Hello everyone.
Today we will continue speaking in simple Russian.
Do you like watching TV series?
Do you watch movies?
Do you like cinema?
Maybe you watch cartoons, animated series or anime?
Anime is Japanese cartoons or animated series.
In front of me there is a Wednesday doll.
In Russian, her name means Wednesday.
But in Russian, we don’t say "среда" about her. Even in Russian, we call her "Вэнсдэй".
Or "Уэнсдэй".
When it comes to the letter W, there are different spelling variations in Russian.
For example, in the books about Sherlock Holmes, it is written Ватсон.
But when we talk about the actress Emma Watson, the usual spelling and pronunciation is Уотсон.
I think this is due to the fact that the Russian language is not very similar to English, if you compare their phonetics.
This doll was made by the brand Mattel.
Their most famous doll is Barbie.
In Russian, we also say Barbie.
As far as I know, the second season of Wednesday will be released in August.
Have you watched the first season? Did you like it?
Let me know in the comments.
I think this doll is a great Halloween gift.
Or a gift for someone who watches the Addams family.
This doll can be described as having a gothic aesthetic, and her nails are painted black.
Her lips are also painted with black lipstick.
I say lipstick because it's not real lipstick.
It's paint. But if we were talking about a person, it would probably be lipstick.
She also has black hair and dark eyes (brown eyes).
And she has highlights painted on her eyes.
Highlights in the form of skulls.
They're very small, so they're hard to notice, hard to see.
Черепушка is a diminutive of the word skull. If something is small or cute,
we can use a diminutive form. In Russian, we do this all the time.
For example, this is a ложка, and this is a small spoon or a ложечка. This is also a ложечка, not so much
because of the size, but because it is cute, in the shape of a flower. The doll's face is made in such a way
that it imitates gothic style makeup. This part of the hairstyle ("bangs) is called "чёлка". In German,
this word is Pony, but in Russian, a "pony" (пони) is a small horse. Funny, isn't it? In one old
Soviet cartoon, there is even a song in which a pony has long bangs made of delicate silk. This
part of the hairstyle is called a braid or a pigtail. And this part of the hairstyle is a tail or a ponytail.
It is very interesting that you can learn so many words about hair just by looking at one doll.
If we pay attention to her ears, she has earrings in her ears. By the way, there are also small
skulls on the earrings. If we continue talking about makeup, we can say that the doll has arrows drawn on her face.
The doll is wearing an elegant dress, beautiful, not for every day. We can say
that it is a ball gown. A ball gown is a dressy dress, a dress for going to a ball,
an evening dress, a floor-length dress if we are talking about the length.
Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.
