#113 Our favourite mistakes: Grammar
▶️ Please translate the following sentence:
Sizning do’stlaringiz juda ham ko’p, men sizga havas qilaman.
❌ Perhaps you think it is:
You have too many friends, I admire to you.
✅ Well, it should be:
You have so many friends, I admire you.
❓Why?
❗️ The English too is always negative. When someone has too many friends it means something bad, like they don’t have time for their family or they party too much, etc. Instead of too you can use so or a lot of which is neutral.
❗️ Admire does not need to in English.

#75 Travelogue Uzbekistan: Corona Society
The use of face masks, social distancing and hand sanitizers says less about the virus than people actually. What's there to analyse?
Face Masks
Uzbeks have worn them for some reasons other than protection: a) to go with the flow, b) to avoid paying a fine, c) to look more professional, d) to cover up as a Muslima or e) to distinguish oneself as a progressive global citizen.
Social Distancing
This was never really a thing here, thankfully. You can’t tell Uzbeks not to shake hands or hug. It spared them from the alienation that many westerners feel nowadays.
Hand Sanitizer
Some mask lovers got addicted to this ritual. It makes them feel health-conscious and modern. Sadly, some kids are still greeted by nurse-looking spray-bottle-wielding teachers every morning.
While the signs remain in place (laziness? decoration?) masks have been repurposed as number plate covers.
