"Do We Know Russian?" – Three Books Were Issued with the Same Cover
The Russian language has many catch phrases! We use them easily and naturally! Intuition and a sense of language have almost never let us down!
But the question "Why do we say in such a way?" sometimes makes our brain dive deep in thoughts! Let's think together.
Why can print media be «yellow», and the market be «flea»?
How did the word «linden» appear in the meaning of "fake"?
What mistakes do we "catch" from radio and TV airtime most often? And what mistakes did Pushkin work on? We endlessly correct each other, but, after all, what is the correct way to say?
It is difficult to speak Russian perfectly. The main thing is to comprehend the logic of the language, be interested in its history and enjoy its beauty forever.

There were proposals to introduce a publisher's responsibility for the quality of proofreading in the books published by him/her since it is no secret that visual memory is the strongest among most people and they remember the spelling of a word as they see it in books.
The Publication of the Three-Volume Edition "Do We Know Russian?"
Stories of words are more fascinating than any novel and more mysterious than any detective story. Why did a crow – a bird that certainly will not miss anything – become a symbol of thoughtlessness?
What words came to us from professional slangs?
Is using youth speak good or bad?
It is difficult to perfectly speak Russian. Even the most literate people make mistakes. The main thing is to try to correct them, comprehend the language logic, be interested in its history and enjoy its beauty forever!
