So I Was Innocently Watching A Stand Up About Russian Language And Found This Comment. Even Though It

Some cat vocabulary ^^

Another Improvisation post! Thank you for the feedback and the suggestions! Fun fact: Dr. Dolittle's name in Russian is Айболи́т (Aibolit) which is a combination of a Russian exclamation «Ай!» and the word «Боли́т» («hurts»). The Russian translators really wanted to make his name speak for itself so they literally named him «Ouch, (it) hurts».

The magic of the language...

Happy learning about this meme day!

The very infrequent “Russian meme of the day” topic continues with a meme that’s been going strong for over a year now that I’m sure you will appreciate. 

It started with joking about your elderly relatives online sending out of the blue funky images congratulating you with the most random celebrations, the progenitor of such being this:

Cement day

Which soon enough caught on and became a meme, now supplying you with celebratory images for all occasions 

Happy broken charger day! 

Happy 4 hours of sleep day!

Happy burnout day!

Happy chip day! a classic of vaccinations 

Happy teflon pan tay!

Happy welded joint day!

Happy stress eating day!

Happy fucking scorcher day!

Happy day of day!

Happy waiting for the next day day!

Happy sad vegan sausage day!

The celebrations are endless, so I congratulate you with endless celebrations day!

Back in the 90’s, my mom was doing a fan translation of this one book that wasn’t translated into Russian yet, but she was sure it was going to be. I read it in English and was sure she was wasting her time because I thought no person in the world would be interested in something like this. Eventually my mom didn’t finish the translation because she couldn’t negotiate with the publisher, but a couple of years later it was oficially released by the name of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone”. Well, I was a little wrong. Source: vk.com/pn6

Here's a comp of completely random pictures in Russian that make me giggle: pt 3

Just a fun fact #4

It's time for some slang!

Sometimes, when we want to say "___ is not the same now" ("___ уже не тот"), we say "___ is not a cake now" ("___ уже не торт"), because I guess "тот" and "торт" sound similar. Plus, by comparing the object with cake we express our disappointment that it is not as sweet and good as it used to be.

Examples:

"Шерлок" уже не торт - "Sherlock" is not a cake now

Мне раньше нравилась эта группа, но сейчас она уже не торт - I used to like this band, but it's not a cake now

Я подписалась на этот канал ради обзоров мемов, но сейчас он уже не торт - I subscribed to this channel for meme reviews, but it's not a cake now

“Back in my art school, I had a nasty and strict professor who would comment on every bad work of mine with “What is that? Even dolphins would do a better job!” Even though he would often be extremely annoying and piss me off, he still was a great teacher, so right after I graduated I gave him two tickets to a dolphinarium and saw his smile for the first time.” Source: vk.com/pn6

Actually, we don't say 'бутылированная вода' that often because I guess it takes a lot of time to say it. We prefer saying something like 'вода в бутылке' (voda v butilke) which means 'water in a bottle'. Although it doesn't mean that 'бутылированная вода' is not used at all.
