ABSTRACT
На станциях он шутил со ‘At the stations he joked with the old старухами-продавщицами. women who were selling food.’
However, there are instances where this is not the case; these are:
• where the first component is a recent loan word:
в пресс-службе министра ‘in the minister’s press office’
particularly if its ending does not conform to Russian morphological norms:
Но мы не стали ди-джеями. ‘But we did not become DJs.’
