Twentieth lesson

УРОК НОМЕР ДВАДЦАТЬ (№20)

Lesson number twenty (#20)

Что это вы гуляете без пальто!

AK : You can use Что это [что-эта] instead of only что
to make a stress on the whole fact of "walking around without an overcoat".

Неужели (1) вам не холодно?

AK : the meaning is "Really, isn't it cold to/for you?"

AK : шуба is a fur coat

One must protect-oneself [to defend oneself (is) necessary] in-time,

AK : meaning is "but you should protect-yourself when it's needed".

AK: meaning is "very soon, there'll be a first snow".
не сегодня - завтра is an idiom meaning "very soon".
будет is "will be"

splendid; old (masculine, feminine, neuter)

Песня

A song

Кипучая, могучая

AK: кипучая ~ boiling

AK: This means "defeatable by nobody".

Because we have double negation here (typical Russian negation),
непобедимая must be written in to words (не победимая), as we have it in the original book.
But, for all other purposes, there's no such word in Russian as "победимая", only "непобедимая".

AK : Ты самая любимая means "You are the most beloved".

AK-NOTES

Неужели formed with не, not, уже, already, and the interrogative particle ли,
means literally : (Is it) not already?, and marks surprise, astonishment.

Неужели = whether it is...?

They are to be put over валенки - felt boots, to protect them from water.

The order of words is, still, important.
You must use standard/common words order, because changing it will change emphasis,
and you must understand really well what you're saying, before you try to do this.

Pronounce the two щ (sh'tch) in защищаться, very indistinctly,
almost suppressing the t sound.

защищаться  = to protect oneself
There's no "t sound" in щ.
Romanized transcription in the original book is clearly misleading.
Always listen carefully to the recording.

— In вовремя, the о is added to в for euphony.
The principal stress is on во.

In the original book вовремя is written во время, but it's one word now.

Не правда ли? (Is it) not true [(the) truth]?

In the original book it's written Не правда-ли?

Снег, show, is masculine; so is мороз, frost;
whereas зима, winter, is feminine.
But these different genders are no difficulty,
since the final letter of words characterizes them,
as we shall repeat in the next lesson.

Близко: near (adverb);
близкий (masculine), близкая (feminine),
(short form : близка (feminine), близкое, near (adjective).

близка needs explanation.
I'll not theorize now what past of speech it might be,
but it's not just a "short form" of близкая (near or close, feminine).
близка means "in the state of being near".

Широка means "in the state of being wide or ample",
not just a short form of широкая (wide feminine).

Никто: nobody
— Никем: by nobody.
— Победа (pabbieda) : victory.
— Победить : to vanquish.

Победить кого-то is to defeat someone.

Tweested English Section

PRONUNCIATION. 
— You should now be sufficiently used to the Russian letters
to be able to do without the figured pronunciation.
Henceforth we shall only indicate it in special cases.

Go on reading over again, aloud, the preceding lessons, and listening to them if you have the records.
The first ones must be already familiar to you. In a short time, it will be the same with this one.
