посолове́ть (posolovétʹpf

  1. (colloquial) to become tipsy
    • 1890, Антон Чехов , Воры; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., The Horse-Stealers, 1921:
      Оттого́, что он мно́го пил и посолове́л, и, быть мо́жет, оттого́, что он ра́за два был уличё́н во лжи, мужики́ не обраща́ли на него́ никако́го внима́ния и да́же переста́ли отвеча́ть на его́ вопро́сы.
      Ottovó, što on mnógo pil i posolovél, i, bytʹ móžet, ottovó, što on ráza dva byl uličón vo lži, mužikí ne obraščáli na nevó nikakóvo vnimánija i dáže perestáli otvečátʹ na jevó voprósy.
      Either because he had drunk a great deal and was a little tipsy, or perhaps because he had twice been detected in a lie, the peasants took not the slightest notice of him, and even left off answering his questions.
