Let’s look at some of them in context!

• Смотри, какая у девушки длинная коса!
• Look how long the girl's braid is!

• Будешь сушку?
• Would you like a bagel?

• Главное - жить в мире и согласии с самим собой.
• The main thing is to live in peace and harmony with yourself.

• Дай мне, пожалуйста, чистый лист бумаги.
• Give me a blank sheet of paper, please.

• Ключ от квартиры будет лежать под ковриком.
• The key to the apartment will be under the rug.
