Maria Mersova moved from Moscow to New York 10 years ago, at the age of 15. She remembers Russian well, but some new words in the vocabulary of Moscow friends are at a dead end. For example, she cannot understand the meaning of the word “glamorous”. “I feel that you have this word that has some kind of ironic shade, but I just can’t understand why,” she wonders. - After all, in America “glamorous” is just fashionable. A very positive word.
