😎 Приветики, товарищи!

Раз or Один?

• Раз = one
  [ras]

• Один = one
  [a-din]

🔻“Раз, два, три” is really only used when counting orally.

🔻“Один, два, три” is the main way to count “one, two, three” both orally and in written form.

🔻Some people might say that counting “раз, два, три” is not grammatically correct, but the phrase is so common and familiar that it’s no use crying over that spilled milk.

🔻BTW 'Раз' сan be not only a numeral but also a noun:

• Раз (разы)
  [ras (ra-zy)]
  Time(s)

• Раз, два три! И она села на шпагат с первого раза!
[ ras, dva, tri, i a-na se-la na shpa-gat s per-va-va ra-za]
🇬🇧 One two, three! And she did the splits the very first time!

ТЕПЕРЬ vs СЕЙЧАС

• Теперь
  [ti-per']

• Сейчас (from old Slav. 'сей' + 'час' -> this hour)
  [siy-chas]

🔻Both adverbs are translated as 'now'. ✔️Но есть один нюанс!

🔻СЕЙЧАС refers to a shorter period of time: 'at this very moment'.

• Мы отдыхаем сейчас.
  [my a-dy-kha-yem siy-chas]
🇬🇧 We're taking some rest now. (Without any link to the previous actions).

🔻Whereas ТЕПЕРЬ is a broad concept of time in a number of concepts “раньше (before), теперь (now), потом (after that)”, more shaded by the meaning of 'result' or 'then/after that'.

• Мы всю неделю работали ✔️как папа Карло. Теперь мы отдыхаем.
[my vsyu ni-de-lyu ra-bo-ta-li kak pa-pa kar-la. ti-per' my a-dy-kha-yem]
🇬🇧 We've been working hard the whole week. Now we're relaxing.

=
• Раскачаться (perfective)

🔻From the verb 'качать' to rock, to swing

🔻Prefix РАС- when added to verbs, forms verbs with the meaning of increasing intensity.

2) However, there's a 💢colloquial meaning of the verb: to get off to a slow start, to be slow to start acting.

• Что-то ты медленно раскачиваешься! Давно пора начать работу!
[chto-ta ty med-lin-na ras-ka-chi-va-yish-sya! dav-no pa-ra na-chat' ra-bo-tu]
