👋 Greetings to the new subscribers of my channel.

🔸️ I teach English to schoolchildren, and often communicate with English native speakers who want to learn the “great and mighty” Russian language.

🔸️ I am deeply convinced that learning should bring positive emotions🙂, so I had the idea to create a channel with jokes, funny videos and, of course, some grammar rules to help Russian learners.

🔸️You can leave your comments, practice reading and answer questions in Russian in the comments to each post.

🔸️Please check the pinned messages: there you'll find the navigation post with the hashtags I use and the link to the google document where I collected some useful materials like textbooks and sites which can come in handy in your study.

🔸️I will be pleased to receive feedback from you.

🔸️Hope you find this channel interesting and useful!

🤗 Special thanks to @ukr_leaks_eng for the free recommendation of my channel, and my friend @Римма for the help.

Sincerely yours,

Natalie

If you can you read it, you're either advanced in Russian or a Russian.😎

🔞🤚 PLEASE DON'T READ this post if you mind foul language!

Твою (ж) мать!
[ tvayu (zh) mat' ]

🔻The full expression is: "Ёб твою мать!"  (**ck your mother)

🔻However, the verb ёб (past tense to f*ck) is obscene and its use in polite society is unacceptable.

🔻Therefore, this verb is excluded from the phrase, leaving only its ending: "...твою мать!"

😉And decorum is observed, and everyone understands what the phrase means.

🔻Most often, this phrase is used simply as an interjection or an intensifying particle and does not mean anything serious like "Ёкарный бабай!" (see my early post about it).
