In Russian we don’t say “You’re annoying”, instead we have “ты меня бесишь (ty men'a besish)”, which literally means “You’re turning me into a demon” and this is just too #relatable.

Just a fun fact #2

In old Russian times, people used to say "спаси тебя бог" (spasi teb'a bokh), which literally means "God save you". But then, someone took the first and the last word from that sentence and put them together. This is how "спасибо" (spasibo) was created back in 17th century, and Russians use it as "thank you" nowadays.

this post isn't about translation or Improvisation. it's just a couple of pictures I took in Moscow so far.

I'll be back home this Sunday. my next translation is half done already. thank you for your patience!

"In my language, we don't say 'I love you'. We just tag each other in memes and I think that's beautiful."

is polyglot culture understanding a few words overheard in a conversation in a language you’ve never studied before between strangers in a public place because they speak a language that is from the same language family as a language you study and feeling a m a z i n g about it ?
