    hii I just came across your channel and as a russian-speaking american constantly going between two languages i LOVE these videos! Russian proverbs are SO RIDICULOUS sounding and so comical but some of them have such interesting origins! Before exams (to this day) my dad ALWAYS says "ни пуха ни пера" and I must respond "к чёрту" and I never understood it (or why he could just wish me luck like a normal dad!) and last year found out that it was used when hunters would go out for a hunt, they would wish them "not fur nor feathers" to wish them a bountiful hunt without jinxing it (не сглазить)- kind of like the American version of "break a leg" coming from theater! Speaking of which.. you could do a whole video on Russian superstitions and the extent they go "чтобы не сглазить"

    Well, here in Italy we have a proverb that says: "a caval donato non si guarda in bocca", which means something like "don't look in the mouth of a horse that was given to you"... I'm still trying to figure out its true meaning, but I think it means that you have to accept a gift without questioning it. I'm not sure about the origins of this proverb, but I've heard that the parallelism with the horse comes from "ancient times", because you can easily see if a horse is healthy and young by the state of its teeth. However, you can't verify this before that horse is yours, so people used to give others the worst horse of their stable just to get rid of it.

      "Зарубить на носу" , кстати, имеется в виду не нос как часть тела, а была такая деревянная табличка, покрытая воском, которую носили у пояса, называлась "нос" - от слова "носить" - на ней делали хозяйственные или торговые записи острым предметом типа стилуса - острой палочки- по воску, потому что в 16-17 веке бумага была дорогая, тем более - для кратковременных заметок. Потом воск нагревали и разравнивали или покрывали новым слоем воска и опять можно было царапать по дощечке этой.

    I think that “Мне глубоко фиолетово” is better to be translated as “I feel deeply purple” and there is a phrase in English which is kind of similar in the sense of color (“to feel blue” aka “feel sad”). If we compare one to the other the first phrase starts to make sense as well. But that’s just my opinion. (I’m Russian btw) Anyway, great video! Keep up the good work :)

    Cool video! I've been wanting to learn Russian for a while now and these could be useful to know if I travel to Russia some time. I've heard some other Russian sayings that I found interesting as well like "The calmer you go, the further along you will be" or "tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are" although I'm not sure if these are common. Can you tell me if you have heard these before?

    3. ??? Это что-то локальное.
    4. Ну, это ясно, правда жизни, причем независимо от пола "козла". (Любовь зла, полюбишь и козла)
    5. Есть че пожрать? (Заморить червячка)
    6. "Иди нахуй", но чуть более комплексным выражением, в некоторых слоях населения, возможно, легальная замена мата, в Петербурге строго НЕТ, рожу могут даже набить. (Я тебе не хрен с горы!)
    7. "Мне похуй", "в западло", но чуть более вежливо, такое можно говорить девушке и она не обидится на грубости. (Руки не доходят посмотреть)
    8. Смотреть пункт 7. (Работа не волк - в лес не убежит)
    9. Въехать в расклад. (Зарубить на носу)
    10. Пойти на риск (Была не была)
    11. (Ни пуха, ни пера)

      Seelistenlearn M Russian people do not wear shoes indoors, I’ve grown up watching my American friends wear shoes indoors and been very confused like what kind of psychopath tracks that much dirt indoors?? Also you wash your hands right away when you get home from someplace. As far as I’ve seen Russians don’t drink that much vodka, but maybe that’s because my parents just don’t like vodka. Russian parents are (mine are anyway) very, very strict about grades. There’s a lot of Russian expressions you could look up as well, for example my mom always used to tell me when I ate too many sweets that my buttcheeks would get stuck together. Also bilingual people don’t insert random words from the other language into sentences unless they are not fully fluent, but even then they would try to avoid it unless they are with people that speak both languages.

    Russian language sounds so beautiful when you speak it. I thought your proverbs were really interesting. I think they make a lot of sense when they were made but over time people forget the logic behind them. It's the same for America and we're only 250 years old.

      :) I love the way Russian sounds. It can sound really different depending if a woman or a man speaks but I think it's a great language. I am American so most of the time if I don't hear English I hear Spanish. I don't like Spanish very much.
      German to me sounds angry. I know people will call me crazy but I don't like French either. There's something about the Russian language though that appeals to me. They have that Nordic kind of tongue where you hear more of the consonants and less of the vowels. And unlike American English you guys put in more enunciation that's not as guttural.
      And of course Russian Women are the best :) They're not covered head to toe in tattoos. They typically still have older fashioned values and a good head on their shoulders.

"this is deeply violet for me"... may be... f.e. it means "i'm just so .... feel like as a violet flower in a higly mountains... like a prince with very aristocratic and gracile manners, i'm in an empyrean now, and you must go away with all your problems"... it's my сonnection :>

    Хороша страна Россия - здесь пасётся конь в пальто,
    Здесь родился, жил и умер знаменитый дед Пихто.
    Через пень растёт колода, оберег у всех - авось,
    Ну а хуже, чем татарин, ясно всем - незванный гость.
    Бережёт тут рубль копейка, голь на выдумки хитра,
    Не по Сеньке вышла шапка, и нет худа без добра.
    Здесь семь пятниц на неделе и не в бровь здесь всё, а в глаз,
    Ну а там, где мягко стелят - точно жёстко будет спать.
    И нашла коса на камень, что посеешь - то пожнёшь,
    Вот нашлась косая сажень, в три локтя не разберёшь.
    Тут везде - ума палата, кто-то в лес, кто по - дрова,
    Нынче стужа ,уж не лето, ну и горе от ума.
    Первый блин всё время комом, каждый тут не лыком шит.
    Стелят, как всегда, солому, коль падение грозит.
    Воду ситом не наносишь, да и в ступе не взобьёшь,
    Спросит пришлый, как же вышло? как понять, ядрёна вошь?
    Только тот меня поймет, кто в моей стране живёт!!!
