In response to: Пока не (союз)
Thanks a lot
So now I can understand the meaning of
until he fall asleep <=> Пока он не заснет
Actually it mean he is awake (and this action stopped when) until he fall in sleep (asleep)
previous act stopped (He) when another start.
In Arabic we have the same
كان عم يحضر تلفزيون لاحتى خفو (نام)
In response to: Учиться
Огромное спасибо за чёткие разъяснения, аутентичные русские тексты и практические примеры! Многим учебникам РКИ (русского языка как иностранного) этих качеств не хватает: либо неадекватные переводы русских слов на английский, либо запутанные объяснения, либо недостаточное количество примеров. Я очень рада, что нашла Ваш блог, и рекомендую его своим ученикам, изучающим русский язык как иностранный.

In response to: Год (часть первая)
‘Americans read a year like 2012 as “two thousand twelve” or “twenty twelve,” whereas the Russians say literally the “two thousands twelfth year,” which comes out:
две тысячи девятьсот девяносто двенадцатый год’
…which means ‘two thousand nine hundred ninety twelfth year’ !!!
2012 = две тысячи двеннадцатый!
You spelled it correctly in the following sentence :)
Don responds: Thanks! Typo corrected.

In response to: Рыло
I heard this word for the first time last week here in Moscow. The ex[ression was something like, “не суй своё рыло, куда тебя не просят!” Fortunately said by a friend in jest. :)

Жизнь может быть хорошей или плохой, обычно оба, и упорство важно! Я тоже очень рад, что ваша подруга выбрала упорство!
I learned a new word today in your post, so thank you! I think I resemble the guy in your first sample sentence. I have no real talent for languages but I just keep plugging away at Russian and one day I’ll be fluent!
Cheers!
Richard

In response to: Сон
Some people believe that Gogol’s story “Нос” ("The Nose") was meant as a dream - “Сон". Whether Gogol meant it to be taken as a dream or not, it’s a great tale!
In response to: Коса
“Коса” is also a word for spit (long, narrow peninsula). Also, in geophysics we use this word for an array of hydrophones, floating behind the seismic surveyor ship.
