• Намарафетиться (perf.)
[na-ma-ra-fe-ti-tsa]
Or
• Навести марафет
[na-ves-ti ma-ra-fet]
SLT: To make 'marafet'
🔻In the thieves' jargon of the early 20th century this phrase meant ‘by deceiving, to convince someone of one’s innocence’, as a result of which the word “марафет” acquired two meanings - 'order, beauty' as the desired result of 'making a marafet' and 'cocaine' for bringing the deceived state closer to drug intoxication.
🔻Nowadays 'навести марафет' means to make yourself look attractive, to give yourself an attractive look by tidying up your face, hair, using cosmetics (usually about women).

• Карадахская теснина
The Karadakh Gorge
🔻Imagine: steep cliffs rising 170 meters, squeezing a river, forcing it to rage through a narrow gorge, just 3 meters wide in some places!
🔻This is the Karadakh Gorge – one of the most impressive places in Republic Dagestan!
🔻The gorge was formed over thousands of years by the work of water, which, carving its way through the rocks, created this stunning canyon.
🔻Here, time seems to stand still, and the beauty of nature is breathtaking.
❓Do you want to see it for yourself? Put it on your travel list!
📍Geoposition: Dagestan, Russia

Всем доброго утра! Some grammar instead of morning coffee☕️ 😉 ?

[a-paz-dy-vat']
=
• Опоздать (perf.)
[a-paz-dat']
To be late (for/to)
❗Mind the difference in spelling (-а-, -о-)
🔻Prepositions 'на' and 'в' (+ accusative case) are used with the verb 'опаздывать' but their usage depends.
🔻We use 'в' when referring to more general concepts like school or university:

[ya a-paz-dy-va-yu f shko-lu]
I am late for school.
🔻We use 'на' when referring to a specific place or event, like work or a meeting:
(See the video)
- Почему ты опоздал на встречу?
- Ты не поверишь!
[pa-chi-mu ty a-paz-dal na fstre-chu? ty ni pa-ve-rish]
- Why are you late for the meeting?
- You won't believe me!
