• И один в поле воин, если он по-русски скроен.
[i a-din f po-le vo-in yes-li on pa-rus-ski skro-yen]
SLT: And one man in the field is a warrior, if he is made in the Russian way.

🔻This relatively young proverb is an interpretation of the older Russian proverb 'Один в поле не воин' (A single man in the field is no warrior).

🔻It is based on observation of the behavior of Russians who were not afraid of superior opponents on the battlefield.

👋Всем доброго утра!

🔻How should one say 'different' in Russian?

• Разный
[raz-nyj]

• Другой
[dru-goy]

Both adjectives can be translated as 'different' in English.

❗But:

1. 'Разный' refers to 'various and diverse' pointing out the variety.

2. 'Другой' means 'another, other, the other' pointing out something else.

Example:
• Есть разные коты, но мне другого не надо!
[yest' raz-ny-ye ka-ty no mnye dru-go-va ni na-da]
🇬🇧 There are different cats, but I don’t need another!

• Походка (femin.noun)
[pa-khot-ka]
Gait

• Поступь (femin.noun)

• Грациозная / уверенная походка
[gra-tsy-oz-na-ya / u-ve-ren-na-ya ...]

2⃣"Поступь" focuses on the individual movement of the foot, like a heavy or stately step (the latter is archaic):
• Тяжёлая / величавая поступь
[ti-zho-la-ya / vi-li-chа-va-ya ...]

❓А у котика на видео какая походка?
