Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]орёл • (orjól) m anim (genitive орла́, nominative plural орлы́, genitive plural орло́в, relational adjective орли́ный)
- eagle
- Synonym: царь птиц (carʹ ptic)
- Hypernym: пти́ца (ptíca)
- Hyponyms: бе́ркут (bérkut), моги́льник (mogílʹnik)
- 1839 – 1841, М. Ю. Лермонтов, Герой нашего времени :
- Там есть где разверну́ть холо́дные кры́лья, а здесь тебе́ ду́шно и тесно, как орлу́, кото́рый с кри́ком бьётся о решётку желе́зной свое́й кле́тки.
- Tam jestʹ gde razvernútʹ xolódnyje krýlʹja, a zdesʹ tebé dúšno i tesno, kak orlú, kotóryj s kríkom bʹjótsja o rešótku želéznoj svojéj klétki.
- 1916 translation by J.H. Wisdom, Marr Murray
- There mayest thou unfold thy cold wings, but here thou art stifled and confined, like an eagle beating his wings, with a shriek, against the grating of his iron cage!
- Там есть где разверну́ть холо́дные кры́лья, а здесь тебе́ ду́шно и тесно, как орлу́, кото́рый с кри́ком бьётся о решётку желе́зной свое́й кле́тки.
- (colloquial) heads (the side of a coin bearing a coat of arms, e.g. Russia's double-headed eagle)
- (figuratively) a brave man
Usage notes
[edit]- The range of species referred to as орёл (orjól) is smaller than the range of species referred to as eagles in English. For example, the bald eagle and other members of Haliaeetus genus are referred to as орла́н (orlán), not орёл (orjól).
- The terms орёл (orjól) and ре́шка (réška) are applicable only to coins which, like Russia's coinage, have a coat of arms on one side and something else (e.g. the portrait of the head of state or the value of the coin) on the other. The terms аве́рс (avérs) and ре́верс (révers) are more universally applicable, but used mainly in numismatics.
