Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthReplied to FluffnstuffYeah, that's why I was complaining about all of this. I wouldn't tho if the author would have chosen the more cold and snowy Russian regions which actually do have crazy cold temperatures below 40 and snow from October till the May
Also, due to climate reasons, Moscow experiences snow for seven or eight months out of the year.- Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthReplied to Fluffnstuff
Well, google is right here about the temperature. It's clearly saying that very cold temps are uncommon here and it's basically rare cases when the temp goes below 20-25. As for the winter duration, yes, it happened before that the winter have started early in October and ended in April, but it is also out of the ordinary case. We even have a song about 3 main winter months - December, January and February. Everything that goes beyond of these three is unusual.

Welp it's pretty rare to have snow here in October. It usually starts snowing heavily in the very end of November / the beginning of December. It's winter -ish cold and snowy till the second part of March. Then the temperature goes higher and the spring comes sort of early and hard - usually it lasts around two weeks and when it's April everything is blooming already. Of course I'm talking about most of the cases. And of course there will be some exceptional and extraordinary times which may happen as I wrote earlier once in the decade/century or so. Like couple of years ago we had completely snowless yet warm winter, and it's also rare. As for the current temperature, right now at this very moment while I'm typing it we have 1°C and it's actually raining :D and it's the end of frkn December - when (according to this author) we all should be freezing here lol

Not in the slightest. There are parts of Russia with such weather: Siberia, Arctic.. But it's def not Moscow. I mean, it might happen but it's NOT usual for Moscow to have such a long winter. It's more like it might happen once in the decade or even once in the century or smth like that. And the author says it like it happen every now and than. Which is wrong. How do I know that? I live here! I wouldn't complain if I didn't know it firsthand

It is also may mean "sister" if two are close enough. Like in Korean they'd call each other "oppa" and "noona". And since Liu calling WangYe as Brother Ye, they are that close (not romantically tho). So the correct translation for his friend would be "Sister Liu". And yes she is a female apparently. Unless the author wanted to bring some lgbtq content. Which is okay, but doubtful considering that this is a Chinese novel we're talking about
After they graduated, Wang Ye returned to China, while Liu Xiaojie stayed to further his career in Russia. - Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthCommented
That's accurate. Same goes for Russians learning Chinese
If Chinese foreign students continue to live and study with other Chinese students upon their arrival here, their language proficiency would indeed improve slower as they would mostly communicate in Mandarin, limiting their opportunities to practice Russian. - Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthCommented
That's actually may be accurate since the central heating system is old enough and haven't been fully renovated for quite a time... But even so, the inside temperature won't go above 30 degrees. That's just another gibberish
Wang Ye also knew that in the rooms, the temperature would rise even higher, sometimes up to around thirty degrees, making it impossible to cover yourself with anything during the night... - Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthCommented
Are you kidding me
And that's not all, sometimes in May, June, or even July, there would sporadically be some snowflakes! - Belial_Sad_Hatter4mthCommented
Now it's even 8 months of winter now?! Really?? What a heck! Moscow is NOT located in the Arctic, for fudge sake! Facepalm!

Erm... Xiaojie usually means "a girl" or more like "a young lady" in Chinese. So why protagonist's male friend (author or translators used he/his pronouns for this friend) named as "girl/young lady"?

Srsly? You couldn't even make the actual space between words??? Russian is not a Chinese language - there should be space between words, duh
The square main building, like a giant block of stone, had several attention-catching black Russian letters "Российскийуниверситетдружбынародов" on it. - Belial_Sad_Hatter5mthReplied to Nessie_Smith

With that, Huanhuan slapped her thigh and laughed. - Belial_Sad_Hatter1yrCommented
Shtupid 🤦🏻♀️
"Yes, yes! Of course, I like you!" - Belial_Sad_Hatter1yrCommented
Yes! Why?! 😂
"Would a bad person have the word 'bad' written on their forehead?!" The system was heartbroken. "Why did I give birth to such a stupid daughter?!" - Belial_Sad_Hatter1yrCommented
So she's a pet now. Cute
It was too boring for him to live alone. It was good to have a little pet by his side. - Belial_Sad_Hatter1yrCommented
They need to hurry and escape quickly, but all that he can think about is mating with a tree 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
"The sensations when mating." Sang Ye paused and suddenly remembered. "I remember that plants mate with pollen, right? Can you bloom?"
