This Russian video lesson is going to be fun and easy, perfect for Friday. We’ve already talked about pets in Russian, and you’ve learned a lot of useful Russian vocabulary to help you talk about your pet.

There are many Russian sayings with domestic animals. I found a few examples below.

Денег куры не клюют.
They are rolling in money.
(Lit., They have so much money that the chickens don’t peck it any more.)

Собака помнит кто её кормит.
The dog remembers who is feeding her.

Не успела кошка умыться, а гости наехали.
Before the cat had time to finish washing herself, the guests have arrived.

Дареному коню в зубы не смотрят.
You shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Жалеть коня – истомить себя.
You will exhaust yourself if you spare a horse.
