The combination of letters YO is uncharacteristic for the Russian language. This combination is expressed by the letter E. The correct spelling is yogurt, yoghurt.

2.
A year is a concept of time not marked by any exceptional events, that is, of time as such.
Godina is a derivative of “year”; the word emphasized the special, emotional nature of the time it denotes. This time was characterized by the most significant events and phenomena (the year of salvation, the year of marriage). For example, in “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” it is said: “Already, brethren, a sad time has arisen.”
The noun year with the meaning time fell out of use - it was supplanted by borrowing “time” from the Old Church Slavonic language. The word refers to neutral vocabulary. The stylistically colored word godina received a sublime stylistic connotation (a time of troubles, adversity, trials...). This was facilitated by the suffix –in-, emphasizing the expressiveness and emotionality of the word’s meaning.

3.

In the modern Russian language, only in the dialect nautek the memory of the original meaning of the word (to move quickly) has been preserved.

IV. Modern Russian language

1.
1. Pronoun, according to the outstanding philologist V.V. Vinogradov, a special part of speech in modern Russian. Firstly, a pronoun is a part of speech that does not have its own meaning, but replaces words of other parts of speech. For example, in the phrase Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old, the pronoun HE replaces the noun neighbor. With the help of pronouns, the speaker either points to a person, object, sign, quantity, or generalizes them, but does not name them. For example, with the pronoun such a speaker indicates a sign, with the pronoun so much - with the quantity, and with the help interrogative pronoun Who? asks about a face or persons. No other independent part speech has no such feature. Secondly, the peculiarity of pronouns is that they allow you to avoid repetition of words in the text, since they are a means of communication between parts of sentences and sentences as a whole: Yesterday we met a neighbor, he was very old. The pronoun OH in this sentence is a means of communication.

2. One more interesting feature pronouns – the personal pronouns you and you form the basis speech etiquette: YOU are used to address each other in the family, between relatives, friends; on YOU - people little known and unfamiliar. The pronoun YOU is also accepted in official and official settings.
A.S. Pushkin uses precisely this semantic feature of personal pronouns. Lyrical hero A.S. Pushkina speaks of the desire to move from official relationships to loved ones, hence the cordial you.

2.
Indo-European family: Spanish, German, Lithuanian, Russian, Greek, Iranian.
Uralic (Finno-Ugric) family: Hungarian, Finnish, Estonian.
Turkic family: Tatar, Azerbaijani, Turkish.
Caucasian family: Georgian.

The following pronunciation correspondences are observed between Polish and Russian words: b-b, k-k, x –ch [x], ch – cz [ch], p (hard) - r, p (soft) - rz [z], l (hard) - l, l (soft) - li. In addition, Polish [a] can correspond to Russian. This correspondence occurs before two consonants. Now let’s try to write down these words in transcription and translate them into Russian:
rzepa – [zhepa] – turnip. Everything is fine.
gorzeli - [gozhel] - burned. Everything is fine again.
burza – [buzha] – storm. No problem.
grzech - [gzhekh] - sin. Everything is fine.
This means that the correct answer is D): marzla – [majla].
According to the rules established above, the Polish [majla] must correspond to the Russian merla. But there is no such word in Russian.

4.
Answer: D). The words fox and lecturer have a zero ending.
A) Dining room - flock (in the word dining room the ending is aya, in the word flock - ya).

6.
In the Russian language there are paired and unpaired hard consonants. For example: [B] - [B], [T] - [T], etc. Always solid unpaired ones are [zh], [w], [ts]. Once upon a time, the sounds [zh], [sh], [t] were soft and words with them were written like this: belly, awl. In the 13th century, the hardening of hissing [zh], [sh], and in the 14th-15th centuries - [ts] occurred. Words with these sounds began to be pronounced firmly, but the spelling remained the same. The letter I after Zh, Sh, Ts recalls the former softness of hissing sounds and the sound [ts]. The final hardening of the sound [ts] in the 16th - 17th centuries. reflected in the letter: fathers, streets, Lisitsyn, chubby.
We write: “The gypsy on tiptoe tutted to the chicken: “Tsits!”
