Today is the football final at the Rio Olympics: Brazil v Germany.

Brazil is waiting for this final. They are waiting to avenge Germany for the disgrace of the summer of 2014, when Germany defeated Brazil 7-1 in the semi-finals of the World Cup.

Will they get their revenge. Maybe they have come for a second course.

Whether he'll get his revenge. Maybe they came for a second course.

They might. The more so because the Germans have an incentive: the German team have already won the Olympic tournament, beating the Swedes 2-1 in the final.

From the outside, Leno seemed to be thinking. In fact, there was a lonely cockroach running around in her head, saying, "What to do, what to do?

And the cockroach must have been a foreigner, for he was mucking about. A Russian cockroach - he'd be wailing... especially in Russian Lenochka's head. :-)

Perhaps in the original it was prichital, but for me it's such a strange and ancient word (which isn't disposed to humour, I even looked up its meaning in the dictionary), that I replaced it with a more modern priznital.

Alexandr Saprykin:

I somehow trust the explanatory dictionaries of the Russian language - Ozhegov, Ushakov and Efremova.

wail:
1. To cry, saying, complaining about something.
2. to make a ritual lament (2 sense). for the deceased (over the deceased).

But to rehabilitate is more often used in the meaning of to rehabilitate, to rehabilitate, to rehabilitate...

Although in the same Ephremova:
to cause is the same as: to reckon.

All right, the question is closed. It's scary out there - in the wilds of linguistics.
