RUSSIAN IDIOMSBy Natalia Sachkova

Russia, Moscow

LIKE THROWING PEAS AGAINST THE WALL

To say something (usually being irritated) to which

not the slightest attention is paid

TO MAKE A NOTCH ON ONE’S NOSE

To remember something

forever

TO STRAY IN THREE PINETREES

To be confused in the simplest questions

TO RIDE AS A HARE

To travel without paying for a ticket

FOR THE HENS TO LAUGH AT

It is absolutely ridiculous, funny, silly

MUCH WATER HAS FLOWN AWAY

It was long ago. Much has happened since that

time

TO HANG NOODLES TO THE EARS

To deceive
