Zdraviya Zhelayu!

Zdravia Zhelayu!

Say again...

Yes, it's not easy to spell and so not easy at all to understand. If you are not Russian of course.

I say literally: "Be healthy!" - the usual Russian greeting. In fact, it is not very usual as normally we say "Zdravstvuite!", what means absolutely the same. However I personally prefer to use "zdravia zhelayu" what sometime scares some people as it is a typical Russian.... military greeting.

This is my kind of protest to the sad "Devaluation of the Ever Greatest Words". It's sad that many important words loose their original meaning and importance and simply jump through in line with other meaningless companions. "Zdravstvuite", "Good Day" - we say so brilliant words but they do not wake our attention becoming a kind of unavoidable duty. Our disparaging goes as far that we even do not enforce ourselves to say Great Words completely and errogantly murmur: "Zdras'te", "G-day" or "Hi".

So sad all what've been said that I protest and greet you with Cheerful & Vivacious:
"Zdravia Zhelayu!"


Ok, now relax! This blog is not about semanthics.
