Russian women are feisty and moody. If there’s anyone they’ll tell you this, it’s them and then the tarelki (plates) and skovorodki (frying pans) will start flying at you. Well, while you’re dodging those deadly airborne kitchen utensils, you can say it back too.

izvinite, mozhno s vami poznakomitsya?
