Probably, people in Russia do not a<\/span>wait any other season as much as spring. Finally, the snow melted, the birds started<\/span> singing, and nature began to acquire bright colors.<\/p>\n

For a long time in Russia, spring was treated with gratitude and honor. Writers have devoted an endless number of novels and poems describing spring nature. The people invented proverbs and sayings. In this blog, I would like to focus on such a pearl of folk wisdom. Thus, h<\/span>ere are six of the most famous sayings about spring.<\/p>\n

\nSpring, Spring, time of love. (Alexander Pushkin<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

Not only nature comes to life in spring, but to some extent, people as well. Just as bears leave their dens after hibernation, so people leave their homes to enjoy the sun’s rays.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“\u041b\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u0441\u043a\u043e\u0432\u043e \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0432\u043e – \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0432\u0435\u0441\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u043d\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c”.<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “A kind word is like a spring day.”
\nTransliteration: La<\/span><\/strong>skavoye slo<\/span><\/span><\/strong>va \u2013 shto vese<\/span><\/span><\/strong>niy den’.
\nMeaning: Just as flowers bloom in the spring sun, pleasant words lift your spirits.<\/p>\n

“\u0412\u0435\u0441\u043d\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0439 \u0434\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u0436\u0435 \u0442\u0440\u0443\u0445\u043b\u044f\u0301<\/span>\u0432\u044b\u0439 \u043f\u0435\u043d\u044c \u0440\u0430\u0441\u0446\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u0435\u0442”.<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “In the spring, even a rotten tree stump blooms.”
\nTransliteration: Vesno<\/span><\/span><\/strong>y da<\/strong>zh<\/span>e truhlya<\/span><\/strong>vyi pen’ rastcveta<\/span><\/strong>et.

\"Bird\"

\u0412\u0440\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u043c\u044f \u043b\u0435\u0442\u0438\u0301<\/span>\u0442 \u0438\u043d\u043e\u0433\u0434\u0430\u0301<\/span> \u043f\u0442\u0438\u0301<\/span>\u0446\u0435\u0439… (\u0418\u0432\u0430\u043d \u0422\u0443\u0440\u0433\u0435\u043d\u0435\u0432)
\nTime sometimes flies like a bird…(Ivan Turgenev<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

Since in Russia birds are often associated with spring, there are many sayings where they are mentioned together. For example, here are two opposite proverbs:<\/p>\n

“\u041f\u0435\u0301\u0440\u0432\u0430\u044f \u043b\u0430\u0301\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0447\u043a\u0430 \u0432\u0435\u0441\u043d\u044b\u0301 \u043d\u0435 \u0434\u0435\u0301\u043b\u0430\u0435\u0442”.<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “One swallow doesn’t make a spring [to come].”
\nTransliteration: Pe<\/strong>rvaya la<\/strong>stochka vesny<\/strong> ne de<\/span><\/span><\/strong>layet.
\nMeaning: Only one piece of evidence does not mean that something is definitely taking place or about to happen.<\/p>\n

“\u0423\u0432\u0438\u0301<\/span>\u0434\u0435\u043b \u0433\u0440\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0301<\/span> – \u0432\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0443\u0301<\/span> \u0432\u0441\u0442\u0440\u0435\u0447\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u0439!”<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “I saw a rook – welcome the spring!”
\nTransliteration: Uvi<\/strong>del gracha<\/strong> \u2013 vesnu<\/strong> vstrecha<\/strong>y.
\nMeaning: Rooks with starlings arrive first in spring, while it is still cold and the snow has not yet melted. Hence, the arrival of the first birds means the onset of warm weather.<\/p>\n

In addition, in this blog<\/a><\/strong>, you can find the names of ten birds that live all over Russia.<\/p>\n

\u0412\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0301<\/span> \u2014 \u0432\u0440\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u043c\u044f \u043f\u043b\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u043d\u043e\u0432 \u0438 \u043f\u0440\u0435\u0434\u043f\u043e\u043b\u043e\u0436\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u043d\u0438\u0439. (\u041b\u0435\u0432 \u0422\u043e\u043b\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0439)
\nSpring is the time of plans and projects. (Leo Tolstoy<\/a>)<\/h2>\n

There is another saying “\u0447<\/span>\u0442\u043e \u043f\u043e\u0441\u0435\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0448\u044c, \u0442\u043e \u0438 \u043f\u043e\u0436\u043d\u0451\u0448\u044c”<\/em> (“y<\/span>ou reap what you sow”). What is happening now is the result of what you have done in the past. But the direct sense of the phrase speaks for itself. And, of course, we are talking about the harvest:<\/span><\/p>\n

“\u0412\u0435\u0441\u0435\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u043d\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c \u0433\u043e\u0434 \u043a\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0440\u043c\u0438\u0442.”<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “Spring day feeds a year.”
\nTransliteration: Vese<\/strong>niy den’ got ko<\/strong>rmit.
\nMeaning: The meaning of the proverb is that the work done in the spring in the fields will lead to a good harvest in the future.<\/p>\n

“\u0412\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0301<\/span> \u043a\u0440\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0301<\/span> \u0446\u0432\u0435\u0442\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u043c\u0438, \u0430 \u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0441\u0435\u043d\u044c \u043f\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0433\u0430\u0301<\/span>\u043c\u0438.”<\/strong>
\nTranslation: “Spring is red with flowers, and autumn pies.”
\nTransliteration: Vesna<\/strong>\u00a0krasna<\/strong>\u00a0tsveta<\/span><\/strong>mi, ah o<\/strong>sen’ piraga<\/strong>mi.
\nMeaning: In this proverb, the word “\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0441\u043d\u0430\u0301<\/span>” means “beautiful,” “good.” In the spring, people plant seedlings, and in the fall, they harvest.<\/p>\n

Therefore, to get a good harvest, be sure to read what Bota told us about gardening<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, I want to say that that <\/span>“\u0443 <\/span>\u043f\u0440\u0438\u0440\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0434\u044b \u043d\u0435\u0442 \u043f\u043b\u043e\u0445\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0439 \u043f\u043e\u0433\u043e\u0301<\/span><\/span>\u0434\u044b”<\/em> (“n<\/span>ature doesn\u2019t have bad weather”). And even frequent spring rains continue to inspire poets in their own way. So,<\/span> see what wonderful poems about spring Russian classics have<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. Enjoy spring blossoms and every single day!<\/p>\n
