This episode will teach you a funny Russian phrase describing regular office workers as well as a few
other cool and useful expressions.
Присту́пим, не откла́дывая.
“Office plankton” is a product of our time. I love this expression as it very vividly describes
the entire crowd of “rank-and-file managers” and low-paid office workers. This social layer
is characterized by low motivation to work, low creativity and low salary. And, as a rule,
dissatisfaction with their own work.
The offline version of the podcast includes the episodes in MP3 and PDF formats. The PDF files are available in two
versions: for desktop and mobile devices.
– Где́ ты живёшь?
– На се́вере го́ рода.
– Да уж, не бли́ жний свет.
Спроси́ что поле́гче – среди́ хоро́ ших знако́ мых э́ то дово́ льно типи́ чная реа́кция на
вопро́ с, на кото́ рый вы отве́тить не мо́ жете и́ ли затрудня́ етесь. Наприме́р:
“Ask me something simplier” – among good friends, this is a typical reaction to a question
that you can not answer or find difficult to answer. For example:
И напосле́док: чуть ра́нее я сказа́ла спаси́ бо за наво́ дку. Наво́ дка – э́ то подска́зка.
And to finish with: a little earlier said “спасибо за наводку”. “Наводка” is a hint,
suggestion.
Ну вот и всё на сего́ дня. Вам жела́ю расцве́та тво́ рческих спосо́ бностей и фонта́н
остроу́мия! До сле́дующей встре́чи!
And this is it for today. May your creative abilities blossom and the sharpness of your mind
gush forth! Until next time!
