• И ежу понятно
  [ i yezhoo panyatna ]

SLT: It's clear even to a hedgehog

Meaning: It's no brainer, it's so obvious.

Origin:
According to one version, the origin of this phraseological unit is associated with the system of education in the first Soviet boarding schools.
There, more capable students were taught for 2 years (the classes were called A, Б, В, Г, Д), and less capable teenagers studied for 1 year (classes with letters Е, Ж, И).
One-year students were called 'ежи' (hedgehogs) according to the letters of the classes.
To emphasize their superiority, the capable students used the expression “Это и ЕЖу понятно."

Synonyms:
• И дураку ясно
  [ I durakoo yasna ]

• Ой, мороз, мороз!
  [ oj maros maros]

🔻This song is considered to be a folk one. However, Maria Morozova-Uvarova, the former soloist of the Voronezh Russian Folk Choir, claimed that she wrote this song on one of the cold December days of 1954.

🔻Surprisingly, this song is still very popular with Russians! This year it will be 70 years since the song appeared.

How to use songs to develop your language skills:

1. Listen to the song (Russian + transliteration + English), mind the new words in it. Write them down and try to memorize them.

2. Start listening to the song (Russian + transliteration). Sing along.

3. Listen to the version (only Russian words) several times. Sing along.

4. Listen to the song without looking at the text. Sing along!

Good luck!
