Phrases from the metro in Moscow

(On the wall above the seats)
Место для инвалидов, лиц пожилого возраста, и людей с детьми. = Place for the sick, elderly persons, and people with children.

(On the doors)
Не прислоняться. = Do not lean.


(On the loud speaker)
Осторожно, двери закрываются. Следуюшая станция Х. = Be careful, the doors are closing. Next station is ....


**But this one I can't quite make out. Does anyone know exactly what they say here? I'm particularly stuck on the grammar of this part of the sentence "при выход из поезда":
Увижаемые пассежиры, при выход из поезда, не забывайте свои вещи. = Respected passengers,

"при выходе из поезда не забывайте свои вещи" == "when leaving the train, don't forget your baggage"

Respected passengers, don't forget your staff when leaving the train.

[oryx_and_crake]

It should be при выходЕ. Someone has scratched off part of the phrase.

Уважаемые пассажиры,

Место для инвалидов = Place for handicapped, not for sick.

Staff? You mean, long stout stick old people lean on (посох)? :) Or it's "stuff" :)

[archaicos.livejournal.com]

No, colleagues ;)

Here (http://voices.metro.ru/msk2.html) at the bottom of the page you can download some loud speaker announcements from Moscow metro.

There are also recorded announcements that were used during the Olympic Games in 1980 (the announcements were both in Russian and English). For example: http://voices.metro.ru/msk2-h5.wav

I guess you often can exchange при + prepositional case of the verbal noun AND gerund. In other words: при выходе = выходя, при рассмотрении = рассматривая, при прослушивании = прослушивая. Of course, if there's a noun to follow the verbal noun or gerund, its case should be altered accordingly:

при выходе из поезда = выходя из поезда: same genetive case for поезд because of the preposition из

при рассмотрении картины (genetive) = рассматривая картину (acusative)

при прослушивании музыки (genetive) = прослушивая музыку (acusative)

I mean "посох", sure...:)))

Dear passengers, don't forget your luggage, when leaving the train.

[just1user.livejournal.com]

This phrase was not written on a wall, but transcribed by poster from audio announcement.

[oryx_and_crake]

It's still при выходе, whether you believe me or not.

Место для инвалидов = Place for invalids
not for sick

[serge-sb.livejournal.com]

not "Место для инвалидов", but "места для инвалидов"

[rpocc.livejournal.com]

Something like following:
Make sure that you didn't leave your stuff exiting carriage
"При" here working exactly as "ing" ending on english verbs.
При выходе = выходя = exiting/leaving

[serialcondition.livejournal.com]

disabled/handicapped
not invalids

[just1user.livejournal.com]

I didn't argue about correct version. I just said it can't be scratched off.

[aska96.livejournal.com]

Уважаемые пассажиры is right. not пассежиры :)

[alon_68]

Of course, and "пассажиры" too
Simply reading the well-known text without too much attention :)

[spiritrc.livejournal.com]

It says (the full version, if I remember it right): "Уважаемые пассажиры! При выходе из поезда не забывайте свои вещи! При обнаружении бесхозных вещей на станции или в вагоне поезда, сообщайте об этом машинисту или дежурному по станции."

Which means: "Dear passengers! When leaving the train, make sure you don't leave your luggage inside! If you discover ownerless luggage in a train or on a station, inform the driver or the assistant station-master".
