101 Conversations in Simple Russian (Ch. 29) by Olly Richards - Russian with Anastasia

Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel. Welcome to everyone who is watching in recording. And of course, welcome to those who are watching now. I did not warn when the next live will be, when we will read the next chapter of this book. Spontaneously enough. As always. We have read 28 chapters. The last time we read chapter 28, which was called a governess. A governess, that is, a nanny, or as a babysitter. Already now they say in Russian babysitter too. Today we will read chapter number 29. And this chapter is called a guard. Hello, hello! This chapter is called a guard. A guard is a person who guards the territory, the house, some place. That is, this person watches or watches the order. We say to watch the order, or to watch the order. That is, a person watches everything to be good, calm. There were no criminals, there was no crime. A guard is a person who watches the order, for everything to be good in this house or on this territory. For example, the house where I live now, we also have guards. They do not allow people who do not live here to pass. They stop and ask, and where are you going? This is very cool, it helps me feel safe, for example. So, a guard. Who remembers, the last time Alice talked to Polina, and Polina is Marina's governess. The governess of that girl, Marina, who is a daughter. Marina is a daughter, the owner of this house. And with the governess, with Polina, Alice talked. And in chapter 29 we see that when Polina leaves, Alice asks questions to Victor. I hope you have already opened the book. Hello everyone! I hope you have opened the book. If you have a paper one or if you have an electronic one, also open it on a tablet, on a phone, on a computer, where you are comfortable. When Polina leaves, that is, Polina leaves the room, Alice asks questions to Victor. To whom? Victor or Alice? Oh, I'm sorry. Alice asks Victor what she wants to know. First, Alice says, It seems that Polina is a very good governess. It seems, or I think. It seems is like an equivalent in English seems to me. It seems to me, we can say. It seems that Polina is a very good governess. But is it normal that Marina is alone at home all day like yesterday? Alice asks Victor. Is it normal that Marina, that is, Victor's daughter, is alone at home all day like yesterday? That is, all day alone, there is no one with her. She is alone. Alone. Victor says, Yes, not very often, but sometimes she is alone at home. A girl or a girl is alone at home, if it's a man or a boy, it's alone at home. Do you know the famous film Home Alone? And this film in Russian is called One home. So we have different options. One home for a boy or for a man, and one home for a girl. Yes, Victor says, Not often, not very often, but sometimes. But sometimes she is alone at home. Marina is already quite an adult, and maybe at home alone. Enough. Enough is not very, but quite an adult. The equivalent in English is quite. Quite. Quite an adult. An adult, that is, not a small child, not quite such a child as three years old or four years old. She is quite an adult and can be at home alone, can be alone at home. Is our guard always at home? Olga and Sergei too. As you remember, Olga and Sergei are cooks. In chapter 26 we read about cooks. Their names are Olga and Sergei, husband and wife. Olga and Sergei too. That is, she is not one hundred percent alone. Guard at home and two cooks. Olga and Sergei are also at home. Thank you. Alice says, And who is your guard? What is his name? Where is he? Three questions at once. And who is your guard? What is his name? Where is he? That is, where is he now? Victor says, His name is Denis. He is from Kolomna, not far from Moscow. I do not know why Victor decided to say where this guard is from. Maybe to show that he is not from Moscow, but from a small town. Maybe for Victor it is important to show that the guard is from a small town. He is from Kolomna, not far from Moscow. Kolomna is a small town near Moscow. Alice asks, How old is he? Victor replies, Almost forty. Almost. What does it mean? Almost forty. It can be thirty-nine, thirty-eight, maybe thirty-seven. Almost forty is a little less than forty. If he is forty-one or forty-two, we cannot say almost forty. Almost forty is even less than forty. One house, one neuter. What can be one? One window? One house is like a person or someone alive. For example, a dog is one house. Or a cat is one house. One neuter, I think we do not use. So, Victor says that he is almost forty. That is, probably thirty-nine or thirty-eight. And Alice asks, How long has he been working here? How long has he been here? How long has he been working here? Three years, five years or how long? Victor replies, Yes, for a long time. He wants to say that five years is a long time. Of course, five years is many years. And Victor says, Yes, for five years. That is, for five years this guard, whose name is Denis, has been working in his house. Alice asks, Is he a good guard? Victor replies, Yes, very. That is, a very good guard. His main job is to control the surveillance cameras. Main, that is, his most important job. The main is like main. The main task, the main work, the main job. The main task is to control the surveillance cameras. What does surveillance camera mean? To observe is to watch, to watch carefully, to observe. And I think if we look at the surveillance cameras, if we try to translate into English. To control the surveillance cameras. There have never been robberies in the house before. That is, this robbery, which we have been reading about for 29 chapters, this is the first time, as Victor says. There have never been robberies in the house before. Who forgot what robbery means? The robbery. That is, someone stole something from the house, took not his own. There have never been robberies in the house before. Until yesterday. It is interesting that we say yesterday. As you can see, the word yesterday, when yesterday. But we can also make an adjective. Adjective. Yesterday. To say until yesterday, we can not say until yesterday. It sounds ugly, we speak Russian until yesterday. For example, the word today can also be made an adjective. Today. And the word tomorrow can also be made an adjective. Tomorrow day. Or tomorrow meeting. Tomorrow trip. Some important trip, for example. Oh, I'm worried about tomorrow's exam. That is, what will be tomorrow, tomorrow. What is today, today. Or today, today. What was yesterday, yesterday. Or yesterday. And this is the end of the chapter, a very short chapter again. What were the important words here? All day alone at home. All day home alone. Or all day alone at home, if a man. Security camera, we do not say so, but you probably understood correctly. Camera, you know, here in stores, in shopping centers, I think in hotels. There are cameras that are in the elevator, in the corridor, I think in the parking lot. To look correctly, to be safe. To look for security, or to look for order. Watch, check that everything is right and in order. Everything is in order. We look at the cameras. At the same time, I don't know, 10-15 cameras. Enough adults. Quite old or adult enough. Old enough, adult enough. The word adults, yes, it's more like adult. We use adults, for example. Adults and children. But adult enough is like an adjective. Security cameras. Or literally, literally, security cameras. We say security cameras. Until yesterday. I have already told you all the words. Anna is not my name. Anna is ... Anna in Russian, in Russian, Anna, 2 N, is Anya. Little name Anna. My name is Anastasia, and in Russia the little name Nastya. Anna is not my name. No one ever tells me Anna. Either Anastasia or Nastya. Anastasia is a big name, Nastya is a small name for friends, for the family. Anna will never be. And that was the 29th chapter of the guard.
