\\nThank you for keeping up with this podcast even though I do not produce them as often as I\'d like to. I am excited to get e-mails and comments on the spoonfulofrussian.com site. Your enthusiasm is contageous! For those who asked about the condition of our house, we just sold our restored home and are planning on moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, right after our trip to Russia in August. I can hardly wait!

\\n\\u2022 \\u27512 Happy Birthday!
\\n
\\nIt\'s lesson 12 (\\u0434\\u0432\\u0435\\u043d\\u0430\\u0434\\u0446\\u0430\\u0442\\u044b\\u0439 \\u0443\\u0440\\u043e\\u043a). Tomorrow we\'ll be celebrating my youngest daughter\'s 6th birthday. I taught my daughters to say a few birthday greetings in Russian. Let me share them with you.
\\n
\\nSo, How do you say \'Happy Birthday\' in Russian?
\\n\\u042d\\u043c\\u0438\\u043b\\u0438: "I know." It\'s "\\u0421 \\u0414\\u043d\\u0435\\u043c \\u0420\\u043e\\u0436\\u0434\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u044f".
\\nThat\'s right, Emily. "\\u0421 \\u0414\\u043d\\u0435\\u043c \\u0420\\u043e\\u0436\\u0434\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u044f" means \'Happy Birthday\' . So, what are you going to say to your sister tomorrow?
\\n\\u042d\\u043c\\u0438\\u043b\\u0438: \'\\u0421 \\u0414\\u043d\\u0435\\u043c \\u0420\\u043e\\u0436\\u0434\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u044f, \\u0414\\u0436\\u0443\\u043b\\u0438\\u044f". To which Julia will probably reply "\\u0421\\u043f\\u0430\\u0441\\u0438\\u0431\\u043e, \\u0415\\u043c\\u0438\\u043b\\u0438".
\\n
\\nThen Russians usually wish health, happiness and longevity to the birthday person among other things. The phraze \'I wish you\' will be \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435...\' (informal, to be used addressing friends, family, children) or \' \\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0412\\u0430\\u043c\'... (formal, to be used addressing older people, people you are not very close to, or just to show respect). Can you say \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435...\' \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0412\\u0430\\u043c...\'?
\\n
\\nGood. Let us wish Julia health. \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0437\\u0434\\u043e\\u0440\\u043e\\u0432\\u044c\\u044f\'. Emily: \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0437\\u0434\\u043e\\u0440\\u043e\\u0432\\u044c\\u044f\'.
\\nNow, let\'s wish her happiness. \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0441\\u0447\\u0430\\u0441\\u0442\\u044c\\u044f\'. Emily: \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0441\\u0447\\u0430\\u0441\\u0442\\u044c\\u044f\'.
\\nLet\'s also wish her long life - \\u0434\\u043e\\u043b\\u0433\\u0438\\u0445 \\u043b\\u0435\\u0442 \\u0436\\u0438\\u0437\\u043d\\u0438. \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0434\\u043e\\u043b\\u0433\\u0438\\u0445 \\u043b\\u0435\\u0442 \\u0436\\u0438\\u0437\\u043d\\u0438.\' Emily: \'\\u042f \\u0436\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u044e \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u0435 \\u0434\\u043e\\u043b\\u0433\\u0438\\u0445 \\u043b\\u0435\\u0442 \\u0436\\u0438\\u0437\\u043d\\u0438.\'
\\n\\u041c\\u043e\\u043b\\u043e\\u0434\\u0435\\u0446, \\u042d\\u043c\\u0438. What would I do without you? (\'\\u0427\\u0442\\u043e \\u0431\\u044b \\u044f \\u0431\\u0435\\u0437 \\u0442\\u0435\\u0431\\u044f \\u0434\\u0435\\u043b\\u0430\\u043b\\u0430?\')
\\nEmily: \'\\u041f\\u043e\\u0436\\u0430\\u043b\\u0443\\u0439\\u0441\\u0442\\u0430, \\u043c\\u0430\\u043c\\u0430.\'
\\n
\\nAlright! Now you know what to say next time you are invited to a Russian birthday party. And if any of my listeners happen to celebrate their birthday today, we are saying \'\\u0421 \\u0414\\u043d\\u0435\\u043c \\u0420\\u043e\\u0436\\u0434\\u0435\\u043d\\u0438\\u044f\' to you!

\\n
\\nFor the musical part of today\'s podcast I chose a song from a Russian cartoon "Cheboorashka". The character that sings this song is happy on a very dreary day. It\'s his birthday! The people passing by cannot understand why he\'s so happy. The singer also regrets that birthdays only come once a year.
