Uzvar or vzvar is a similar drink to kompot, prepared from various dried fruit and sometimes berries, sweetened with honey or sugar, popular in Ukraine and Kuban. Kompot or compot is a non-alcoholic sweet beverage that may be served hot or cold, depending on tradition and season. It is obtained by cooking fruit such as strawberries, apricots, peaches, apples, rhubarb, plums, or sour cherries in a large volume of water, often together with sugar or raisins as additional sweeteners. Sometimes different spices such as vanilla or cinnamon are added for additional flavour, especially in winter when kompot is usually served hot. Kompot is popular in Central and Eastern European countries as well as in Southern Europe. src.: Wikipedia photo ref.: https://suburbangrandma.com/uzvar-dried-fruit-drink-recipe/

my friend and i were going to study a language together and wound up having to cancel our plans due to scheduling pressures, but! through research we came across a really cool resource for reading in a TON of languages: bloom library!

as you can see, it has a lot of books for languages that are usually a bit harder to find materials for—we were going to use it for kyrgyz, for example, which has over 1000 books, which was really hard to find textbook materials for otherwise. as you can see it also has books with audio options, which would be really useful for pronunciation checking. as far as i can tell, everything on the site is free as well.

Vasilisa and Baba Yaga

Guys, a new game based on the Russian fairy tale Vasilisa the Beautiful has recently been released.

It's an adventure with gorgeous visuals and great music. Just look at this:

The story is basicaly retelling of the fairy tale "Vasilisa The Beautiful", so if you haven't read it yet, this game is a great way to familiarise yourself with the tale.

The gameplay is a little bit clunky, but it's still a great experiance for an evening, try it.

You can find the game in Steam: Vasilisa and Baba Yaga

And how do you chop onions?

Доброе утро 😁

Песни, которые звучат, как Колетт 🙏🙏🙏

Иметь" (imet') is a more general verb that can be used to indicate possession or ownership of tangible and intangible things. It is often used when talking about possessing something more permanent or long-term.

Есть" (est') is used when referring to the immediate availability or presence of something. It is commonly used to talk about temporary possession, current circumstances, or the availability of something at a given moment

Я (Ya) - есть (yest')

Ты (Ty) - есть (yest')

Он/Она/Оно (On/Ona/Ono) - есть (yest')

Мы (My) - есть (yest')

Вы (Vy) - есть (yest')

In many cases, both "иметь" and "есть" can be used interchangeably to express possession. However, using "есть" often emphasizes the presence or availability of something in the present moment, while "иметь" is more neutral and can refer to both present and long-term possession.
