Жители Камчатки прокапывают тоннели до входа в свои дома. Residents of Kamchatka dig tunnels to the entrances of their homes. Let's dig into the Russian verb копать! 1.ПРОкопать (perf.) [pra-ka-pat'] To dig through (like a tunnel), or to spend a certain amount of time digging • Они прокопали длинный тоннель. They dug up a long tunnel. 2.ВЫкопать (perf.) [vy-ka-pat'] To dig out / up, to extract something from the ground • Он выкопал глубокую яму. He dug up a deep hole. 💢 But this slang verb has an entirely different meaning: • Копать под кого-то (imperf.) [ka-pat' pat ka-vo-ta] To dig for dirt on someone, to scheme against, to undermine • Он явно копает под директора. He’s clearly trying to undermine the boss. 😉If this weather in Russia lasts a little longer, you'll have time to learn all the prefixes with the verb 'копать'! 🔻Preffix + копать Part-1 Video: rt_russian #verbs #useful_vocabulary 🟠RCR | Support | Boost
