• Не месяц май!
[ni mye-sits may]
SLT: It's not the month of May!

Meaning:
It's cold outside. Don't dress like it's warm. May hasn't come yet.

🔥 Use this colloquial phrase when someone is underdressed for cold weather, and you want to remind them that spring (or warmth) hasn't really arrived.

Just like in Russia today...

Happy May 1st, Russian learners! ☀️

In Russia, we say:

• Мир! Труд! Май!
Peace! Labour! May!

But for you, let's change it a little:

• Май! Учёба! Русский!
May! Studying! Russian!

No work today. Just spring, rest, and one small verb conjugation. Maybe two. No pressure.

С праздником! ✨

Эй, хочешь немножко интЫрнета? Первый раз бесплатно.
Hey, wanna little bit of internet? First time's free.

💢 The mispronunciation of интернет (интЫрнет) tries to capture the feeling of a slightly rough, informal offer.

🐶 A dog-scooterist was spotted in St. Petersburg - the furry one took away a kid's ride. The only scooter rider we approve of!

🔥Some linguistic stuff you can skip:

• Отжать (perf.)
[at-zhat']
1) To wring smth dry
2) To take away / to steal / to jack

🔻Originally, отжать meant to squeeze out (like juice from a fruit). In 1990s slang, it took on the meaning of to squeeze something out of someone - hence, to take or steal.

🔻This is not the same as украсть (to steal quietly). Отжать has an edge of open, cheeky, or semi-forceful taking. Often used for comedic effect.

Example:

• Хвостатый отжал у ребёнка средство передвижения.
The furry one took the kid's ride.

No guilt. Just fur and determination.

Саммит Большой восьмёрки обкашливает вопросики.
The G8 summit is hashing out little questions.

• Обкашлять вопросик (perf.)
[ap-kash-lyit' vap-ro-sik]
SLT: To cough over a little question

Meaning:
This slang phrase means to discuss something thoroughly. To talk it through. To figure things out calmly and carefully.

🔻It comes from Russian verb кашлять (to cough)

🔻The prefix ОБ- means thoroughly.

🔻In English, you'd say: to hash things out / to talk it over / to chew it over

I bet you've never heard this before, or have you?
