中国文化中的谐音文化不仅是人们用来趋吉避凶，也可以在学习中去记忆一些枯燥无味的数字，比如，圆周率。故事中的老师要求学生背诵圆周率小数点后30位，这可难倒了学生。有的学生唉声叹气，死记硬背；有的学生则跑出了教室，去山上玩耍。玩耍的学生来到山上，却看见老师正在和一和尚喝酒聊天，于是学生们……

Здравствуйте. Это четвёртый эпизод подкаста "Глубинный народ", взгляд на культуру России из провинции.  

У школьных учителей в России есть такая шутка.

"Попробуйте ответить на вопрос. Как правильно сказать: у рыбов нет зубов, у рыбей нет зубей или у рыб нет зуб?"

В этой шутке мы видим три окончания формы родительного падежа множественного числа существительных:
-ов (-ев): столов, компьютеров, платьев;
-ей: морей, мышей, дочерей;
нулевое окончание: башен, вишен, туч.

Эта форма очень трудна, потому что закономерности выбора окончания хотя и существуют, но их очень много — и они непоследовательны.

В советской "Песне о Родине" есть такие строки:

"Широка страна моя родная, 
Много в ней лесов, полей и рек."

Во второй строке мы также видим те же окончания.

А как вы ответите на вопрос про рыб и про зубы?

Спасибо за внимание.

Глубинный народ

Родительный падеж множественного числа

这里是one minute Chinese, 每天一分钟，中文很轻松(qing1song1, light soft)！ 我们一起听一分钟，想一分钟，说一分钟，今天的话题是重复(chong2fu4, repeat)。
重复的意思是一次又一次地做同样的事情，比如你说一次对不起，又说一次对不起，我们就可以说，你重复在说对不起。
那么，如果我每天都在重复做一件事情，会有什么结果（jie2guo3, consequence）？会发生什么呢？比如每天早上起来跑步。对，我会养成（yang3cheng2,cultivate）一个习惯(xi2guan4, habit)，跑步是一个好习惯，人们把这样的重复叫做坚持(jian1chi2, persevere in)！
但是如果我每天去酒吧(jiu3ba1, bar)喝酒到天亮，白天睡觉，这就是一个坏习惯，这样的重复，也被叫做堕落(duo4luo4, degenerate)。
坚持或者堕落，这两种重复都有很强大(qiang2da4, powerful)的力量(li4liang4, power)，它们都能改变一个人，一群人，一个国家，甚至一个世界。
你的生活里，有什么是重复在做的吗？它的力量很大哦,你知道怎么驾驭（jia4yu4, control, dominate, master）它吗？

Movie Series: The Sound of Magic

"Seek the company of those who know the heart's secrets, rest beneath the tree that bears the ripest fruit. In the market of life, choose not the idle wanderer's path but the shop filled with sweetness. Not every bubbling pot holds a feast, not every pen writes truths, not every gaze sees beyond the surface, not every ocean bed holds pearls."
