Text in Russian: "Интонацию додумывай сама".
Text in English... I thought that this phrase just translate. I thought so, until it was time to do this translation. I had my first doubts when I saw that Google translated this phrase: "Intonation think out myself". I know English very poorly, but it seems that the word “myself” cannot stand here, there must be a word “yourself”. Or does this distinction not matter in this context? I consulted Google a few more times, and the result of our meetings were two translation options:

  • Intonation think out yourself
  • Come up with intonation yourself

This photo was taken in 2009 (I am sorting out my photo archive, and I have something to tell about this, but I plan to return to this topic a little later). People appeared on this photo by chance: I photographed the text. Similar posters (but with different text) were posted quite a lot throughout the city. The author of the project, Agon Noga, remained anonymous and is known only by this pseudonym. Photos of some works can be found in LiveJournal (agon_noga), some by searching for pictures. And sometimes you can find posters with these texts in Telegram.
