Examples

• Том шу́тки ради купи́л Мэри юбку-хулу из пла́стиковой травы и ли́фчик из коко́совой скорлупы, на мгнове́ние забыв, что возмо́жности наде́ть э́тот я́ркий наря́д будут не́сколько ограничены.

  As a lark, Tom bought Mary a plastic-grass hula skirt and a coconut-shell bra, momentarily forgetting that her opportunities to wear this colourful get-up would be somewhat limited.
