\u0421\u043c\u043e\u0301\u0442\u0440\u0438\u0448\u044c \u0432 \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0443 \u0432\u0438\u0301\u0434\u0438\u0448\u044c \u0444\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0443<\/strong> is a silly phrase Russians say when they are reading something but can\u2019t understand anything. According to Wikipedia\u2019s definition<\/a>, \u0444\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430<\/strong> is \u2018a rude gesture, in which the hand is in the form of a fist with the thumb placed between the index and middle fingers\u2019. It\u2019s usually used to express that you won\u2019t get anything. For example, your friend might make that gesture at you if you ask them for gum and they don\u2019t feel like giving you any.\u00a0 You can see what a \u2018\u0444\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430<\/strong>\u2019 is in\u00a0Jenya\u2019s very informative blog on common Russian gestures (with pictures\u00a0!).

Now, let\u2019s get nerdy about \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0438<\/strong>!<\/h4>\n

First, we have the word \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430 (book). Three of its most common diminutives are \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u043a\u0430<\/strong>, \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u0435\u0447\u043a\u0430<\/strong>, and \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u0438\u0446\u0430. <\/strong>They all mean “a little book or a cute book”. \u041a\u043d\u0438\u0436\u043e\u0301\u043d\u043a\u0430<\/strong> can also mean ‘a little book’ but it also implies that the book is not important or that the speaker thinks little of that book . And a person who loves books is a \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0433\u043e\u043b\u044e\u0431<\/strong>, applicable as both masculine and feminine (there is no \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0433\u043e\u043b\u044e\u0431\u0430<\/span>).<\/p>\n

Here are a few famous kinds of books that have similar names in both Russian and English:<\/p>\n

\u0410\u0434\u0440\u0435\u0441\u043d\u0430\u044f \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430<\/strong> \u2013 address book<\/p>\n

\u041f\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0301\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0430\u044f \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430 <\/strong>– Cookbook<\/p>\n

\u041a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0433\u0430 \u0420\u0435\u043a\u043e\u0440\u0434\u043e\u0432 \u0413\u0438\u0301\u043d\u043d\u0435\u0441\u0441\u0430<\/strong> \u2013 Guinness Book of Records<\/p>\n

And you have probably heard of an adjective \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u043d\u044b\u0439<\/strong> (\u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u043d\u0430\u044f<\/strong> \u2013 feminine, \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u043d\u043e\u0435<\/strong> – neutral, \u043a\u043d\u0438\u0301\u0436\u043d\u044b\u0435<\/strong> – plural) that\u2019s commonly used \u0432 \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u043e\u0441\u043e\u0447\u0435\u0442\u0430\u0301\u043d\u0438\u044f\u0445 \u0441 \u0441\u043b\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0301\u043c\u0438 \u2018\u0441\u0442\u043e\u0301\u043b\u0438\u043a<\/strong>\u2019 (table), \u2018\u043f\u043e\u0301\u043b\u043a\u0430<\/strong>\u2019 (shelf), \u2018\u0448\u043a\u0430\u0301\u0444<\/strong>\u2019 (case), \u2018\u043c\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0437\u0438\u0301\u043d<\/strong>\u2019 (shop) etc.<\/p>\n

You also have noticed that in Russian, along with a bunch of other languages \u201ca library\u201d is \u0431\u0438\u0431\u043b\u0438\u043e\u0442\u0435\u0301\u043a\u0430<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Finally, this wouldn\u2019t be a proper Library Sign-Up month blog if I didn\u2019t have a Russian book recommendation for you.
