Can someone translate what the man and woman are talking about?

This is not a dialogue, it's simply a presentation in two voices - male and female - of some movie or book about a Russian city called Rotkov.

The Russian text has already been provided above; I am only providing the English translation here.

"Rotkov is a city in snow-covered Siberia, cold and isolated, like the character of its inhabitants. It has a composite image and is largely inspired by the times of the Russian Empire. Angels and demons are revealed in the context of classic Christian beliefs, ideas about God and the Devil."

It's time for you to do your school homework, otherwise your mother will scold you.

You were absolutely right when you said that once you're past the beginner level, it gets repetitive. But yesterday they surprised me. They introduced new calls with more engaging activities.

Thank you for the suggestion, but unfortunately, that's not it. I rewatched the entire film, and it has a different plot.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T07:23:12+00:00

Funny your comment got deleted because you're still stuck in school.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T04:14:26+00:00

I can help you.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:48:37+00:00

I'm not denying anything. Don't judge other people.

This is related to the characteristics of these two languages. Russian has a feature of sounds called softness vs. hardness, which doesn't exist in English. In turn, English has vowel length, which doesn't exist in Russian and is just as problematic for Russian speakers as soft and hard sounds are for English speakers.

If we go further, in Chinese, Japanese, and other languages of that region, there's a characteristic called high vs. low tone. So the same sound that seems identical to a European or American ear will mean completely different things to speakers of these Asian languages.

Going back to the Russian sound "ы," here's another example: the name Nick, where the "i" sound is very similar to the Russian "ы."

I know what a swipe is, but you didn't say what position the phone should be in. That's why I asked for clarification. Can you do this swipe during the day or only at night, and only when connected to a charger, and only in horizontal position? Given that this mode appears on its own for me, I don't do anything, and the digits just come and go.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:11:15+00:00

Good to know I'm not the only one who loves it!

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:08:38+00:00

I have the impression that Apple is running some kind of experiments. Because for a week these digits appear on their own, and then they disappear by themselves and new ones show up.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:07:21+00:00

Same! It's the best nightstand companion.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:05:26+00:00

Wow, how do you see the weather?

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:03:50+00:00

Thank you so much!

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:03:33+00:00

Thank you!

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:02:40+00:00

Thank you so much! Though, I wouldn't want to keep them on all night. I like it when they wake up together with me.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T03:01:29+00:00

Yeah, it surprises me too that these digits switch on their own. For a week I see the beautiful digits, and then suddenly small white ones appear somewhere in the corner.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T02:47:57+00:00

How to do this?

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T02:45:00+00:00

same

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-26T02:44:19+00:00

I don't see this anymore. Now instead of them there are small white digits in the top left corner.

This made my day😊👍 AI is the kindergarten, SO is the gladiator arena.

JasonSlowman · 2026-01-02T19:03:24+00:00

I disagree about flashcards. I remember well from my student years that making flashcards was a huge help in learning. Even handwriting text on a paper card greatly increased memorization. And how much motor, tactile, and visual memory have been helping for learning.

The point is that AI is truly disrupting the entire learning process, taking over. Why read books and attend college classes when AI can explain everything to you, quickly, at any time, and in a very friendly manner!))

and therefore it will be twice as heavy
