Arun's developed quite a random new hobby. He gets random Russian words stuck in his head, and he spends the day repeating them.
Last week, he was stuck on the word "nyetho." And all day long, he kept saying, "nyetho" in a funny high-pitched voice and shrugging his shoulders. "Nyetho!"....over and over. Finally, I broke down and asked him- "Do you even know what that means?"
"No!" he said happily.... "Nyetho!"
He just thinks the words are amusing!
The other day, he started saying, "Null...Chitiri...Voseem...Null." He must have gotten the last four digits of a phone number from a radio advertisement stuck in his head!
Sometimes I actually translate for him and tell him what the words mean. But I've realized he doesn't really care, and he just likes saying the words.
All this is coming from a guy who makes fun of Ukrainians for listening to American music without understanding English! At least music has a beat you can enjoy!
I concern about gas problem between Russia and Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteI have some friends in Europe.
I hope you all don't get cold.
Take care.
Arun sounds like a child when he's learning to speak! So funny!
