Marina,
Sorry; but I never played grandtheft auto but Mikhale Gorbachave sure must have been pissed to see a coctail ruin his most expensive military toys
Greg
As usual, you are always captivating in any language!
Thank you for making the internet a more enjoyable place!
this is his son, koty. I think you are doing a great job and i believe Grand theft auto IV is great. A major improvement of GTA 3. I would like to know the origin of the phrase “charlie horse”.
How lovely! Russian really is sexy, like John Cleese said in “A Fish Called Wanda”.
omg that was awesome, I am self teaching Russian right now and it is super hard without a teacher. You should do a “simple” Russian video, like how to say Thank you, yes, no, hi, bye… that kind of stuff.
Maybe we can play sometime
add me on xbox live.. Evil Casserole
I just love it when you speak Russian…..
Oh my God !!!!!! I LUV when you speak Russian……..it makes you even SEXIER !!!! (if that’s possible). They should make a new game……”Grand Theft Marina” Then guys like me could try to steal you away!!!!
Dear teacher,
You could go on in Russian forever, I’d love it -
- here in France my first foreign language was English, and 2nd… Russian, this lesson reminds me good old times, when I was a young boy.
who knows , if my Russian teachers had had half your charm,
maybe I’d become a Russian/French translator ?
btw, Love the blunders in Russian, even if I can catch only part of them.
ваш преданный учащийся

oxooxoxoxoxoxoxoox
Very Good!!! I like your lesson! It’s the best!
Супер! На щет GTA IV - нажми и удержывай кнопку “огонь”…
В зависимости от того сколько держать… зависит как далеко упадет Коктейль Молотова…
Ok, what did you say?
He told her to hold the throw button, and it’ll make the Molotov Cocktail go farther.
The same way you throw the grenade you have to hold the button down (only for just a few seconds and then release, hold it for a long time and it blows up on you)…. I wish i had an example of how that works in everyday life, maybe i can think of “1″
Жизнь будет по-другому
ты забыла русский язык???
Well I never leaned it yet. Too busy leaning Hex decimal and Binary.
Dera teacher!
I just wanted to say that I learn new thing every day from you! I knew the answer to the cocktail, but I never thought the russian language could sound so smoth and sensual!
from your dear student / Swedehunter
Dear Marina
Yesterday a saw your russian explanation about Molotov Cocktail with legend in english. Well, I’m brazilian and love this site but my english is not good to understand all that you say. Then, I would like know if it’s possible to insert english legend on all diary hotforwords. So people around the world could follow, well, hotforwords explanations and improve english. You would become the most sensual, sexy and intelligent teacher of the world.

Молодец! Я вижу что многие, спасибо тебе, хотят выучить Русский язык. Я начила серию на Ю-тюбе под назбанием “Russian Lessons”.
Тебя прошу, пожалуйста, помоги мне. 
Покажи линк на моё видео в твоём описание. Это мне так поможет, даже не предстовлаешь. Мой канал на YouTube называется RussianVlog.
Hummm Might be good for a few of us to learn a few phrases. I watched the first lesson. A bit to fast for me. But I guess she was making it more like an introduction to the language. Tagalog, Spanish, German, & Greek are a few languages I have played around with. Greek looks somewhat similar in text as Russian. Do they have the same roots or is just a quincidence?
sure !
I was told by my teacher in my 1st year learning Russian at French school, that the Cyrillic (Russian) alphabet settled in the 9th century after the work of two Orthodox monks - hmm maybe they were Saints as well -
So they borrowed from Greek alphabet they used for liturgy many letters to represent phones of the slavic languages they spoke.
- You’ll find a deeper explanation in Wikipedia’s “Cyrillic” article -
Dear fellow student
If I may, the two orthodox monks were called Cyrillus and methodus if I remember.
Just wanted to help.

I request the word Pigeon. In Grand Theft Auto 4, you can collect 200 pigeons and was wondering, why they are named that. And why they are so frequent around New York City. Thanks.
Marina, I would like to know the origin of the word Erebus. I have no desire to know about the mountain but i do know what erebus means. and i guess its from greek mythology but i want to know where THEY thought of it. definition is this:Classical Mythology. The darkness under the earth, imagined either as the abode of sinners after death or of all the dead.
Dear teacher,
Goddam it! a little bit of time to write something to my teacher!
Very interesting to see the real person. A big gift to us all. Thank you!
But a little bit difficult to analyse the sound of russian!
Bon, puisque c’est comme ça, nous aussi, les élèves qui ne pittons rien au russe, on peut parler dans une langue étrangère !!!!! Et alors là ? Quid understand lo que Ich dis? Because das est facile no mais!!!!!
Well, to answer your question, I don’t play GTAIV. I prefer roleplaying games.
Thank you for this interesting lesson.

Hmm, that spaghetti looks so tasty, it made me wonder, what is the origin of the word spaghetti (I guess it comes from Italian), but what really is it’s origin.
Please share your spaghetti recipe with the class…
Marina, Did you lose some comments again?
you’re the best,Scotthorn
I would like to request the word computer hacker
Thats two words. You only get one word or one phrase.
Yours truly started hacking and pirating back in 1979. I wrote my first virus before I knew they where called viruses. I called it a prank program but it was an early form of computer virus. It was called A dot F. written in BASIC or Applesoft (A Microsoft language - yes Bill Gates was writing for Apple back then, where do you think he got the idea of Windows?)
Both Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs where early computer hackers. The even built blue boxes. Some of the early Macintosh/Apple programs like VisiCal (one of the first spreadsheet programs) where hacks.
I was able to duck out of Operation Sundevil
I think its because I kept myself as a low level hacker. I didn’t boast my hacks.
I think there are two distinct classifications of hackers. White Hat (good) and Black Hat (bad) hackers. Yea and even Gray Hats, but I’m not going there.
Oh the Secret Service is knocking on my door. I have to run bye…
Please define and relate the history of the word “Latin”. I’m latino, but I also understand that there are Latin Europeans, and of course, other variations, such as Latin Americans, and so on. As a word, it has very much Euro-centric connotation in meaning, just as much as Hispanic. Can you convey its meaning and importance in totality to people who seem to have little to no knowledge of its true meaning.
ANYBODY PLAY “GUITAR HERO” OR “ROCK BAND” FOR PS3
Marina, when I first subscribed to your videos about a month ago I have gone back to the first one and watched every video you have made. You can see the changes in your style that keep getting better. Keep up the good work.
GTA4 is the best ever game l’ve ever played! Your So Gorgeous Marina!

Marina,
When I was out in the woods I saw something very interesting. A cow, calf, and bull moose were walking in a field below where I was standing and they were all grazing. The bull was very interested in the cow and he walked right up behind her and tried to mount up. The cow turned her head toward the bull and said as clearly as could be “Noooooooo”. I laughed so hard I could not continue standing. That leads me to the question, where does the word “no” come from???
I don’t know how to throw a molotov cocktail in a drink. I made one once, and we launched it…and then we went to the hospital to take care of the burns. In retrospect, I wish that I could have seen how difficult they are to handle in a CGI world before I tried it in real life.
That was a long time ago, and only the emotional scars remain.
So I have a question about the word “phonetic.” How come it isn’t spelled “phonetically.” Shouldn’t it be “funetic?”
That brings up a whole lot of questions about the English alphabet itself. Has there ever been a move to “clean it up?” Can’t we get rid of the “C”? We have an “S” and a “K” to do the work of the “C”. There are more where that came from .
Can you cover the English GESTURE where the first two fingers are held straight and the others clenched with knuckles facing the recipient. (Like the reverse of Churchill’s ‘v for victory ‘
THIS IS NOT AN OBSCENE GESTURE
Most believe that this means f*** off or go forth and multiply, but if you check the symbol actually originally means YOU ARE ABOUT TO DIE FRENCHMAN and originates from a fantastic tale of Shakespear’s King Henry 5th battle of Agincourt 25th October 1415.
When a retreating English army of 900 was cornered by the French 8000 strong , the English archers (with a range of well over 1km) shot the Falconbergs and Meres at the back of the French ranks before they came into the pathetic 500m range of the French Archers at the front.
French did not take English prisoners of war they always removed these 2 drawstring fingers making them useless archers and unworthy opponents.
So the English displayed them to the French to humiliate them who consequently fled climbing over the bodies of their dead colleagues to be killed by the next shower of arrows raining down in the same spot as before.
Probably the most unexpected outcome of any massacre since Bodicea in Roman times.
I just think that this fallacy for this gesture should made more known.
I’m really late, but all this talk of gasoline explosions & hard driving etc.
Makes me realize that gasoline does flow in my viens. this is as it were right up my alley. For all the old cogers that Marina allows to come to this place http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI40qNY7mIU
Marina, I have a question I have been thinking of asking since last night. What is the reason you bought the game?
She should get the game for free for pomotional purposes, or better yet get paid $$
Who says the game needs promoting ? Most people I know slept on the street outside the shop to be the first to buy it !
I have a theory of why she purchased the game. If someone asked me if she purchased the game I would not have believed them because of her perceived profile. It didn’t make any sense. Which is why I asked the question. I don’t want to post my theory for it might become a Schroders cat and effecting her answer.
BillyB, I can email you my theory if your interested. Just shoot me an email. I think you still have it.
That’s Erwin Schrödinger, just in case anyone was trying to look the reference up.
Thanks buzz,
I didn’t think I had his name spelled correctly and I should have looked it up.
BillyB and I had a long discussion about my theory and about car racing which was very interesting. If anyone wants my email just go to my contact page and fill out the form and I’ll email you back. I just don’t want to post my email online here for spam robots to scoop up.

~~__(\__ Oh look a storm. Let go check it out!
Dear Marina:
From all the chatter here it is apparent that there is quite a bit of interest from your fans in learning Russian (or at the very least, watching you as you speak it. Russki seems to go well with sipping Stoli…) Perhaps you should consider opening a pay site where you could teach those of us who are Russian language impaired…
I have always liked the sound of Russian (Especially when coming from the lips of one as lovely as you.) but I haven’t got the time now to go back to school and take Russki yizzik classes. I’m sure there must be others out there like me. I’d like to learn it even if I couldn’t get college credits. Do you think it might be worthwhile researching, or would it cut into your GTA IV time too much?
It’s almost scary how quick you replied to make question about my “gravatar”…kinda makes me wonder how you stay so in shape if you stay in front of the computer that much…
Can you send me a copy of your diet, Marina? I want to give it to my girlfriend.
dude?
Does the left side of Jimmy24651 taste bad ?
Don’t believe her, I hear the fridge is near empty. Your avatar pick looks good & you managed to get it quicker than i got mine. Cheers
Eat a healthy diet of locally raised organic food or better yet become a vegetarian. I can provide you with a bunch of scientific studies and shit. Guessing her BMI, physiological characteristics and attachment to animals, I’ll lay you odds that marina is a vegan.
More shit than scientific studies, I bet…
Howdy Marina!
GTA IV sounds like a great game. Wish I had a PS3 or Xbox 360 (Got a Nintendo Wii tho)
I was watching one of your lessons the other day (can’t remember which one), and I remember you mentioning the word ‘onomatopoeia’. This inspired me to ‘investigate’ the origin of this word.
*kaibanator investigates!*
I found some info from wikipedia:
Onomatopoeia. The word is a synthesis of the Greek words όνομα (onoma, = “name”) and ποιέω (poieō, = “I make” or “I do”) thus it essentially means “name creation”, although it makes more sense combining “name” and “I do”, meaning it is named (& spelled) as it sounds (e.g. quack, bang, etc.).
So thank you very much for teaching us philology and I am looking forward to watching more of your lessons
sweet thanks for the quick reply
“Oooh Ooh I requested it” *raises hand*
And one more thing….I can’t seem to figure out how to upload a picture for myself, instead of having this boring little gray square as my icon…any help?
Yes I asked for help with that too !
Marina we all love and adore you !
Are there any languages besides English and Russian that you speak fluently/beautifully?
She looks to be smart as anything so I wouldn’t put it past her to speak other languages, and even if it was totally pronounced wrong from her it would still sound beautiful.
For some reason a lot of people I know who speak Russian as their first language tend to have English as their third (or fourth
) language.
Hope you are doing well!
The 1st answer to your question, “does anyone know how to throw a molotov cocktail in GTA IV?” No. because the game was just recently released in the usa.
The 2nd answer. I love the Grand Theft Auto franchise, since my first time with GTA III. My biggest favourite so far is GTA San Andreas. Makes me want to play right now.
p.s.
you’re such a beautiful sight to see, first thing after waking up.
Great Lesson Marina
Loved the idea with using Russian. you should do more of these lessons 
just a small question, why did you said “HotForWords must investigate” rather then your usual line 
Anyway, Keep up the great work
and I hope to see more video’s in the good old native language 
Dear Teacher,
I wish you all the best on National Teacher Day!! Thanks for enriching our lives with lasting contributions of knowledge, wisdom and beauty. I place a virtual apple upon your virtual desk. I am positive all of your students would vote for you as teacher of the year!
Hi Marina, id like to request the the words: Placebo, nocebo and the word poignant.
do you now something from slovakia speak ? i am from slovakia
Marina and aLx - further to my log on issue…. it’s weird - I “logged on” using the button at the top right of the home page. I then clicked to the Molotov Cocktail page and the “reply” links were on. However, I clicked to the Mayday Game page, and the “reply” links were not on. I tried a couple times (same browser window as well as different browser window), and same result. I am sure that in a little while, the Mayday Game replies will be on too; at least that’s what’s happened lately.
This is just weird! I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue.
After loggin if a page doesn’t show reply I’ve been hitting the digg & then when I hitt the blue & return the replies work “dunno why?”
Ah, so I’m not the only one! Whew! I was starting to think I was crazy.
No your not crazy. Just take the blue pill and all will be fine.
I’ll take the red pill, Thanks anyways. I’ll stay in wunderland
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGQF8LAmiaE
I ain’t needs no pills!
I lost four months of my life playing a game called Doom!!!! Never again!!!!!!! so have not played vid games since then, which was a long time ago……G-Sibs kick serious butt on vid games and get annoyed when they fail to complete the mission……GT looks pretty cool just have little time to play.
Marina, any chance you could teach us students a little of your mother tounge, Russian word/ phrase of the week would be great.
Superduper lesson, look fantastic as ever
HFW’s143always…….
Марина, в русском языке нет понятия “для дополнительного кредита” в данном контексте. Звучит как плохой дословный перевод
Марина
Спасибо за видео на русском))) И кстати что касается коктейля Молотова в GTA… Надо его просто кидать выше и на объекты которые далеко от тебя!
PS а вы можете делать видео с русскими субтитрами пожалуйста))) а я буду вас рекламировать в России
Марина
Спасибо за видео на русском))) И кстати что касается коктейля Молотова в GTA… Надо его просто кидать выше и на объекты которые далеко от тебя!
Где вы были, russianboy?
where were i???
Yes, this lesson should’ve been right up your alley yet you were tardy!
(No reply necessary.
)
You’re so sexy when you speak Russian…
And the lesson was really interisting today. Thanks Marina.
Could you make a video for me in french soon ?…
Love from France,
Bibul
Hey Marina. I love your videos. I totally dig this one with all the Russian language! Two things:
1) What is the origin of the word ‘video’?
2) Suggestion: Start Videos teaching us all Russian!!
That was excellent Marina! keep up the good work. Five Stars for our dear teacher! thanx for mentioning me! Yayy!!!
Where did the word nuts originate from to make it mean crazy
? 
Please anser this question
From TongueTwister
As I have raced real cars & built a few up for my son to race, video games, I don’t have much time for, well to be honest I suck at video games. Just can’t get the feel for it as the smell of gasoline & burning rubber excite my sences far too much, & sitting in my living room causes my sences to numb & I sleep the sleep of a warrior at peace. That being said I ‘ve seen a little of the hype/controversy over the new version of GTA and I hear there is a PC version in the works complete with book club, sign me up

I’ve crashed a few times & hitting other cars doesn’t hurt that much. Hitting the wall does make one stop abruptly & thats when you realize that you have internal organs. The outside of your body stops before the innards do. Also can’t set the car for no damage so the work starts again when the races ends. Here is one lucky guy.

Russia? meet monty python/tim conway with a little candy in the last two mins. Hitman is this funny
… or even really Russian?
I TOLD YA …SHE’S MARRIED
!
To Whom???
that was mmmmm so hot tht russian talks and ur blonde uuummmm russian ladies rock my world now i understand why ur GODs gift to this world lov and kisses my sweet teacher
I’M SORRY MAN, SHE’S MARRIED
sure?
DON’T YOU THINK THAT A BEAUTIFUL HOT SEXY WOMAN WITH 27 YEARS OLD ON HER SHOULDN’T BE SINGLE ???
Gio, maybe she is looking for the perfect head in a jar. (see: “I Dated a Robot” episode in season three of . ) Its a concept that if you could not afford having your body frozen to later bring back to life in the future you could just freeze your head at a much lower cost.
The head in a jar is my concept of the perfect partner for marriage. If two can live happily together as just two heads in a jar then the marriage could be a life long success. Thus eliminating “sexual intercourse” or “Looks” playing in the part of making a decision of living that person for the rest of your life. I developed this concept many years ago long before Futurama came out. I still have some bugs too work out of the idea before I put it out to market.

Dear fellow student
Interesting theory, but we should not ask ourselves this kind of question. This is a part of the deal. It would not be as interesting if we knew. I think all of us has already had a sexy teacher as teens. You surely dreamed of a romance (or something else) but it remained a pleasant remembrance because nothing happened.
So, the more important is to….. learn ENGLISH WORD ORIGIN!!!!!!!

Cap’n, you seen “The Man With Two Brains”?
Nice video, by the way, I’m fascinated for other languages, do you know another one? maybe you should try it! (I’m Brazilian, and I speak Portuguese as my maternal language)
Russian sound very close to German to my ears(I don’t know nothing about both)
GTA is a pretty good game, but in nowadays the violence culture dominate the children minds, so I think that people must separate game from reality.
byebye my dear teacher
I’m with him I THINK THERE ARE KIDS WHO DON’T REALIZE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAME AND THE REALLITY. SO WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE WITH THEM. EACH GAME HAS AN ADVICE BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH CAUSE CHILDRENS …WELL THEY DO MANY THINGS TO GET A VIDEO GAME….NOWADAYS. TAKE CARE FOR YOUR CHILDRENS WHEN THEY PLAY GTA 4
THIS GAME CONTAINS VIOLENCE, REAL SEX SITUATIONS AND USING DRUGS SOO, ITS FUN BUT FOR PEOPLE WITH THE CORRECT MIND AND AGE 
We have to be careful, because if we start censoring games, then we can use that same logic and say that movies teach kids to be violent and then we should perhaps go even further and censor books that show violence as books can teach kids to be violent as well.
I really don’t think the world is as bad a place as the media makes it out to be.. there are less deaths per 100,000 people then ever in history.. the world is actually a much safer place than it was hundreds of years ago.. it’s just that our PERCEPTION of the world, with the constant barrage of media ONLY covering tragedies and not good things, that makes people think the world is a bad place.
Just my 2 cents (wonder why it’s only 2 cents and not 3 cents… hmm.. must investigate
I agree wholeheartedly with Marina.
I’ll add that people have always tended to think that they were/are living in the worst of times. We always tend to look back fondly to the good old days, when children respected their parents, everyone was godly and true, and crime was nearly non-existent.
Such a time never existed. Violence was here long before there were violent video games and violent movies. As an anecdotal example, I’ll point to a documentary I saw last night about the Five Points Gangs in New York (which formed the basis of the DiCaprio movie “Gangs of New York”). Back in the 19th century - Victorian times - New York City was crazy violent - gangs were rampant, drugs, prostitution, gambling, extortion, bribery, vote fixing and election rigging, murder, racketeering….the whole ball of wax. All before video games.
What we need to keep in mind is that the people living back then thought THEY were living in the worst of times, and that in generations past, children were good and kind, and respected their elders, and went to church on Sunday (or temple on Saturday, or mosque on Friday, whatever).
When I was a kid, it was violent cartoons and movies that were going to make the kids violent. They got rid of bugs bunny shooting Elmer Fudd in the face with a rifle, and Wile E Coyote falling the bottom of a canyon - cartoons I watched every Saturday. They got rid of toy cap guns, and “army men.”
Well, Marina, I hope you don’t mind that I decided to “ante up” my “two cents.” After all, my two cents might not be worth a “plug nickel” — well, maybe less than a plug nickel but more more than a “pretty penny.” In any case, it’s a “nickel’s worth of free advice.” I hope I don’t seem as “phony as a three dollar bill” but you can “bet your bottom dollar” that opinions are “a dime a dozen” on this issue.
Gio, Children are exposed to just about the same amount of violence, crimes, etc as they where 50-60 years ago, maybe even hundreds of years ago. Think of the old wild west days. I have found some of my old favorite movies that where rated PG then and today they would be rated PG 13 or R. We as a society try to censor more of what our children are exposed to based on our beliefs. What the result of this is pussyifcation of our society.
I don’t think its censorship we need to be worried about but more like desensitizing our people. The desensitized person is the perfect soldier. The perfect soldiers is the perfect subsidiary of the Military-Industrial complex.
Marina, what is your references for the death rate per 100k in history? The world safer as in what? Violent crimes? Wars? Auto accidents?
Student body, Something everyone should be aware of is that the retail marketing system is all about brainwashing you into thinking you need this and that. Remembering the car commercial, ‘You will look good in the new infinity five.’ Its all about selling you something that you don’t need but making you think that your life will be much better if you buy this widget. In my 22 years of sales, I can not only convince Eskimos to buy ice but also sell the ice maker with bottled water refill kits. I even think I can sell bottled air to people that live in LA. I did play a bit of GTA one or two. I don’t remember which version. I didn’t find anything that attracted me into playing it more or even purchasing the game even then. Yea sure the graphics are better, I can add better computer generated graphics to a bad movie and it would do well in the market. People are attracted to bling. Plain and simple. Even rats like bling. I had a rat that when let out of his cage he would steal shiny objects and hide them under my bed. I don’t know why this is and I should research this someday. I wonder if this has a connection with the so called “Rat Race”?
Oh thats my 2 bits worth.
When I was a kid, it was violent cartoons and movies that were going to make the kids violent. They got rid of bugs bunny shooting Elmer Fudd in the face with a rifle, and Wile E Coyote falling the bottom of a canyon - cartoons I watched every Saturday. They got rid of toy cap guns, and “army men.”
prospero, Yes I remember that day when they decided to do that. It was a big controversy. I remember my mom taking away all our cap guns and army men. Cartoons where kind of violent back then. But Cartoons where originally for adults. I didn’t understand them until I was older.
Oh I forgot to give you a wooden nickel. I do have one around here somewhere.
Really, honest, picked it up at the center for wooden boat in south lake union. 
en mi caso tampoco, cuando yo era un niño veia mucha mas violencia que ahora y aun asi nunca cambio mi percepcion del mundo ni mis actitudes, es cierto depende de cada persona
Marina gets it. She may have read my stuff
Gio - you have amazing energy! Gadzooks!
I watched the Molotov lesson twice,
before I even noticed there were subtitles!
Speaking of games, and Russia, and “mucha mas violencia”;
Where exactly does the “game” Russian Roulette come from?
In australia they censored the sex stuff out to allow the games to be imported under a MA15+ rating.
I doubt anyone will read these studies, but I have. The science is solid. Violent media contributes to violent children. I have collected other research as well, based on anthropology, neurology, sociology, psychology to cover all the approaches, variables and levels of analysis. I also have lots of anecdotal material from friends in social work, pediatrics and family counseling. Media violence harms children.
Everyone familiar with me should know or expect that my opinions regarding censorship, language, etc… are very liberal as my posts frequently convey. But this game, which I have played, as well as many other games and mediums with similar content are not healthy for children.
You can argue with me all you want but I’ll scientifically beat the shit out of you.

buttwipebuzzword. What grade are you in?Dear Marina, I’ve heard a couple different ideas about the origin of “God Bless You” or “Gesundheit.” Some people say your heart skips a beat or stops for a split second when you sneeze. I was wondering if that would be an interesting topic to investigate. I’ve seen all your videos by the way, they are amazing. keep doin what you do best.
Hey Marina,
please discuss the origin of “rock bottom”…or if you would rather discuss frustration…you know coming from the video where you are frustrated with those molotov cocktails…
i hope you pick my request(s) this time.
thank you,

HAVE YOU REALIZE THAT THIS VIDEO IS THE MOST COMMENTED IN YOUR LIFE UNTIL TODAY ??? IN THE HISTORY OF HOTFORWORDS, WE HAVE THE MOST COMMENTED VIDEO !!! WOAW MARINA, YOU REALLY DID IT
ONLY A CELEBRITY LIKE YOU CAN DO THAT, AMAZING MY DEAR PROFESORA MMMUUUUUUAAAA (KISS)
Marina, I left you a comment for this video on Youtube comments pages, I hope you read it. This is for another word request.
Word Request: “acquiesce”
Shall I acquiesce till another time of your choosing?
See i used it in a sentence. I Hope correctly…………..I see you have a hard time the w sound, beautiful recovery through. Gee it just started raining here gotta go have work tommorow.
bye

though I should say
General Teacher : Marina,
This is a formal Request for withdrawal of the above mentioned word request;…”acquiesce”………….Reason Stated: Clearly this post has been misconstrued!
New Words Request: withdrawal
…………………………..: misconstrued
…………………………..: Greatest
…………………………… Apologizes
Marina, That was amazing, what a beautiful language. I wouldn’t have understood most of what you said without the subtitles. But you already knew that:) Just russian tank and cocktail molotov. I haven’t got this game, so i can’t help you with the gameplay. You look great as always.
Bye

i want to ask for the word
FOOLSCAP paper and TELE from teletubbies and television
Marina, I love the B&W photo of you in that black and white striped top. But the YouTube video color photo that originates from the teacher’s pet segment is NOT flattering at all. Could you please use the B&W photo here, too?
It was cool! The entire video in Russian language. Anyway, GTA is a kick-ass game on PS2. I still love playing retro games like DKC series, Paper Mario games, Legend of Zelda, etc. I can’t count new games out. Super Mario Galaxy is an awesome game for the Wii. Same for SMK foe the Wii.
HI THERE, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, YOU’RE AMAZING,, WELL SO, I WANT TO KNOW THE ORIGIN THE WORD
RAVE
RAVE
I HOPE YOU CAN, I GUESS YOU CAN
Just curious, Marina. Have you ever seen Fox Animation’s “Anastasia?” It has fun characters and catchy music. I’ve seen it more times than I’m willing to admit. Don’t look for any historical accuracy, though!!!
Hey Marina,
I have a word request. I would like to know the origin of the word Diet. I was wondering how it came to mean both a prescribed selection of foods as well as a legislative assembly.
Thanks so much! ^_^
This video is the first one I’ve ever seen, and I loved it!!! Back in high school I traded yard work for Russian lessons from a little old lady from Poland that had been a U.N. translator after escaping from Poland. That was quite a few years ago. When I went into the Army, they loved that I had this training and wanted me to go to California to continue my studies. I declined as the other part of this deal was that I would have a chance to visit foreign countries for nefarious reasons. Listening to you was enjoyable.
I chose my screen name because it is my last name and because of its translated meaning. My father is of Czech descent, I speak a little of both.
As far as playing GTA, I’ve never played, so I do not know how much control you have regarding throwing. I do know how to make one, such as tying the rag to the bottle to ensure it wont spill much when you throw it. Learned that in a book by Abbie Hoffman written in the late 60’s early 70’s called “steal this book”. He couldn’t find a publisher, so he published it himself.
Hi Marina,
I was wondering if you could explain the word “Prom” to us. I’m interested to know where such a memorable event in life is known by a four letter word that no one really ACTUALLY knows the origin of lol.
Thanks

i was wondering if your next word would be the following:
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
Oh yeah..well now try saying it with a mouthful of peanuts
saltine crackers
Hi, I was wondering if you would do one on the word behave.
Depending on the speaker, behave might actually be mistaken for bee hive.
being that I drive a -REAL- 200mph Ferrari 550 (WYO550 on YouTube) I’d take every one of the stupid “Grand Theft Auto” F_____ video games and throw a Molotov cocktail onto them all!
And then I’d dance around the May Pole like a Polish revolutionary who hates Soviet Putin-style oppression
Ochen Spacebaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Devochka!
“Djon”
Dude! Need for Speed 2 has been a great game for me!
I trashed millions of dollars worth of simulated cars before
finally becoming good enough to beat the dang thang
and I enjoyed every bit of it.
I was the Corner Marshal at turn 4 of the road course for
the F1 Ferrari Challenge held recently at Homestead, FL
Haven’t seen your vid, yet. That’s my next stop
It’s funny how non-Cyrillicists spell «спасибо» as “spaceba”. Almost like “spacebar” but without the “r”.
Oh wow, that’s SO funny…almost!
“Funny” here meaning “strange” and “quaint”.
spacebar - r = spaceba
Duh!
(DRRRRRRRRING!)
Was that the bell?
Yawn… I’m gonna hit the hay…
Спокойной ночи!
New request; doppelgangers. hope it is fun one.
