... but you don't like the way they cook meth? :)

А здесь не будет согласования времён? Или я что-то путаю?

нет, просто cook food звучит немного смешно. Не нужно уточнить food c глаголом соок.

Хорошо. Перестаралась.

Cook meth- a funny example, Uly! ha ha ha

Uly, are canteen and dining hall used interchangebly?

Actually canteen is only used in a military facility. Also it's the metal thing that soldiers drink water out of.

Hahaha! I'm glad you found that amusing. I'm here all week :-)

Аnd i (and not only me) was taught to use it for the place to eat at school, for example. Gosh! I should start it from the ABCs

Hahaha. I think they used to use that word more in the 50s. Don't feel bad. I think it's safe to call it a CAFETERIA, as in a school or hospital. We also have places to eat in shopping centers, which we call FOOD COURT.

And how should i call the metal thing with the tap upside down which gives water when somebody presses the button, then?

like fountain

a water cooler

WHAT should I call...

Oh, you mean a water fountain.

I kinda like the word 'refectory' :)

What is called water cooler here is like a plastic bottle. And i mean the thing like the sink only to drink not to wash up?

Of course, what should i call! Many thanks, Uly! We call it фонтанчик. I m happy you are here.:)

Yes, that's a water fountain. Thanks for the Russian word btw.

Today I learned two chick words: fontanchik and oduvanchik)

Nastya, what on earth is a refectory?

:))) питьевой фонтанчик, they translated it this way. By the way, одуванчик means not only dendelion. Бабушка, "божий одуванчик", прикупила питьевой фонтанчик.

Refectory is a dining room, especially in boarding schools and academic institutions. Can be 'Harry Potter' style or modern.

Aha, you learn something new every day :)

божий одуванчик is a cool expression. So it's like a sweet, delicate old lady?

That's it, Uly!

Cool, thank you!

Anytime!;)
