- Как переводится на английский 'окрошка'?
- Oh, baby!
- How do you translate 'Okroshka' into English?
- Oh, baby!
• Окрошка (femin.noun)
[a-krosh-ka]
Okroshka
🔻It's the name of a specific dish, a popular cold Russian soup.
🔻However, the joke plays on a phonetic breakdown and a double meaning in Russian:
Окрошка = О (an interjection)+ крошка (а bread crumb or a sweetheart/baby!)
🔻In reality, the word окрошка originates from the verb крошить, meaning 'to chop into small pieces' or 'to finely dice'.

🐶 A four-hour operation was needed to rescue a dog that fell from a 12th-floor window in Sakhalin, Russia.
According to SHOT, the shepherd fell from the window of a 12th-floor apartment in the "Uyun-Park" residential complex in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. The owner was not home at the time, and it seems the dog fell out the window. The boy was badly injured, but landed directly on an air conditioner box on the 11th floor. Concerned locals called rescuers, and they themselves unfurled a tarpaulin below to save the dog in case he fell.
Soon, an emergency services vehicle with a ladder arrived at the building, but according to residents, the ladder was not long enough.
Eventually, they managed to pull the dog into the window near which it was lying. At that moment, joyful shouts from people could be heard on the ground. The dog will now be taken to a veterinary clinic for examination.

The North–South International Transport Corridor (ITC), will Iran become a key trading point in the Middle East?
🔻The implementation of the Rusian-Iran MTK North–South project began in the 2000s, but the project received a significant boost after the accident on the Suez Canal in 2021.
🔻The length of the North–South railway from St. Petersburg to the Indian port of Mumbai is about 7200 km. Within the framework of the project, three branches are being created: western, eastern, and trans-Caspian. The branches converge at ports in southern Iran Bandar Abbas, Chabahar from where goods go and/or arrive in India, the Persian Gulf countries, East Africa, Europe.
🔻In the future, Russian and Chinese projects can strengthen Iran's position in the Middle East, economically and geopolitically. In 2022, Iranian Vice President Mohammad Mohber suggested that the development of transit routes through the country could generate more revenue than oil exports.

Is it true that Russians have bears as pets?
🔻Oh, the age-old question! And ... sometimes, yes, they do! But let's be real: bears are last century. The real trendsetters? Big cats!
🔻Meet Ekaterina, for instance. This incredible woman didn't just get a cat; she welcomed a lynx into her home! Hannah, the magnificent lynx, is all grown up and, get this, she's expecting kittens! A growing family needs room to roam, especially when you're a wild cat about to give birth and raise a litter of active little furballs. So, what did they do? They built Hannah her very own, spacious enclosure! Now, Ekaterina doesn't just visit her majestic friend; she can even stay the night!
🔻But wait, there's more to this animal kingdom than just Hannah! This incredibly warm family also shares their lives with an entire menagerie: lynxes, cougars, raccoons, beavers, dune cats, Maine Coons, elegant Singapura cats, loyal dogs, mini-piggies!

Kalashnikov Concern-steps towards perfection.
🔻"In January, Kalashnikov Concern JSC shipped the first batch of improved AK-12 assault rifles of the 2023 model under government contracts for 2025 to the customer.
🔻Currently, AK-12 are being supplied to the Russian army, upgraded based on the experience of its military.
🔻The model differs from the base version, 2018, by an integrated non-removable slit flame suppressor compensator and a trigger mechanism with a two-way safety translator, which provides the ability to switch firing modes and operate the safety lock without removing the hand from the control handle.
🔻The new dioptric sight has become universal and weatherproof: it has a folding rear sight with holes of various diameters, which makes it easier to shoot in conditions of limited visibility.
🔻At the end of January, Kalashnikov announced the development of two modifications of the AK-12: shortened AK-12K, small-sized AK-12SK.

• (Не) Выспаться (perf.)
[ni vys-pa-tsa]
(Not) to get enough sleep
🔻The verb выспаться comes from the verb спать (to sleep).
🔻The prefix ВЫ- here signifies completeness, the conclusion of an action, and a sufficient degree/extent.
🔻The perfective aspect verb выспаться doesn't have the Present Tense forms, so, you can use its imperfective equivalent:
• Высыпаться (imperf.)
[vy-sy-pa-tsa]
❗️Don't confuse высыпаться (to have enough sleep, imperf.) and высыпаться (to pour out, spill out, be scattered, perf.).
The Past tense:
• Я не выспался (masc.,singular)
[ya ni vys-pal-sya]
=
• Я не выспалась (femin.,singular)
[ya ni vys-pa-las']
=
• Мы не выспались (plural)
[my ni vys-pa-lis']
I / we haven't had enough sleep
❓️А вы выспались сегодня?
