Title: | A quotation from Griboedov's 'GOre ot umA' that states a link between being in love and being unaware of time
|
Answer: | SchastLIViye chasOv ne nablyudAyut
|
Hints: | 1. those who are happy don't feel the time go by (put in a poetic, non-colloquial way)
2. schAst'ye = happiness 3. here: time = hours = 'chasY' |
Equivalents: | 1. Te, kto schAstlivy, ne zamechAyut vrEmeni.
2. SchastLIViye lyUdi ne zamechAyut kak prokhOdit vrEmya. 3. SchastLIViye lyUdi ne zamechAyut kak leTIT vrEmya. |
Explanation: | This quotation sounds poetic and in a way old-fashioned (speakers of modern Russian would never put it that way, because literally the quotation means: happy (people) don't observe hours). We would rather say something like: Te, kto schAstlivy, ne zamechAyut vrEmeni. It is also possible to say: SchastLIViye lyUdi ne zamechAyut kak prokhOdit vrEmya /ne zamechAyut kak leTIT vrEmya.
By 'happy people' Griboedov meant those who are in love. This is clear from the context of his literary work 'GOre ot umA' - a very enjoyable and smart, thought provoking piece of writing.
By the way, the Russian phrase 'vrEmya leTIT' is equivalent to the English 'time flies'.
