184: Super Easy Podcast "Honey, I Shrunk The Words!" (talking about diminutives)

Hiya, friends! This time in slow Russian we're discussing the beauty and the horror of diminutives. It's just one step from love to hate. Or rather, one little step!

And in the big bonus, we talk about "dear-sies," translated American literature, echidnas and hyenas, "podukhi" and "krugi", and also "frogsies." Armed with little wrenches and little bits of cash Sveta curses up a storm and explains the cultural phenomenon of "little nails" (nail art). Nikita gets into an argument about radiators and batteries. And presiding over all of it sits a cat.
