👋Приветствую! Не забывайте про витамины весной! Травоядный 🆚️ Плотоядный 🔢 Травоядный [tra-va-yad-nyj] Herbivorous 🔢 Плотоядный [pla-ta-yad-nyj] Carnivorous Etymology: The suffix -ядный derives from the verb есть [yest'] (to eat). Therefore, these words literally mean grass-eating and flesh-eating: Трав(а) (grass)+ linking 'о' + ядный (eating) Плот(ь) (flesh) + linking 'о' + ядный (eating) 💢In colloquial Russian травоядный has one more, figurative or ironical meaning harmless, incapable of aggression: • Да, не бойся Василия. Это он снаружи такой грозный, а вдуше он травоядный. Yes, don't be afraid of Vasily. He may look intimidating on the outside, but inside he's a gentle soul. 📎 Please don't call your tough-looking husband/bf травоядный to avoid misunderstanding or arguments😅! 🎧🗣👇 #useful_vocabulary #adjectives #spoken_Russian 😎 Stay with @learnRCRussian
