    • 1886, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], Иван Матвеич; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Ivan Matveyitch, 1920:
      Быва́ют да́же мину́ты, когда́ ему́ ка́жется, что учёный привяза́лся к нему́, привы́к, и е́сли брани́т его́ за опа́здывания, то то́лько потому́, что скуча́ет по его́ болтовне́ о тара́нтулах и о том, как на Дону́ ло́вят щегля́т.
      Byvájut dáže minúty, kogdá jemú kážetsja, što učónyj privjazálsja k nemú, privýk, i jésli branít jevó za opázdyvanija, to tólʹko potomú, što skučájet po jevó boltovné o tarántulax i o tom, kak na Donú lóvjat ščeglját.
      There are moments when he even fancies that the man of learning is becoming attached to him, used to him, and that if he scolds him for being late, it's simply because he misses his chatter about tarantulas and how they catch goldfinches on the Don.
