'Vodrusils'a' means sit down, presumably there was Explanation: kind of a stool used to stand near the bar; 'grusno' means that this man was of a solid constitution; so, to say 'vodrusils'a' instead of 'sit down'is justified, though somewhat informal. I suppose, that the place where he sit down was opposite to 'vyruchka' whether the meaning is just money collected or money drawer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2004-07-02 18:46:01 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, everywhere in \'sit\' \'s\' is ommitted. |
