Bölüm 2: Boya Küpüne Düşen Çakal

Здравствуйте. Это пятый эпизод подкаста «Глубинный народ,» взгляд на культуру России из провинции.

Прошлой зимой я сфотографировал вывеску магазина продуктов «Баско» в Чайковском. Меня привлекло название этой сети магазинов с головным офисом в Ижевске, столице Удмуртии. Посмотрите ссылку на фотографию. Есть ещё «Баско Пати», сеть магазинов секонд-хенд с головным офисом в Екатеринбурге.

Наречие «бáско» означает «красиво» или «хорошо». Прилагательное будет «баскóй» или «бáский».

Я провёл детство на Южном Урале и не слышал такое слово, пока не приехал в Пермскую область.

Русский язык образованных людей звучит почти одинаково на необъятных просторах огромной страны. Однако существуют региональные слова, такие как «баско». Это не стандартный русский язык.

Яндекс нам подсказывает, что это слово употребляется в речи жителей Пермского края, Архангельской, Вологодской, Кировской и Свердловской областей.

Интересно, что в польском языке слово «boski» означает «божественный».

Have you ever hurt your neck while watching TV and wondered if it's been mounted too high? Well, you're not the only one. In fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people who discuss the subject on Reddit every day.

From breaking news to fandoms, and from memes to life's biggest questions, Reddit is a website that encourages people to discuss any subject that interests them.

The platform has over 100,000 communities, or "subreddits," that are created by users. And a subreddit about TV placement is in the top 1% of popular communities.

The community known as "TV Too High" is among the website's largest, with over 200,000 members. Here, photos of TVs in homes, hotels and other spaces are posted and often met with hundreds of comments discussing whether or not the TV has been placed at a good height.

One photo posted to the community in September 2024 showed a TV mounted above a door, with one user commenting, "Spiders on the ceiling fan have a great view."

Another photo showing a TV mounted above a staircase received over 500 comments, with one user saying, "This might be the worst one I've ever seen."

But is there a perfect height for a TV?

One user posted a guide based on advice from the subreddit. It included things like: "If when standing the TV is at eye level, IT IS TOO HIGH," and, "If the TV is angled down, IT IS TOO HIGH."

Another user posted a photo of a guide from a TV manufacturer. It said the best height for a TV when viewing while sitting down is 107 centimeters from the center of the TV screen to the floor — although some users said this was still too high!

TRANSCRIPTION (explanation included)
These expressions of apology encompass a range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, one might simply say "sorry" or "my bad" to acknowledge a mistake. When the apology is sincere, phrases like "I sincerely apologize" and "I'm truly sorry" convey the depth of regret. In informal settings, a more casual approach may be taken with expressions like "I messed up" or "oops, I'm sorry," adding a touch of camaraderie. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may involve phrases like "I offer my most sincere apologies" or "please accept my formal apology," while emphasizing the depth of regret. Politeness tempers the apology in expressions such as "I'm so sorry" and "please forgive me," demonstrating a genuine desire for reconciliation. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the apology, as seen in expressions like "I'm on the apology tour" or "I'm in hot water." In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their regret with statements like "I must express my profound regret" or "please accept my sincerest apologies," maintaining an air of warmth. For royalty, an apology is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "I extend my most heartfelt apologies" or "please accept my deepest regrets," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
