Loose cannon 💣- what do you call it in Russian? 🔻English has loose cannon - someone unpredictable, uncontrollable, and potentially dangerous. 🔻Russian has a couple of vivid equivalents: 👍Сорваться с цепи (perf.) [sar-va-tsya s tsypi] SLT: to break free from the chain The image is clear: a dog (or something wilder) suddenly unchained. Unpredictable. Unstoppable. 👍Обезьяна с гранатой (femin.noun) [a-biz'-ya-na s gra-na-tay] SLT: a monkey with a grenade You know something explosive is about to happen. You just don't know when. Or where. Neither does the monkey. 🔻Both capture the same idea: you never know what comes next, but you know it won't end well. 🖼 Not that we're driving at someone, but you know the name to illustrate today's post. 😉 #proverbs #spoken_Russian #phraseology 🟠RCR | Support | Boost

Скромнее надо быть. You need to be more modest. • Скромный (masc.adj.) [skrom-nyj] = • Скромная (femin.adj.) [skrom-na-ya] = • Скромные (plural adj.) [skrom-ny-ye] Modest, humble • СкромнEE (comparative from скромный) [skrom-ne-ye] More modest/humble Synonym: • Поскромней (colloquial variant) [pa-skram-ney] More modest 🔻While the value of modesty exists in many cultures, the directness of Скромнее надо быть is very characteristic of Russian communication style – straightforward and not sugar-coated. 💢Also a Russian proverb: • Скромность украшает человека. [skrom-nast' oo-kra-sha-yet chi-la-ve-ka] SLT: Modesty adorns a person. Modesty becomes a man. 🎧🗣👇 #Russian_culture #RussianNationalCode #proverbs #useful_vocabulary #spoken_Russian 😎RCR | Support | Boost
