Funny memos in the Russian language

We present to your attention funny memos in the Russian language with 15 rules of spelling, orthoepy and grammar.

Literate speech, both oral and written, immediately betrays an educated and well-read person. Everyone dreams of speaking and writing without mistakes! Of course, only the owner of rare encyclopedic knowledge can achieve a 100% result. However, making your speech cleaner, not cutting your ear is an easy task: and you should start by avoiding at least the most common mistakes in it.

In this article, prepared specifically for the Day of the Russian Language, we tried to put together a few "popular" difficult cases, which are often stumbled not only by children, but also by quite serious adults - in television programs, films, and the media. And in order to remember the rules even a kid could do, we decided to put them in a poetic form.

1. Particle NOT with verbs is written separately.

NOT - the verb is not a friend,
They are always standing apart.
And write them together -
They will never understand you!

(E. Intyakova)

2. HE and NI particles

Oh, how similar NOT and NOR!
But still they are different.
No matter how cunning, no matter how wise,
Do not confuse NO and NO!

3. -TSYA/-TSYA in verbs

In a winter evening, starry, quiet
What is snow doing? Spinning.
And it's time for tomorrow
What should everyone do? Go to sleep.

(E. Intyakova)

4. The stress in the personal forms of the verb “call” falls on the sound I.

My Dunno Neighbor Moans,
His phone doesn't ring.
The cunning apparatus is silent,
Waiting for someone to call.

(I. Ageeva)

5. Put on (what?) clothes; dress (whom?) Nadezhda

Nadia girl WEAR
Put on three dresses boldly,
Cloak put on and coat -
No one gets cold!

I began to dress the doll,
Collect for a walk.
"It's getting hot - Moms!
Should I take off my mittens?"

(E. Intyakova)

6. Come - I will come

- I can't come to you
And I won't go to school.
“But what happened? Tell!
- I can come. I will come.

(E. Intyakova)

7. The verb "to go" in the imperative mood

Green light,
Bear,
You don't go
And don't go,
And never ride -
GO! Remember?
- Yes!

8. The verb “put” is used without prefixes, and “(on) lay down” - only with prefixes.

No food, no lie,
And yes, you can't push it.
And you can put and put -
Remember, friends!

(E. Intyakova)

9. Will I win or will I run? The verb "to win" in the future tense has only a complex form (to win, to become a winner).

“How will I go to the competition, how will I run all of them!
I will win it without effort, if I endure enough!
“Don’t brag, literate, but quickly master the language.
You must know the rules in order to win!

(E. Intyakova)

To read this to me
To become the smartest at once!

The same as Masha, I'll write in my notebook,
Also tomorrow, like Masha, I'll get a five!

Also I will go to the market,
How I walked last year,
I'll buy myself a cow there,
Also horse and goat.

(E. Intyakova)

11. Half words (half a room, half a world, half a watermelon, half a lemon, half a Moscow)

Now it has become clear to us,
Let's never forget:
The word POL with any consonant
It is always written fluently.

Before "L" and before a vowel,
Before capital letter
The word FLOOR is clear to anyone -
Separated by a dash.

(I. Aseeva)

12. Plural genitive of nouns "socks", "stockings", "boots", "shoes"

"Stockings" and "socks" follow a simple rule: the shorter, the longer.

Short socks - long word: socks (6 letters)
Long stockings - short word: stocking (5 letters)

And about “shoes” and “boots”, we invite you to remember a funny quatrain:

One pair of fashion shoes
It costs like a huge truffle.
But leather boots
I bought as much as I could!

(E. Intyakova)

At the same time, you can learn the spelling of the single letter H in the word “leather” (the same is true for other adjectives with the AN/YAN suffix). Exceptions are easy to remember by looking at the usual window : wood, glass, tin.

13. O or Yo? In the stressed suffixes of nouns -ONK-, -ONOK- (girl, skirt, galchonok, teddy bear) the letter O is written.

A bear cub was walking through the forest,
A wolf cub met him:
– There is a crowd of girls in the forest
The whole spilled barrel,
Full of berries, tasty, ripe.
Grab the raspberries!

(E. Intyakova)

14. Cakes - Shorts: the stress in all forms of both words falls on the first syllable.

They ate cakes for a long time -
The shorts didn't fit.
Better to live without cakes,
How to walk without shorts!

15. Spelling of unpronounceable consonants

Both terrible and dangerous
The letter "T" is written in vain!
everyone knows how lovely
The letter "T" is appropriate to write!

We give you memorabilia
Absolutely FREE!

It so happened that I have been living in Spain for several years. I am a slow learner of Spanish as I work in other languages ​​and I would like to share some funny words that are regularly used in Spanish and are fun to laugh at quietly.

This article is in no way intended to offend, offend or show the superiority or wretchedness of anything. It's just that some things seemed ordered to the author, which he writes about.

I'll start with the funniest story. Once I came to the market, I say, give me 2 kilograms of chicken. And then the sellers and buyers nearby almost fall with laughter. In Spanish, chicken is pollo (poyo), and the male sexual organ is polla (poya). Well, you understand what I asked me to weigh ... At the same time, interestingly, the chicken is a masculine word, and the organ is feminine.

Several times I met girls whose name was Concha (I don't know how to spell it exactly, but it's pronounced with the accent on the first syllable). Always told them they had a great name.

A couple of years ago I saw a car from the balcony with Fallas written all over the windshield. That day, it hung me well. Some dude decided to show off in front of the girls, I thought. Only after a while I found out that this is the name of the holiday of Fire (analogous to Shrovetide) and reads like Fayas.

Gallina Blanca - translated as white chicken. I always remember this when I meet Galina. Nothing offensive, it just happened. But no more luck for Sergey in Spain. The verb ser means to be. If you write separately - it turns out Sergey.

Cat in Spanish - Gato. I remembered the first time: from our Russian word "gad" plus "o" at the end.
One day I saw an advertisement for Perdido Gato on the street. I already knew about gato, but I quickly translated perdido into Russian according to the consonant word. I decided that the owners want to get rid of a cat with specific features. Of course, I joked about it, it turned out to be perdido gato - the cat was lost.
