Karu baari sildid Tallinnas.

Какой день 30-е ноября, помните? Kõigi maade karud ja karusõbrad, hurraa! Ma avan pudel eesti meeveini täna õhtul.


А Андрей был апостол. Оказывается, два первых — он и Петр. А не Давид и Голиаф, как думал герой … чьего романа, помните?

On this day in 1835 Samuel Langhorne Clemens was born, known as Mark Twain. A memorable quote:

Explanatory

In this book a number of dialects are used, to wit: the Missouri Negro dialect; the extremest form of the backwoods South-Western dialect; the ordinary ‘Pike County’ dialect; and four modified varieties of this last. The shadings have not been done in a hap-hazard fashion, or by guess-work; but painstakingly, and with the trustworthy guidance and support of personal familiarity with these several forms of speech.

I make this explanation for the reason that without it many readers would suppose that all these characters were trying to talk alike and not succeeding.

The author.


Veel kaks pildi Eestist:

Võru: ka sellised seminarid olevat maailmas (hm!).

Jõhvi: laualambid. Või tänavalaternad?
