معنی
Keeping up with news.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Soyuzpechat' (now often 'Pressa') kiosks are iconic small booths found near metro stations where people buy newspapers and magazines. Newspapers were often used as wrapping paper or for cleaning windows due to the high quality of the ink and scarcity of other materials. Free newspapers like 'Metro' are distributed at subway entrances, keeping the habit of 'читать газету' alive for commuters. There is a tradition of 'thick journals' and intellectual newspapers (like 'Literaturnaya Gazeta') that focus on culture rather than just news.
The '-у' Rule
Always remember that 'газета' changes to 'газету' when you are reading it. This is the most common mistake for beginners.
Metro Etiquette
If you see someone reading a newspaper in the metro, it's polite not to stare at their pages, though 'reading over the shoulder' is a common (if annoying) habit.
