| meaning 2 | to like | Гуне
они совсем не понравились. И ответ на
конкретный вопрос тоже. И вообще
Бейбарсов Гломову ну очень не показался.
[Дмитрий Емец. Таня Гроттер и колодец Посейдона (2004)] Guna didn't like them at all. And the answer to a specific question too. And in general, Baybarsov didn’t seem very good to Glomov. [Dmitry Yemets. Tanya Grotter and the Well of Poseidon (2004)] |
