Speaking our native language is as natural for us as breathing. But how well do we know Russian? Stories about the origin of words are more fascinating than any novel and more mysterious than any detective. Before you - the amazing adventures of words. Why the press is "yellow" and the market - "flea"? How did the word "fake" come to mean "fake"? Why did the crow - a bird that will certainly not miss its own, or even take someone else's, - become a symbol of swagger? And youth slang - is it good or bad? "To put on" or "to put on"? "To go" or "to go out"? "To eat" or "to eat"? We're always correcting and correcting each other. And yet, what is the right way to say it? What mistakes do we "catch" from radio and television most often? And which ones did Pushkin work on? It is difficult to speak Russian perfectly. Mistakes are made by the most literate people. The main thing is to try to correct them, to comprehend the logic of the language, to be interested in its history and endlessly enjoy its beauty. Before you - the second edition of the book, with new materials about the incredible Russian language.
