Krikalev 2013, 100x125 cm

Sergei Krikalev, a Russian Cosmonaut who holds the record for the most time spent in space by a human being at over 803 days.  While he floated in space, the USSR collapsed and he was left in space alone for four months. He could watch from the space how his country fall into decay. In 1991, he was stranded at Mir (mir = peace in russian) for almost four additional months, when the Soviet Union collapsed.

“Sergey the Astronaut” 2014, o/c, 101x72 cm

With Valery Bykovsky’s death last month (on the same day as Gagarin’s death), Alexei Leonov and Boris Volynov are the last two remaining cosmonauts from the Air Force Group 1 selection, the first cosmonauts team

Chuvash vocabulary- some adjectives

Adjectives are negated by placing “мар” (mar) after them. So чипер, beautiful, becomes чипер мар, “not beautiful”. You don’t need to worry about vowel harmony here. In Chuvash, adjectives are not declined to agree with nouns.  ватă - Old (of a person) кивĕ - old (of a thing) аслă - older, senior кĕçĕн - younger, junior çамрăк - young çĕнĕ - new пысăк - big пĕчĕк - small ăслă - clever (minimal pair!) ухмах - stupid шултра - large вĕтĕ - tiny хаклă - expensive йÿнĕ - cheap лайăх - good аван - good начар - bad вăйлă - strong (вăй on its own means strength, and adding лă/лĕ makes it an adjective) вăйсăр - weak (by putting сăр/сĕр on the end, we create a word meaning “without x” so “weak” is literally “without strength”) сивĕ - cold. A fairly useful word in Chuvashia honestly. ăшă - warm вĕри - hot нумай - many сахал - few вăрăм - long, high, tall çÿлĕ - tall лутра - short, low тÿрĕ - direct пылак - sweet тутлă - tasty йÿçĕ - sour ырă - good, kind  усал - mean хӳхӗм - beautiful, прекрасный илемлĕ - beautiful кăлтăклă - inadequate (кăлтăк= a mistake, a shortcoming) кăлтăксăр - perfect, impeccable вăтанăç - shy савӑнӑҫлӑ - joyful телейлĕ - happy кăсăк - interesting кукăр - crooked лапчăк - flat  çăмăл - light, easy хытă - hard йывăр - heavy çинçе - narrow, thin, slender  сарлака - wide анлă - wide, open (like a field) сайра - rare тарăн - deep хаяр - sharp, cruel кирлĕ - necessary. This is used like нужен in russian- you can say “мана ручка кирлĕ” for example, as “I need a pen”, just like “мне нужна ручка”  нÿрĕ - damp йĕпе - wet ăнăçлă - lucky, successful алама - dirty, rubbish таса - clean юлхав - lazy There are two ways of doing a comparative in Chuvash. You can use the suffix (та)рах/(те)рех like -er in English- so you could use it if asked to pick between options,  for example- “Мĕнле йÿнĕрех?” “Which is cheaper?” “ку йÿнĕрех/йÿнĕтерех”  “this is cheaper” you use тарах and терех if the word ends in  в, л, м, н, р or й.  The second way is to use the inferior noun in the ablative case (ран/рен/тан/тен) and not decline the adjective. “вăл манран ăслă” would be “he is cleverer than me”. To form the superlative, you don’t decline the adjective, but instead place the word чи in front of it. So to say “my mum is the best!”, you’d say “манăн аннем ЧИ лайăх!”.  By adding -хи after the comparative form, you can make an adjectival noun meaning “the -er one”. So you could take the adjective  “пуян”, make the comparative as “пуянрах” and then add хи as “пуянраххи” to create a noun meaning “the one who is richer”. The same suffix works for non-comparative nouns, but the difference is instead of using х, it reduplicates the final consonant, or if it ends in any vowel other than ĕ/ă, it replaces that vowel . So вăрăм  could become вăрăмми, “the one who is long/high”. Likewise шурă, white, becomes шурри, “the white one”.  By adding the suffix скер, which doesn’t vary. you create a similar thing, but in this case it means “one of the x ones”. So пуянскер would be “one of the rich ones”, and пуянрахскер would be “one of the richer ones"

Some intensifiers чăн - extremely, truly; питĕ, пит, питĕрех - very, extremely, superlatively; ытла, ытах, ытлашши - too, very; майсăр - very, extremely, incredibly; темĕн тĕрлĕ - unusually майĕ çук - indescribably. акăш-макăш - unusally, unbelievably, very

Chuvash Vocabulary- basic verbs

Links to previous Chuvash stuff and the memrise course I’m using for this

All verbs are given in the imperative form, as it is the simplest form of a Chuvash verb. To form the infinitive, the suffix ма/ме is added. This functions as an adverbial form to show the aim or the result of an action. кур look! курăн show yourself! кай leave! кил come! куçар translate! ĕçле work! лар sit! вула read! итле listen! ĕç drink! юрла sing! çывăр sleep! шухăшла think! хисепле count! шутла Think! çи eat! юрат love! калаç разговаривай! кала say! амант hurt! васка hurry! пурăн live! çыр write! пыр come visit! шыра search! чим wait! ыйт ask! пулăш help! вĕрент teach! тăрăш try! астив try out! тыт hold! ташла dance! йăт pick up! юл stay! ахăр shout! сывла breathe! вĕрен study! кăтарт show (something)!

СССР. День космонавтики.

More than 2 million Syrians have fled to Turkey, driven out by the fighting that erupted in their homeland in 2011. But none can claim an odyssey quite like that of Mohammed Faris.

As Syria’s first and only cosmonaut, Mohammed Faris rocketed into orbit with two Soviet colleagues in 1987. He conducted experiments and photographed his country from space. By the time he returned to Syria, most everyone in the country knew his name.

Yet Faris is now a refugee himself, fleeing to Turkey after speaking out against the government’s efforts to crush the 2011 uprising. He ended up in Istanbul, much better off than most, but a refugee all the same.

SNOW VEEM GO DOM

I'm waiting this for a long time, dude.

Finally done with the whole range again! I am thinking this is probably the solid final version. Now I can move on to writing about them!

You may be cool, but you’ll never be “match rotation with a dead space station and actually dock with and salvage it” cool

Ahh yes!!!💕

Maybe you and I exist together on a different wavelength than the rest of the world. Perhaps, we are on a separate frequency.

The map is from this website: online.seterra.com/en So, I didn’t post anything until now because I want to write more settings of these anthropomorphic countries. I also want to submit a more updated designs so you guys can have a better idea of these characters. I finally get this done and here is the whole range of the Middle East animals. For those who didn’t know why I draw the Muslim countries as cats and the Jewish state as dogs. Well long story short Israeli loves dogs and Muslim love cats in general, also these two kind of animals’ behavior can blend into the behavior of the countries, so I made this decision. After all if you look at this area high above, all these conflicts are just dogs and cats fighting. Later on I’ll post all of the design of them here with the description as well. But for now that’s it. I do not own the flags. However I use it as a color palette to design them, therefore I only own the anthropomorphic design.

me: *takes a deep breath*

me: i lo-

anyone who has spent five seconds around me ever: yes, you love Yuri Gagarin, we know, you love Yuri Gagarin so much, he’s the light of your life, you love him so much, you just love Yuri Gagarin, we KNOW, you love Yuri Gagarin you fucking love Yuri Gagarin ok we know, we get it, YOU LOVE YURI GAGARIN. WE GET IT.

Ahaha, finnaly I can access tumblr again ;))) the Syrian cats belongs to @mon-mon-mon-mon ! Her middle east cat oc are really cute HUUUAAAHH💕💕💕💕
