👋Приветствую, товарищи!

• Зализывать раны (после + Genintive) (imperf.)
[za-li-zy-vat' ra-ny (pos-le)]
=
• Зализать раны (perf.)
[za-li-zat' ra-ny]
SLT: To lick one's wounds (after..)

🔻Despite its literal translation, this Russian idiom doesn't refer to physical injuries. Instead, it describes the process of recovering from a defeat, setback, offense, or other negative event. It's about emotional and mental healing, taking time to recover strength and composure after a difficult experience.

🔻The prefix за- in the verb зализывать implies the completion of an action, bringing it to an end or a result. In this case, it signifies complete recovery.

Example (resemblance to actual political events is purely coincidental!!):

• После схватки кот и собака зализывали раны, понимая, что хрупкий мир может рухнуть в любой момент.
After their scuffle, the cat and dog licked their wounds, aware that their fragile peace could collapse at any moment.

During the reign of Emperor Alexander III, a soldier named Oreshkin got drunk in a royal tavern and became disorderly.

🔻When they tried to reason with him, pointing to a portrait of the Emperor, Oreshkin retorted, "I don't give a damn about your Emperor!" He was arrested and charged with insulting the Emperor.

🔻After reviewing the case, the Emperor, finding it trivial, wrote the following resolution:
"Dismiss the case, release Oreshkin, and henceforth forbid hanging my portraits in taverns. Inform Oreshkin that I also don't give a damn about him."
