👋Здравствуйте, товарищи!

1⃣ Здесь (formal)
      [zdes']
      Here

🔻"Здесь" is the most formal and neutral option:

• Я живу здесь.
   [ya zhyvy zdes']
   I live here.

2⃣  Тут (informal)
       [tut]
       Here

🔻"Тут" is more informal and casual:

• Посмотри на меня, хозяин, я тут!
  [pas-mat-ri na mi-nya kha-zya-in ya tut]
   Look at me, master, I'm here!

3⃣ Там
       [tam]
      There

🔻"Там" refers to a place that is further away from the speaker.

💢 You can come across a humorous Russian phrase:

• Здесь вам не тут!
  [zdes' vam ni tut]
  SLT: Here isn't not there for you!

🔻It was uttered by former Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. With this phrase he warned a journalist against impolite behaviour. The phrase had no sense and thus became popular.

❓What do the words “напёрсток”, “перстень”, “перчатки” have in common? Why?

• Напёрсток
[na-pyor-stak]
Thimble

• Перстень
[per-styen']
Finger ring

• Перчатки
[pir-chat-ki]
Gloves

🗝
We put all these things on our fingers. In the old days, а finger was called “перст”, and the fingers were called “персты”. But besides this, they have a common root “перст” or “перч”.
