In this episode, I'll tell you a funny short story about a friend. You will then understand what Brazilians mean by the expression "pregar uma peça"!

Sobre o dia em que minha amiga 'pregou uma peça' no pai dela. E você? Tem algum amigo que gosta de pregar peças ou é você quem costuma fazer isso? 🤔

Pregando uma peça!?

Здравствуйте. Это четвёртый эпизод подкаста "Глубинный народ", взгляд на культуру России из провинции.  

У школьных учителей в России есть такая шутка.

"Попробуйте ответить на вопрос. Как правильно сказать: у рыбов нет зубов, у рыбей нет зубей или у рыб нет зуб?"

В этой шутке мы видим три окончания формы родительного падежа множественного числа существительных:
-ов (-ев): столов, компьютеров, платьев;
-ей: морей, мышей, дочерей;
нулевое окончание: башен, вишен, туч.

Эта форма очень трудна, потому что закономерности выбора окончания хотя и существуют, но их очень много — и они непоследовательны.

В советской "Песне о Родине" есть такие строки:

"Широка страна моя родная, 
Много в ней лесов, полей и рек."

Во второй строке мы также видим те же окончания.

А как вы ответите на вопрос про рыб и про зубы?

Спасибо за внимание.
