all words ending with a consonant.
