Has anyone read this book? I'm trying to read it for my Russian class and ÚÞàÞçÕ ï ÝØäØÓÐ ÝÕ ßÞÝØÜÐî.  And yes, we're reading it in Russian.

If you've read it, can you give me a brief summary about it? I'd like to know what's going on.

Yazeed, give us an example of an "unusual" idiom so we know what you are talking about.

Funny thing is I've watched the movie and read the book - but at the state when I didn't understand it, so I still am not sure what it is about
 

[Yazeed]

Yazeed, give us an example of an "unusual" idiom so we know what you are talking about.

Off the top of my head:
"²áñ ÚàÞÜÕ ßâØçìÕÓÞ ÜÞÛÞÚÐ"
"²Þâ ÓÔÕ áÞÑÐÚÐ ×ÐàëâÐ"
"Á ÓàÕåÞÜ ßÞßÐÛÐÜ"
And, my favourite, "ÁÒÕâÐ ÝÕÒ×ÒØÔÕâì" (which is more of an expression than idiom.

I've got some more if you want..

[tearslake]

some of these are the usual idioms that can be found in the russian-enlgish dictionary. for instance, "²Þâ ÓÔÕ áÞÑÐÚÐ ×ÐàëâÐ" (it means something like: "this is the answer i was looking for") i found here:
http://www.translationdirectory.com/dictionaries/dictionary009_t.htm
this one is english-russian, but with some google skills it can be turned into russian-english =)

regarding the "bird's milk" i personally never heard before but as seen here http://kuking.net/10_536.htm this is how one would describe a really rich person: he has everything except for the bird's milk. i guess bird's milk is something that does not exist.

"Á ÓàÕåÞÜ ßÞßÐÛÐÜ" - one of the popular idioms, means that something was done, but with much effort and trouble. i guess here "ÓàÕå" is used in its older meaning. "ÓàÕå" here is not so much a "sin" as it is opposite of happiness (and i guess in the earlier days happiness was equivalent to spirituality)

"ÁÒÕâÐ ÝÕÒ×ÒØÔÕâì" - is also one of the popular sayings. i won't be brave enough to try this one. but i would guess that here "ÁÒÕâ" ("light") - is also used in the more spiritual sense, "light" - is happiness, love, etc.

in general, if these cause you the most trouble, just search for an idiom dictionary or ask us or browse the net. heh, maybe i should watch the movie too so i know what it is about =)
