| La nuit tombe très tôt en hiver // The night falls very early in the winter. |
Curiously, in Russian the night doesn’t fall, as it does in English and, it seems, in French as well. It normally descends (спускается, опускается) or advances, military-fashion (наступает). Sure, you can find mentions of the night falling (падает), but it not that common.
Maybe it’s because we are from the North, and our sun doesn’t move so fast.
