The word \u043f\u043e\u0434\u044a\u0435\u0437\u0434 consists of the prefix \u043f\u043e\u0434- (proximity) and the root -\u0435\u0437\u0434, which is related to \u0435\u0437\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c (to ride). \u041f\u043e\u0434\u044a\u0435\u0445\u0430\u0442\u044c is really “to drive or ride up to something.”<\/p>\n

\u0414\u0432\u043e\u0440 is a yard or a courtyard. However, unlike communities consisting of single-family homes, Russian buildings do not have a front or back yard in the traditional sense. Most people live in tall apartment buildings, some of which may form an imaginary rectangle. The space inside that\u00a0rectangle is called \u0434\u0432\u043e\u0440.<\/p>\n
