But after some time. Some time later. B) Circumstances expressed by nouns

You've been together for a while. Perhaps several months, perhaps many years. You were passionate about each other, or even in love. Then it happened that you broke up.

You were sad, angry, cried, lost a couple of kilograms. I consoled myself with my friends, visited a psychologist, played sports, traveled the world, took up a dozen new hobbies, realized that life was just beginning, began to look great, go to concerts, theaters, and dates. I started smiling in the morning and before bed. Suddenly…

Rising from the ashes, he is born. As in the old joke: “All in white!”

Where he was? Why did you come back? What does he want? How should I react to him? These and other questions instantly pop up in a woman’s head, leading her into confusion.

A colleague of mine once gave a great example from the life of porcupines: “At night, when it gets cool, porcupines roll together to warm themselves. But as soon as they get close, they hurt each other with their long needles. Animals move away from pain. It gets cold again, they get closer again, hurt each other, roll back... This is how the night of the porcupines passes.”

When I heard this story, I immediately had an association with ex-men. There is no such “porcupine” that has never “rolled” back. Why are they doing that?

Why they come back: three reasons

The first reason: to evaluate the correctness of the choice

Men are pragmatic, and for the most part have an analytical mind. Once a man has made a choice, he checks its relevance and correctness at certain intervals. Be it marriage with a woman, or breaking up with her. At the same time, it is worth understanding that a man remembers his ex at the moment when something went wrong with his present one. Therefore, by the frequency of appearances, you can track the dynamics of his personal life without even asking him about it.

Second reason: check ownership

If the initiative for the breakup came from a man, and especially if there was no breakup as such, and he simply moved away, he retains a sense of the right to possess this woman for a long time. And then the man appears to make sure that her thoughts and feelings still belong to him.

Your emotional reaction will help him make sure of this. It doesn’t matter whether it is positive or negative. If a woman loves and waits, she belongs to him. If a woman hates or suffers, she belongs to him. This is why our ex calls us so often emotional reaction. Cold-blooded, benevolent indifference is the worst thing a man can discover. So he understands that the woman is no longer his.

Third reason: you started living

A happy woman has a magnet - a man is drawn to her. Starting a relationship in a fulfilled state, a woman focuses on the man and forgets about life in all its diversity. And it becomes empty.

Then for a long time, suffering for a man after a breakup, the woman does not really live, remaining empty. Naturally, he doesn’t remember her. But when she begins to live, do things she loves, communicate, enjoy, go on dates, create career success, the man feels this energy. The energy of life, positivity, success, pleasure, and immediately appears. A full, charged woman becomes interesting to him again.

If an ex appears in your life, and you are not going to renew your relationship with him, then remember these three tips.

The appearance of former men in a woman’s life can be safely perceived as a compliment to her energetic fullness.

Tip 2: Be friends if such relationships create value for you

I don't recommend making friends with ex-man within a year or two after the breakup. This is the period of living through loss. At this moment, friendship cannot be sincere; most likely, it is accompanied by suffering and hopes of one of the parties. But after the separation process has been completed, we can maintain friendly relations with former partners if it is beneficial and pleasant for both.

Being friends with an ex means receiving/creating help and support, collaborating, raising your spirits, and much more that people who like each other in many ways can do.

Tip 3: Be amazed and grateful for universal wisdom

It’s surprising, but through the prism of time, people begin to understand that the breakup was not a drama, not a tragedy, but a gift. Almost no one, ten years after a divorce or separation, thinks about renewing their relationship. The more time passes, the more obvious the grand design of the universe becomes.

I wish you good past, present and future female happiness, my dears!

In the explanatory dictionary it is defined as part of complex words, but it can also be qualified as a prefix. In spelling, it is considered a prefix (see about this, for example, in the reference books of D. E. Rosenthal). On this basis fast according to the rule, it is written together and requires a separating mark after itself before the next part, starting with e, e, yu, i.

	Question No. 290583

Hello, our teacher gave us a task to compare modern standards using the r.p. form pl. including the words “gram”, “kilogram” and norms of use in the 2000s, and sent us to your portal to figure it out. I found how to use these words correctly today, but I would like to ask you how it was in the 2000s.

Russian help desk response

Thanks for the interesting question! But it is interesting to trace the history of forms gram – grams, kilogram – kilograms starting not from the 2000s, but at least over the last half century. It is still widely believed that forms gram, kilogram V genitive case pl. the numbers are wrong. Meanwhile, dictionaries indicated their admissibility back in the 1950s.

In the dictionary-reference book “Russian literary pronunciation and stress”, ed. R.I. Avanesov and S.I. Ozhegov (M., 1959) make the following division: grams – mainly in writing, gram – mainly in oral speech after numerals. Same with kilograms: kilograms – in writing, kilogram – orally (there is no talk about numerals here).

This division survived until the early 2000s, although over these half-century dictionaries sometimes indicated the option gram, kilogram as acceptable, it was not indicated. For example, in the 10th edition of the “Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Language” (M., 1970) - only grams And kilograms, and the 9th edition of the “Dictionary of the Russian Language” by S. I. Ozhegov (edited by N. Yu. Shvedova), published two years later, repeats the recommendation of 1959: grams –mainly in writing,gram –mainly in oral speech after numerals;kilograms –in writing,kilogram –orally. The academic “Russian Grammar” (M., 1980) also indicated that in oral speech the forms grams, kilograms not common.

In the 21st edition of the “Dictionary of the Russian Language” by S. I. Ozhegov (M., 1989) options gram And grams, kilograms And kilograms already given as equal rights. It would seem that the forms gram And kilogram have finally become normative. However, the 2nd edition of the dictionary by L.K. Graudina, V.A. Itskovich, L.P. Katlinskaya “Grammatical Correctness of Russian Speech” (M., 2001) states that the division into oral and written speech in the last decade of the 20th century and at the turn of the century it was still noted: “Household units of weight measurements gram, kilogram in oral speech they are used in the overwhelming majority with zero inflection. In written speech, under the influence of editorial proofreading, currently only the forms are used grams And kilograms».

Modern dictionaries of the Russian language, as a rule, no longer provide separate recommendations for the use of these words in oral and written speech. There are publications where forms with a zero ending and with an ending - ov recorded as equal - for example, “Dictionary of Russian language difficulties for media workers” by M. A. Studiner (M., 2016). But still, most dictionaries give more detailed recommendations, distinguishing between the use of these forms in combination with a numeral (in counting form) and outside of such a combination. In combination with numeral options gram And grams, kilograms And kilograms are recognized as equal, but outside of such a combination (which occurs, however, much less frequently), only grams, kilograms. Such a recommendation – in “Russian spelling dictionary» RAS ed. V. V. Lopatina, O. E. Ivanova (4th ed. M., 2012), “Orthoepic Dictionary of the Russian Language”, ed. N. A. Eskova (10th ed. M., 2015), “Big Universal Dictionary of the Russian Language,” ed. V. V. Morkovkina (M., 2016). It seems the most justified.

So now it is true: five grams And five grams, six kilograms And six kilograms but (outside of combination with a numeral): counting the number of grams and kilograms(Not gram and kilogram).

Novosibirsk. Some time later, representatives of Soyuz LLC discovered in the places where their directory was distributed, another directory published by Moment LLC.

Soyuz LLC filed a lawsuit to oblige Moment LLC to stop violating the exclusive right to the work – the Directory “City Medical Institutions”, and to withdraw all distributed copies of the directory “City Medicine” from civil circulation. Moment LLC did not agree with the claim, motivating its objections by the fact that the plaintiff’s directory is not the result creative activity and, accordingly, cannot be recognized as an object of intellectual property; both directories contain publicly available information about the names of medical institutions, types of medical care provided, telephone numbers and addresses.

Nihel held the cigarette between his index finger and thumb, blowing a stream of smoke upward. It has gotten noticeably colder outside over the past week, and he doesn’t even have anywhere to go to warm up except to his sister’s room. However, in a day, he will have to think about how to keep both of them warm. The money he collected from Tom should have been enough for the operation and part of the rehabilitation period, however, the price of the operation increased sharply, and he had difficulty finding the missing amount. The attending physician made it clear that without proper rehabilitation, the girl is unlikely to live until next summer, which means they have very little time left to be together. After tomorrow the postoperative period ended, and he had to either get money or pick up his sister. The young man took another drag and threw the bull into the trash. He still had to tell his sister about this, but she believed so much that she would now be healthy.
-What's going on here? – The nurses were cleaning the empty room. The bed was empty, neither the girl nor her things were there. - Where is my sister?
“She was transported,” answered one of the girls.
-Where were they transported? For what? – he turned around and rushed to the office of the head doctor. As he expected, she was there. In her old clothes, which were long out of size for her, judging by the way her arms stuck out of the sleeves and the trouser legs rose above her ankles.
-What's happening? – he walked up to his sister, who immediately leaned against him. She was still quite weak, - I thought we still had time.
“You have plenty of time now,” said the doctor and closed the patient’s personal file, “your sister is being transferred to another place.”
-Which place?
“It’s strange, I thought that you should be aware of what is happening,” he took out a document and handed it to the young man. He ran his eyes over it and stared at the name.
- Wait, there’s some kind of mistake here. I can’t pay for insurance, not to mention...To pay for a day’s stay in this place, I will need to work for a year,” he clenched the piece of paper in his fist.
-Listen, I don't know. But I received a request last night that I must prepare the medical history, documents and discharge by noon. Deal with them yourself, but my advice to you is. Even if it's a mistake, it will buy you a couple of days. Or maybe no one will find out, and then your sister will receive rehabilitation in one of the best research centers. In any case, they are already here, and you have nowhere to go.
Nikhel's sister was strictly forbidden to move independently, so in this moment she was in a special stroller, which was driven slowly in front of her by a young man. In the corridor he was met by orderlies dressed in the uniform of the research center where they were being taken.
“Let me do it,” the guy carefully watched how carefully and neatly the people in uniform treated his sister, and how joyfully she smiled at them. Yes, she would have done very well there, and perhaps she would have had a chance there. Provided he could afford it.
The first thing he did was go to the administrator to clarify the situation. Of course, he could listen to the doctor and pretend that everything was as it should be, but now, when he had nothing to pay for even yesterday’s dinner and today’s breakfast, and now apparently also lunch, he could not afford to get into another an unpleasant story, so that he and his sister would be forced to pay fines and pay the full cost of living in this place.
“Listen, girl,” he leaned tiredly on the counter, “I simply don’t have that kind of money.” It's some kind of mistake. You yourself will then get screwed by management.
-So! – a young girl with long curly sand-colored hair, who suited the white uniform like no one else, looked menacingly at the dark-skinned guy, “How many times do I have to tell you that I’ll get into trouble much more if I don’t place you in the next 5 minutes.” Here,” she unfolded the logbook and pointed her finger at the line, “Is this her name?”
“Yes, but,” the guy bit his tongue. He could not admit that this name was false.
- So, no buts! – the girl slammed the magazine and stood up.
-Listen, there aren’t many people with the same name. I'm homeless! I can't even pay for my lunch, let alone her maintenance here.
“It shouldn’t worry me,” she put her palm forward, thereby showing that she no longer intended to argue. - Everything is paid 3 months in advance. And you are wasting my time, I should check if your sister is well accommodated, and not listen to what is too good for her here!
The girl quickly walked along the corridor, away from the strange young man. Nikhel, sighing bitterly, followed her. There was no logic in all this, but at least the fact that his sister would be warm and well-fed for some more time could not help but make him happy.
Walking into the room, he felt even more empty inside himself. It didn't look like a hospital block or a research center at all, it was a real children's room. Beige light walls, with watercolor paintings, looking at which you feel peace, large windows through which the sun shines in good weather, soft toys, even a carpet on the floor.
Nihel looked at his sister. She seemed so happy, sitting in a large bed and hugging her already beloved bear with one hand. Perhaps when they were kicked out, the guy could steal it for her.
He looked at her and for the first time in a long time saw her like this, not in pain.
“Lunch will be brought soon,” the girl said softly, smoothing the child’s tousled hair, and left.
-I like it here so much! – the girl said enthusiastically, “And Uncle Bill gave me a cake.”
-Who is Uncle Bill? – the guy immediately became wary. On the small table there really was a tiny children's cake, weighing about 250 grams, no more. Nikhel was ready to swear that he had already seen him somewhere - I told you that you can’t talk to strangers. You can never. Moreover, accept gifts from them. Not all people are good, my dear, and some want to harm us.
“Some, perhaps, but not me,” rang out male voice behind them. Nikhel turned around and opened his mouth in surprise. That's someone he definitely didn't expect to see... alive. Bill was dressed in cream-colored skinny jeans tucked into rough boots, and a black turtleneck, over which was thrown a white robe, “hello,” he said affably and extended his hand.
-It's you? – not believing his eyes, Nikhel shook the outstretched hand, rather in order to make sure of the reality of the person standing in front of him, “So you succeeded?”
-To a certain degree…
-And Tom, he...
-He's alive. But, for now,” Bill licked his lips, “let’s not talk about this “yet.” I was told that you are too nervous about all this,” he spread his arms to the sides, pointing to the room, “And I came to calm you down.”
-Is this your doing?
-Let's go out?
They left the ward, closing the door not all the way so that they could see the girl, who, however, was already carried away by her new plush friend and did not pay attention to everything else.
-Bill, why?
-You helped us, so I want to help you.
-I didn't help you. We had a deal.
-You didn’t betray us, you let us go and fulfilled your part of the agreement, I believe that under the conditions of that situation, this is help. I’m alive, and not without your merit,” Nihel vaguely recalled the events of that day, and suddenly remembered where exactly he saw that small cake standing on his sister’s table now. It was in this, only larger one, that he handed Tom the weapon.
“This,” the guy exhaled and spread his hands. He didn't have words to describe everything he felt. Despair, relief, pain, hope, disappointment, faith, love, gratitude and many more conflicting emotions. He swayed and leaned against the wall to steady himself. When was the last time he cried? Yes, probably when he was five years old. It had been an eternity since then, but now he just couldn't....couldn't keep it to himself. He slid down the wall, sitting on the floor, and couldn’t even squeeze out a “thank you.”
-Too much? - Bill, not sparing his clean, light clothes, sat down next to him. - I understand. Believe me, I now know perfectly well what it is to feel hope and how difficult it is. Consider this the very missing piece that Tom and I didn’t have back then.
-This is far from the same part.
-The same one. A life saved for a life saved. “It sounds very... pretentious now,” Bill grinned, “and I have no right to say that we will succeed and we will cure her.” But this is the best research center in the country, and one of the best in the world. If she can get help, it's here, and believe me, I'll make sure every effort is made.

It is very expensive….
-Stop it! Money is... believe me, the events of my life show that money is not something you should hold on to. I paid too much for what I have. Moreover, there are enough patients in this place who can pay for their upkeep to the extent they deserve. Well, - Bill hesitated slightly.
-What?
-We have not disclosed all of my uncle’s fraudulent accounts. I appropriated a certain part of the money for myself. And, you know? He did so many terrible things for their sake.... Nothing can be corrected, but I can direct them to good deeds. Some of them went towards organizing a charitable foundation that will sponsor research into rare diseases like your sister’s. My mother is at the head of all this, so don't worry about being deceived or anything like that. She turns out to have a talent for this matter.
“Thank you,” the guy whispered, wiping his cheeks. His sister shouldn't see him cry.
Nikhel spent almost the entire day with his sister, and only when it got dark outside and the girl fell asleep did he leave the ward. He still had nowhere to go and no money for food. In the afternoon he ate the cake that his sister gave him, saying with all responsibility that she couldn’t, and the cake would be lost. But for a person who had not eaten for two days, this was very little.
The guy buttoned up his shabby jacket, because it was raining outside, and goosebumps were already running down his skin, and he hadn’t even left the warm room yet.
“Goodbye,” he said to the girl with whom he had argued in the morning.
-Where are you going in this weather? As far as I understand, you have nowhere to go.
-I can't stay here.
The girl frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
- Rumor has it that you spoke with the general director of all this today. This is true? – the girl blushed slightly, embarrassed, “With William Kauffman.. and you called him Bill?”
-Something like that…
-Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that it’s…. If you have nowhere to go, then... you could... stay with me for a while. No, no, no, this is not at all because you know our director... Lord,” she covered her face with her hands, “what am I talking about?!” It’s just that I…..don’t have the habit of inviting home every homeless person I come across.
“This... is probably right,” said the guy, who did not yet fully understand what exactly the girl was trying to tell him.
-Yes, but I thought that if Mr. Kauffman... He stood up for you, then you can be trusted.... And I….
-I don't understand what you're trying to say.
-Lord, I invite you to spend the night at my house, and not on the street where it’s raining!!! – the girl flared up.
-ABOUT…. – that’s all the guy could squeeze out, a little dumbfounded by such a proposal.
-ABOUT? Is that all you can say?! ABOUT? – the girl got up from her seat and took her purse, “I was counting on a thank you, not an O,” she took off her robe, under which she found a turquoise dress made of fine wool, which suited her extremely well.
Nikhel was also surprised because this type of girl is usually characterized by excessive self-love. She was one of those people whom men do not approach on the street to meet, knowing in advance that they will not be attracted.
-Won’t your boyfriend kill me? -Nichel smiled. He’s not a fool to refuse to spend the night in the warmth and in the company of a beautiful girl, who, moreover, invited him herself.
-Ha! My last boyfriend was a complete idiot, but my cat can do it,” she walked up to the young man and extended her hand, “I’m Marley, by the way.”
“Nikhel,” he answered the handshake.
-Do you like pizza? I'm dying for sausage pizza.
The guy followed the girl to the hanger, where she took her coat, opened the door for her, and held an open umbrella over her head on the way to the car, and to himself he thought that he knew when he would celebrate Christmas now.

Please tell me is there a comma before "and"? I hope Ivanov is released and he signs a new contract.

The comma is not needed because introductory word Hope refers to both parts of a complex sentence.

Russian help desk response

See dictionary commit: post-nuclear And fast. The discrepancy between the explanatory dictionary and spelling guides concerns only what morpheme the part is fast-. In the explanatory dictionary it is defined as part of complex words, but it can also be qualified as a prefix. In spelling, it is considered a prefix (see about this, for example, in the reference books of D. E. Rosenthal). On this basis fast according to the rule, it is written together and requires a separating mark after itself before the next part, starting with e, e, yu, i.

	Question No. 290583

Hello, our teacher gave us the task of comparing modern standards for using the r.p. form. pl. including the words “gram”, “kilogram” and norms of use in the 2000s, and sent us to your portal to figure it out. I found how to use these words correctly today, but I would like to ask you how it was in the 2000s.

Russian help desk response

Thanks for the interesting question! But it is interesting to trace the history of forms gram – grams, kilogram – kilograms starting not from the 2000s, but at least over the last half century. It is still widely believed that forms gram, kilogram in the plural genitive case. the numbers are wrong. Meanwhile, dictionaries indicated their admissibility back in the 1950s.

In the dictionary-reference book “Russian literary pronunciation and stress,” ed. R.I. Avanesov and S.I. Ozhegov (M., 1959) make the following division: grams – mainly in writing, gram – mainly in oral speech after numerals. Same with kilograms: kilograms – in writing, kilogram – orally (there is no talk about numerals here).

This division survived until the early 2000s, although over these half-century dictionaries sometimes indicated the option gram, kilogram as acceptable, it was not indicated. For example, in the 10th edition of the “Spelling Dictionary of the Russian Language” (M., 1970) - only grams And kilograms, and the 9th edition of the “Dictionary of the Russian Language” by S. I. Ozhegov (edited by N. Yu. Shvedova), published two years later, repeats the recommendation of 1959: grams –mainly in writing,gram –mainly in oral speech after numerals;kilograms –in writing,kilogram –orally. The academic “Russian Grammar” (M., 1980) also indicated that in oral speech the forms grams, kilograms not common.

In the 21st edition of the “Dictionary of the Russian Language” by S. I. Ozhegov (M., 1989) options gram And grams, kilograms And kilograms already given as equal rights. It would seem that the forms gram And kilogram have finally become normative. However, the 2nd edition of the dictionary by L.K. Graudina, V.A. Itskovich, L.P. Katlinskaya “Grammatical Correctness of Russian Speech” (M., 2001) states that the division into oral and written speech in the last decade of the 20th century and at the turn of the century it was still noted: “Household units of weight measurements gram, kilogram in oral speech they are used in the overwhelming majority with zero inflection. In written speech, under the influence of editorial proofreading, currently only the forms are used grams And kilograms».

Modern dictionaries of the Russian language, as a rule, no longer provide separate recommendations for the use of these words in oral and written speech. There are publications where forms with a zero ending and with an ending - ov recorded as equal - for example, “Dictionary of Russian language difficulties for media workers” by M. A. Studiner (M., 2016). But still, most dictionaries give more detailed recommendations, distinguishing between the use of these forms in combination with a numeral (in counting form) and outside of such a combination. In combination with numeral options gram And grams, kilograms And kilograms are recognized as equal, but outside of such a combination (which occurs, however, much less frequently), only grams, kilograms. This recommendation is in the “Russian Spelling Dictionary” of the Russian Academy of Sciences, ed. V. V. Lopatina, O. E. Ivanova (4th ed. M., 2012), “Orthoepic Dictionary of the Russian Language”, ed. N. A. Eskova (10th ed. M., 2015), “Big Universal Dictionary of the Russian Language,” ed. V. V. Morkovkina (M., 2016). It seems the most justified.

So now it is true: five grams And five grams, six kilograms And six kilograms but (outside of combination with a numeral): counting the number of grams and kilograms(Not gram and kilogram).

	Question No. 290365

Employees of Soyuz LLC, as part of their official assignment, compiled a directory “Medical institutions of the city.” This reference book was published in large quantities and distributed throughout the mountains. Novosibirsk. Some time later, representatives of Soyuz LLC discovered in the places where their directory was distributed, another directory published by Moment LLC. The content of the new directory was identical to the content of the directory “Medical Institutions of the City”. Soyuz LLC filed a lawsuit to oblige Moment LLC to stop violating the exclusive right to the work – the Directory “City Medical Institutions”, and to withdraw all distributed copies of the directory “City Medicine” from civil circulation. Moment LLC did not agree with the claim, motivating its objections by the fact that the plaintiff’s directory is not the result of creative activity and, accordingly, cannot be recognized as an object of intellectual property; both directories contain publicly available information about the names of medical institutions, types of medical care provided, telephone numbers and addresses. What legally significant circumstances must be established for the correct resolution of the case? Resolve the dispute on its merits.
