In Russian, the word "через" means "through" or "across."

You can find it in many common phrases. Here are three you might hear often:

1. через дорогу

   • This means "across the road."
   • For example: "Магазин находится через дорогу."
     (This translates to: The store is across the road.)

2. через месяц

   • This means "in a month."
   • For example: "Я уеду через месяц."
     (This translates to: I will leave in a month.)

3. через час

   • This means "in an hour."
   • For example: "Встреча начнётся через час."
     (This translates to: The meeting will start in an hour.)

These phrases show how "через" can talk about both space (like distance) and time in Russian.
