'Times' in English is also restricted, when you think about it, although Russian seems to be more so. You did a great job (as always) and the examples really illustrate время/времена well. [BTW, news is singular in English;))] It’s interesting how some words are restricted to certain set phrases, and you don’t notice this until you try to make examples with them. ‘Times’ in English is also restricted, when you think about it, although Russian seems to be more so.

Great blog you have here! I remember telling my girlfriend not long ago that her babushka only talks about the bad times, never the good times she had in her youth: Боже, твоя бабушка рассказывает только о плохих и не о хороших временах в своей молодости! That's the first one that pops into my head. Keep up the great work! Hi Joesifina!
