the twentieth-something Explanation: # -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2012-02-26 21:04:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It's the same difference as these two: She's twenty - she's 20. She's twenty something - she's anywhere from 20 to 29, but more likely from 21 to 25. Calling a country двадцать какое-то means it's not at the top of the list (any list), i.e. it's barely important. |
