🇬🇧 The cat is purring.
❓ Кошка мурлычет / мурлыкает / мурчит.
Which form is correct?
1. Мурлыкать
[mur-ly-kat']
1) To make a quiet purr (about a
cat)
2) To hum quietly or speak in a
soft voice (about a person)
🔻Both forms мурлычет and мурлыкает are given in Russian dictionaries as correct but мурлыкает is considered to be more colloquial.
Also:
2. Мурчать
[mur-chat']
1) (about animals) to make
growling sounds, to purr
2) Colloquial: To speak in a
grumpy tone, to mutter
So, all 3 forms мурлычет, мурлыкает and мурчит can be used to translate the English sentence 'The cat is purring.'

🇷🇺 Кто сказал, что работа - это стресс? Мне всего 33, и я отлично себя чувствую!

🇬🇧 Who said work is stressful? I'm only 33 and I feel great!
• Чувствовать себя (imperf.)
[chus-tva-vat' si-bya]
To feel
🔻 When talking about how you feel in Russian, a reflexive pronoun 'себя' (oneself) is used by all means:
• Как ты себя чувствуешь?
[ kak ty si-bya chus-tvu-yesh]
How are you feeling?/
How do you feel?
🔻Also a noun:
• Самочувствие (neut.)
[sa-ma-chus-tvi-ye]
The way one feels, health, the
state of well-being
🔻You can also use 'чувствовать' without 'себя' if you talk about other feelings (to feel something, to think, to believe):
• Я чувствую, что он прав!
[ya chu-stvu-yu shto on praf]
🇬🇧 I have a feeling/I believe he's right!
