If a Russian says this to an American… RUN

[00:00:00]If a Russian says this to you, run.

[00:00:06]Literally, it means I'll explain it to you. Let me explain.

[00:00:13]In English, it sounds polite and means clarity. In Russian, it sounds like a final warning. It means I'm done talking.

[00:00:21]It doesn't mean clarity is coming. It means patience leaving. So, if you hear this, don't reach for your dictionary. Reach for your sneakers. Run.
