🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Russia has a very high rate of fintech adoption (contactless payments, banking apps). Using this phrase often refers to being comfortable with these digital services. The phrase was a staple of Soviet industrial rhetoric, emphasizing the need for the USSR to surpass the West in technology. In Russia, there is a significant digital divide. Younger people often use this phrase to gently encourage their parents or grandparents to use modern tech. There is a constant debate in Russia about whether the school system 'идет в ногу со временем'. It's a common topic in talk shows and news.

🎯

Use 'Шагать' for Energy

If you want to sound more dynamic and enthusiastic, use 'шагать' (to stride) instead of 'идти'. It sounds more proactive.

⚠️

Watch the Case!

Don't say 'со времени'. It must be 'со временем' (Instrumental case). This is the most common error for C1 learners.

Yes, but it's more common for technology or general lifestyle. For fashion, 'в тренде' is more specific.

Absolutely. It is a very standard and respected idiom in academic and journalistic writing.

Because 'временем' starts with 'вр-', a consonant cluster. 'Со' makes it easier to pronounce.

No, that sounds strange. You can 'идти' (walk) or 'шагать' (stride), but not 'бежать' (run).

Not at all. It is used daily in modern Russian media and business.
