🇷🇺 Утро начинается не с кофе. Утро начинается с мысли, что надо было лечь пораньше ...
🇬🇧 Morning doesn’t start with coffee. Morning starts with the thought that it was necessary to go to bed earlier ...

👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

• Пораньше (adverb)
[pa-ran'-she]
=
• Раньше (adverb)
[ran'-she]
(A bit) earlier

🔻Both words come from the adverb 'рано' (early).

🔻'Пораньше' sounds more informal than 'раньше':

• Завтра нужно встать раньше/пораньше.
[zaf-tra nuzh-na fstat' ran'-she/pa-ran'-she]
Tomorrow you need to get up earlier.

🔻Also comparative:

• Мой кот встаёт раньше, чем я.
[moy kot fsta-yot ran'-she chem ya]
My cat gets up earlier than I do.

🔻'Раньше' is also used in reference to past events:

• Раньше я ложился спать до полуночи. (masc.)
[ran'-she ya la-zhyl-sya spat' da pa-lu-na-chi]
I used to go to bed before midnight.

🎧🗣👇 Лёгкого понедельника!

Smolny Cathedral: A Baroque Masterpiece in St. Petersburg

🔻Smolny Cathedral is a stunning example of Baroque architecture and a must-see for any visitor to St. Petersburg.

🔻The foundation stone of the Smolny Monastery was laid on 30 October 1748. The ceremony was crowned with 101 volleys from 20 cannons.

🔻The Resurrection Novodevichy Smolny Monastery is a women's monastery.

🔻Thanks to Rastrelli's distinctive outlook, Smolny Monastery was created as a non-standard interpretation of Baroque - unlike European "façade" styles, Smolny was intended to be viewed from all sides.

🔻Smolny Cathedral became a kind of "record-holder" - no building in St. Petersburg was built so long - 87 years! This number is inextricably linked to the history of the cathedral - for 87 years, services were held in the cathedral and for 87 years it stood closed.

🔻 Its stunning beauty and fascinating story will leave a lasting impression.

🇷🇺 Определите направление кота.
Чтобы определить направление кота, нужно начать его гладить. С какой стороны сделает кусь - там и голова.
🇬🇧 Determining the direction in which a cat is facing.
In order to determine the direction in which a cat is facing, you should start stroking it. The direction in which it bites you is where its head is.
