      Вѣ́дамо, за даўнѣ́йшые ча́сы чаґу́нки ещэ́ не было́, да й шашэ́й ещэ́ не раби́ли;
      [Ве́дама, у даўне́йшыя часы́ чыгу́нкі яшчэ́ не было́, ды і шашу́ яшчэ́ не рабі́лі;]
      Vjédama, u daŭnjéjšyja časý čyhúnki jaščé nje byló, dy i šašú jaščé nje rabíli;
      It's known that, in earlier times, there were still no railways, and highways weren't built either;

      Бо тая шаша – яна толькі на тваёй карце шаша. Ім там у гугле здаецца, што калі на здымку са спадарожніка ў дарогі ёсць пачатак і канец, значыць, яна для легкавікоў. А насамрэч гэта выезджаны трактарамі і грузавікамі пясок на просецы.
      Bo taja šaša – jana tólʹki na tvajój karcje šaša. Im tam u huhlje zdajecca, što kali na zdymku sa spadaróžnika ŭ daróhi joscʹ pačatak i kanjec, značycʹ, jana dlja ljehkavikóŭ. A nasamreč heta vyjezdžany traktarami i hruzavikami pjasók na prósjecy.
      Because that so-called highway is only a highway on your map. They, at Google, think that if a satellite image shows that a road starts and ends somewhere, then it's suitable for cars. But in reality it's just sand on a forest lane, beaten down by tractors and trucks.
