The magical properties of Russian obscenities

The magical properties of Russian obscenities

The mind can not understand Russia...

Great russian poet  Фёдор Иванович Тютчев  wrote a beautiful poem, which is very popular in Russia:

Умом Россию не понять,
Аршином общим не измерить:
У ней особенная стать –
В Россию можно только верить.

Listen in Russian:



There are many translations, but I like this:

Don't cover Russia with your mind,
Don't use your norms for understanding:
It has its outstanding kind -
You must believe without fading.
(Dianov Anton/Дианов Антон)

and this translation:
You will not grasp her with your mind
Or cover with a common label,
For Russia is one of a kind -
Believe in her, if you are able...

(Anatoly Liberman for magazine Russian Life/Анатолий Либерман)

"How are you?" in Russian language

A typical sentence "How are you?" has a somewhat different meaning in Russia. If russian people asked "how are you?", they actually want to know about the events of your life.
How to say "How are you" in Russian language:
1) informal "How are you" you can say as "Как дела?" - kak dela?[kak dila](literally - how are your affairs\business). Also you can ask "Что нового?" - Chto novogo [Chto,shto novova] - what's new?
2) formal "Как поживаете?" - kak pozhivajete?[kak pazhivajete] (literally its mean - how are you live?)

What could be the answer:
1) Fine - "отлично", "прекрасно"-You rarely hear it in Russia.
2) Normally - нормально - normal'no[narmal'na]. Good - хорошо - khorosho [kharasho]
3) Not bad - неплохо -neplokho [njeplokha]. So-so - так себе -tak sebe [tak sjebje]
4) Bad - плохо - plokho [plokho].  There is nothing good - ничего хорошего - nichego khoroshego [nichjego kharoshogo]

This is followed by counter-question: And how do you do?  - А как вы поживаете? - a kak vy pozhivaete [a kak vy pazhivaete]
or more short forms:
And how are you? - А как вы? - A kak vy?
or А у вас? - A u vas?
