• Повеса (повесы)
[pa-ve-sa (pa-ve-sy)]
Meaning:
1. A man who leads a life of leisure, often neglecting responsibilities and prioritizing pleasure above all else, like idle, reckless, self-indulgent.
2. А penchant for women, often suggesting a history of multiple relationships and a lack of commitment, like womanizer, Don Juan.
🔻An 1847 dictionary defines related words like:
• Весь [ves']: village, settlement (probably повеса comes from по весям (to walk) around the villages, drinking alcohol and having fun).
Повеса is also described in old dictionaries as a шалун [sha-lun] a rascal, mischievous person, or ветреник [ve-tri-nik] а fickle person.
🔻Therefore, повеса paints a picture of a lively, perhaps charming, but ultimately irresponsible individual who prioritizes pleasure and romantic pursuits above more serious obligations.
Modern synonym (⚠️a bit rude):
• Бабник (бабники)
[bab-nik (bab-ni-ki)]
A womanizer(s)

Russian has two ways of expressing future actions:
🔢 The perfective way indicates the intention to complete an action in the future:
• выходить (to go out) (Infinitive)
-> выхожу (Present Tense)
-> выйду (Future Tense)
🔻It can be formed by adding a prefix (вы-, за-, на-, по-, с-) to the present imperfective form of the verb (usually without a prefix):
• гуляю (I walk) — погуляю (I will walk)
🔢 The imperfective way indicates an action that will be in progress in the future with an indefinite result:
• Ходить (to go/walk) (Infinitive)
-> хожу (Present Tense)
-> буду ходить (Future Tense)
🔻 This form is formed using the verb я буду (I will)
ты будешь
он(a/o) будет
мы будем
вы будете
они будут
+
the Infinitive of the action verb
🔻According to the poll results:
• Учить русский (to learn Russian)
-> 28% будут учить русский.
• Спать (to sleep)
-> 25% будут спать.
• Читать книгу (to read a book)
-> 24% будут читать книги.
