👉 Saying: Ездить в Ту́лу со свои́м самова́ром.
👉 Literal translation: To travel to Tula with your own samovar.
👉 English Equivalent/Meaning: To carry coals to Newcastle. To do something redundant, unnecessary, or pointless by bringing or providing something to a place that already has plenty of it.

Origin:
Tula is a Russian city famous historically as a major center for manufacturing metal goods, especially samovars (traditional metal containers used to heat water for tea). Bringing your own samovar to Tula is like bringing water to the ocean; the city is already full of them.

Where in the world is this?! 🌋

This remote peninsula has over 160 volcanoes, some still active, alongside geysers, hot springs, and roaming brown bears. 🐻 There are barely any roads — most of it is only reachable by helicopter or boat.

Can you guess which country this volcanic peninsula belongs to? Comment below! 👇

You've learned the slang. You've decoded the menu. You've figured out what to wear. Now let's talk about the stuff on your desk. 💻📱

Even everyday objects don't translate the same across borders. The word for "computer" changes. So does "pen" — and one of them is literally a brand name that took over a whole country's vocabulary.

We put Spain 🇪🇸, Mexico 🇲🇽, and Argentina 🇦🇷 head to head on the tech and everyday objects you use without thinking — until you're in the wrong country. 😅

This is Part 4 of our Same Spanish. Different Worlds. series. Missed the earlier ones? Start from the beginning — Common Expressions, Food & Drinks, and Clothing are all waiting. 👀
