    Уста = губы. Немного устаревшее слово, но по-прежнему употребляется. Всегда во множественном лице. Правильно "...с одних уст" (родительный падеж) Но само предложение "Спрашиваю, чтоб наши слова выходили с одного уста" построено неправильно.

    1) Мы ехали в зоопарк вчера. (Describing the process of going to the zoo. But the sentence is incomplete. Actually it requires some extra information. For example: Мы ехали в зоопарк вчера, когда пошёл дождь/когда ты позвонила. -- We were going to the zoo yesterday, when it started raining/when you called.) No matter if they arrived there at last or not. 2) Мы поехали в зоопарк вчера. (We went to the zoo yesterday.) But you can't be sure they arrived at the zoo or not. Maybe it was closed yesterday. They just went to it. 3) Мы ездили в зоопарк вчера. (It's more like: We were at the zoo yesterday but not completely the same) Now it is more probable they finally get to the zoo. But still there can be reasons for not entering it. To be sure they were at the zoo, you should say: Мы были в зоопарке вчера. 4) Мы поездили в зоопарк вчера (Incorrect). To indicate they were going back and forth -- Мы несколько раз ездили в зоопарк вчера (We went to the zoo several times yesterday). You can use form "поездить" in the sense of travelling for a long time: Поездить по стране, по свету -- travel through the country, been around the world.

    Both sentences are correct, but different meanings there are. 1) Меня зовут Андрей. (It's my real name). 2) Все зовут меня Андреем. или Все называют меня Андреем. (Though my real name is Andrew, not Andrey).

    Birra filosofica Tratto dal racconto di Ipollito Nievo "Gli ultimi amanti delle illusioni" (1860). https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Gli_ultimi_amanti_delle_illusioni 1) "Se la Francia può personificarsi in un libro, la Russia nello knout, la Germania in una bottiglia di birra filosofica..." Birra filosofica -- è una locuzione idiomatica? Oppure semplicemente vuol dire che birra è la bevanda piu' adatta per bere e riflettere, filosofare. 2) "Scusate il vocabolo, ma lo spirito di John Flan era perfettamente cotonizzato. Egli non poteva piú pensare, ma toccava e palpava anch’esso come fanno le mani in Europa" esso = lui oppure = lo spirito? ...come fanno le mani in Europa... cosa toccano e palpano le mani? cosa c'entra l'Europa? 3) "Il mondo dà ogni dove nel positivo; e perfino i miei dannati s’innamorano della regola del tre" s'innamorano della regola del tre = s'innamorano per interesse, per ragioni di convenienza?

    Meanings of "dig" and "model" in context What are the meanings of the words " to dig" (to enjoy?) and "models" (race car models or fashion models?) in the Housemartins' song "The light is always green"? We dig our models with the brains the size of models And cars that we can trust with our wives And we dig conversation with girls from every nation But not the ones that whisper or tell lies Is there meant to be a comma between "brains" and "the size" in the first line?

    Premature winter Ice cracks under the boot, thin slice. Awkwardly placed slips foot, leg slides. Withered leaves mingle with wet mud. Rimy snout, shivers with freeze gaunt mutt. Fingers in pockets endeavour to warm, tips numb. Whirling snowflakes form a swarm pale, glum. Clenched teeth against the wind, tense mouth. Harshly winter rushed in between tenth month. *written two years ago

    Il bosco misto Ti ho visto da lontano tra la betulla e l'ontano. T'appoggiavi al tronco di tiglio inarcando il sopracciglio. Circondata dai pini e larici sgranocchiavi un filo di carice. Raccoglievi le foglie di acero. Come si fa tu a non piacere?! Nascondiam pur all'ombra dei pioppi. Ah! io e tu siamo bella coppia. *piacere -- qui e' la parola sdrucciola per essere rimata con la riga precedente
