How Do People Live in Russia?

Hello friends How are you I live in an apartment The first thing each apartment has things called entrance which is like an entrance So each apartment typically has multiple of them This one has 1 2 3 4 of them And in each entrance there is a certain number of apartments So let's say in this one right here as you can see apartments from 16 to 30 So there are only 15 apartments in each And typically if you want to enter the place you call your contact So let's say it's apartment number 17 And this one is working okay 17 And you call We're not going to call right now because we don't know who lives there And you typically enter the entrance and go to your apartment And a phrase for you is "I live in the second entrance " I live in the second entrance And typically in a city center people don't have cars Or maybe it's like one car per apartment As you can see right here behind is parking which is a parking And as you can see there are only 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 cars Maybe 15 cars in total in this parking But there are 60 apartments in this building So 15 cars for 60 apartments That's one car for every four apartments So it's not many apartments here Because people typically travel by car and by other means of transportation I don't have a car That's how you say that you don't have a car I don't have a car Or you can say My dad has a car My dad has a car And cars are typically stored in places called garages Like in English and in Russian it's garages Right there to my right is the garage So these right here are the garages One of each is one garage And you can say "I'm in a garage " I'm in a garage And typically you can buy these for not so expensive For you to store your car here Maybe some of your home appliances Some storage space right here And typically we have a lot of these next to the apartments Next to the apartments Because people in apartments don't have a lot of space Alright And so they store a lot of their stuff in the garage For example you can say "I will move it to the garage " I will move it to the garage And around here there are maybe about 9 or 10 garages So yeah Back to entrance Okay Another word for entrance is padik It's like a slang word for entrance So again as I said You can call your person But if you have a key like this You just put it right here And it's open So we come in We come in And then over here we have apartments We have different entrances So as you can see There's one apartment right here One right here So if you live in apartments And you live in whatever entrance And you live on the third floor I live on the third floor Usually you have to walk up the stairs Because these are small apartments It's only five floors There's not much space for elevators to begin with So you have to walk up the stairs You need to go up the stairs And typically on the second flight of stairs You have these mailboxes right here This is mailboxes So the postman comes Puts the mail in whichever apartment it is Then I get the key Check it out And take my mail Now let's walk up onto this floor right here So on this floor This is the second floor Second floor We have three apartments right here As you can see They're all one little platform right here You can enter each door And yeah That's about it for the apartments Now let's go to the private homes And see how people live in the private homes We arrived at the private homes We made it to the private houses So we're here As you can see It's all houses behind me It's typically two stories Each house is typically two stories Because people build it up themselves And one story is just not enough of space And like anywhere else When you have a private home You have a territory next to it In Russian we call it dvor Or we call it ogorod Garden is like the garden So anything that's attached to your house Is your land And you have your garage And everything of that sort So for example This right here Those doors are for the garage Okay Garage Alright So now let's go to the garden Which is the garden in Russian And show you guys how it's done Right behind me is a garden Some phrase with garden could be I need to water the garden I have to water the garden And right here is what's called a barrel And usually you have water here And the reason why we have this Is because under the sun it's going to get hot And usually the water in the pipes is cold So you cannot water your plants with cold water You cannot water with cold water Because you have these That's why you have these Barrel For you to get some water And water your plants Right there is cats Cats Also we can call them pets Pets Okay As you can see they're all outside And walking around And right here we have some flowers Some other nature And some other plants here But right now is the beginning of June So it's not a lot of ripe vegetables And so when the time comes you have your own vegetables You know ripe and ready to go For example you can say Very tasty fresh vegetables The cat wants to be in the frame And over there we have the outhouse So every Almost every private home in Russia At least the ones that I've been to Have the outhouse So it's like an outdoor toilet Because back in the day Only recently did Russian homes get the plumbing system for them It used to be that there were no toilets in the house So this is called a public restroom Public restroom Which means the street or outside You know restroom or bathroom And how people used to shower Back when there was no ping system They would take a banya every week Or twice a week They would make a banya And go in the banya to wash themselves And to shower like that But that's it for today guys I hope you got something good from this video From this topic too And I'm going to see you guys
