RUSSIAN LESSON

That backward R is not an R at all. It is a YA. The Russian R looks like a P.
Anyway, say AYRTON SENNA. Now say AYRTON without the N. Scottish people don't roll your R. You have said the Russian word eto and that means "This is".
Say nothing. Just for a moment. That’s how Russians say "the".
So eto nothing means "This is the".
When I say nothing I really mean nothing at all, not even a short pause.
So eto means "This is the".
The Russian word for "a" and "an" is also nothing.
So eto means "This is the" or "This is a".
Oh and when they write eto they put the E backwards.
We'd better make a complete sentence. Say moy brat. You can't go wrong with that, except to say that you should all roll the R slightly.
eto moy brat means "this is my brother". brat means "brother" with nothing derogatory about it.
That’s enough for today.
