Hi!

I guess I'm on the edge of getting banned from this community on grounds of the no foul language rule. But I am not interested in foul language, really, I just need to understand what people say and sing!!!

There are two things in this song that I dont understand.

1. Что они в карманах носили?

2. Is he singing "Прошу не залупаться"? What does залупаться mean? Has it got anything to do with залупа, is it an obscen way of saying beeing an idiot?

Hi actually, there two more things I cant hear in the song...

1. What is he singing after: "Мы были мачики"? (And by the way мачики; I just assumed it was a colloquial form of the word macho (as in macho man), but maybe I assume wrong?)

2. And there is a word in this sentence too: "Но тут среди березок да ...-на, куда милей, кого ты не спроси-на."

(I promise I will post something about Dostoevsky or Turgenev soon. It's just that I never talk to them, but I do occasionally have conversations with мальчиками в удобных тренировочных штанах, кому жилосЯ очень нелегко, ля)

 Hey there!  If I want to use the phrase Как попасть ...  what preposition (if any) and what case is the word that follows?

Hey all,

This is a real random and probably a stupid question...lol but  I already know the words троллейбус and трамвай; however, what is the difference?  

In my city we use the words interchangeably...no difference in the type of vehicle we are talking about.  I know that in Russia there is a difference, and I am reading an article about Moscow city planning that keeps mentioning both separately.  Any words of wisdom for me? lol

My thanks to all of you in this community who always help me out!

What is the difference (if any) between преподавать and (на)учить? Do the words have separate functions? And more specifically do they function the same grammatically? I know when using научить the person taught is in the accusative case, and the action being taught is either an infinite verb or noun in dative case, is this also the case for преподавать?
