😎С понедельником, товарищи!

Неохотно 🆚️ Через силу

• Неохотно (adverb)
[ni-a-khot-na]
Unwillingly

• Через силу (adverb)
[che-res si-lu]
SLT: Through force

🔻'Неохотно' and 'Через силу' are both ways to say "reluctantly" in Russian.

🔻But they have slightly different meanings. 'Неохотно' implies a lack of enthusiasm, while 'Через силу' suggests forcing yourself to do something you don't want to do.

💢Colloquial:
• Через не хочу
[che-res ni kha-chu]
SLT: Through 'I don't want'

• Понедельник...идём на работу через силу.
[pa-ni-del'nik. i-dyom na ra-bo-tu che-res si-lu]
🇬🇧 It's Monday...(We are) Going to work reluctantly.

👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

Походка 🆚️ Поступь

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

• Поступь (femin.noun)
[po-stup']
Step

🔻In Russian, both nouns describe how someone walks, but there's a subtle difference:

1⃣"Походка" refers to the overall style and manner of walking, like a graceful or confident gait:
• 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?

👋Доброго утра всем!

Did you know that Завтрак & Завтра are of the same origin?

🔻A well-known source, "Fasmer's Etymological Dictionary," provides information that the word "завтрак"-[zaf-trak]-breakfast originated from the word "завтра"-[zaf-tra]-tomorrow.

🔻Both words ultimately derive from the word "утро"-[ut-ra]-morning. The key is that in the 16th century, the word was spelled with the letter "о" - "завтрокъ", and in Old Russian it was written as "заутрокъ". The etymological dictionary clarifies that the word "заутрокъ" was formed using the suffix "к" from the expression "за утра".

🔻Over time, this expression acquired the meaning of "on the next morning" and then "on the next day," leading to the loss of its original meaning. Thus, "завтрак" is what is eaten in the morning.
