    Translator's comment

    In English it's good written and spoken form to put yourself last in a list of people.

Uly, I know that it's good to put oneself last in the list of people and the same is in Russian, but here there's a cat, frankly speaking, I was thinking whom to put first). Does this custom/rule apply to animals too?))

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

Yes, normally it does. However, regardless of that, in the spoken language few people adhere to this principle.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

However, it’s interesting to note that when you put the first person first, it has to be the disjunctive pronoun “me,“ it can never be “I.“

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

That’s why Kiska’s translation is incorrect.
