Ч Т О
[ shto ]
🇬🇧 what, that
🔻Most Russians pronounce soft 'ч', that's why 'чё' [ сho ] is prevalent.
🔻However, 'чо' [ сho ] is used in some Eastern dialects (and is coherently used by, say, Shukshin).
🔻Actually чё(чо) is the result of the omission of the -ег- syllable in 'чего'. So it's a relaxed pronunciation of 'чего', rather than 'что'.
🔻Same as with 'сегодня' [ sivodnya ] today -> 'сёдня' [ syodnya ]

Vowel Яя [ya]
🔻Vowel 'Я' consists of two sounds [й]+[а] (j+a). The [й] sound makes the previous consonant sound soft 'дя' [д'а]. So this way 'Я' is read when it is stressed.
🔻 When 'Я' is unstressed, it's usually read like [йи] or ['и].
🎧🗣⬇️ Can you read these words?
мя́ч [м′а] – (ball) мячи́ [м′и] (balls)
я́хта [йа] (yatch) – язы́к [йи](language/tongue)
я́рко [йа] (brightly) – янва́рь [йи]( January)
я́года [йа] (berry) – япо́нский [йи] язы́к [йи] (Japanese language)
ноя́брь [йа] (November)
– за́яц [йи] (hare)

🍁On this day, Russian social media users send each other pics with burning rowan bushes and a gray-bearded man who promises to come and flip your calendar.
So, what the hell are Russians celebrating⁉️
🍁You won’t find this holiday in any calendar, but pretty much every Russian knows about it. They call September 3 ‘Shufutinov Day’.
💔Traditionally, on this day, people flip the calendar, burn rowan bushes, remember their exes and ask each other “Why❓”
🍁This all stems from the now cult song ‘September 3’ about broken hearts in the fall, performed by supreme chansonnier Mikhail Shufutinsky in 1994.
P.S.: If you happen to be in Russia on September 3, don’t even try to switch the radio station - this song will be on them all😂!
And yes, don’t forget to flip the calendar❗
😉 We're going to learn the most important part of this song tomorrow!

🤍 За душо́й ничего́ нет.
[ za dushoj nichivo net ]
Meaning:
1) one has nothing inside one's heart; a cruel person who has no feelings,
2) a poor person who owns nothing
🔻Phraseologism "За душой ничего нет" has an interesting origin:
🔻A place between the collarbones was called the soul, that's the dimple on the neck above the sternum, where, according to popular belief, the soul of a person was placed.
🔻In the same place on the chest, wallets used to be worn💰.
😥 У неё за душо́й ничего́ нет.
