тоди

Russian to English Social Sciences Anthropology
“У иного не то, што ён хочет сглазить, а у иного такой глаз. Вот… женщина у нас тута… зять пойдё за рыбой, как ёна увидит, што поехали – ни рыбины. Ёна не видит – рыбы привезут. Такой глаз у ей. Галька вон ёна не потому што там поглядела, што худой глаз, што бы ей рыбы не наловили, а у ей такой глаз вот… Поехали тоди… зять со внуком зашли к ней, чево-то надо было взять: “Миша, а вы куды?” “А рыбы ловить”. Ну и ничево не поймали. Без её, а тоди она не видела, поехали, четыре штуки поймали щуки. Дак это зять грит, штобы приехать, штоб ёна не знала. Такой глаз у ей. Ёна ить не хочет, штобы там не наловили. Так получается”
I understand that this is dialect. Most of it I can figure out. But what is тоди supposed to mean?
Thanks!

different translation of тоди Поехали тоди - went once
а тоди она не видела - she could not see at that time
Vanda Nissen Sep 25, 2008:
no, it does not:= Dear Mariusz, apart from a standard Russian we do have dialects, there are 2 large groups - Northen Russian dialects and Southern Russian dialects. Some features tell me that this particular text was recorded in one of the northern Russian districts - you see, people living in such areas as Murmansk, Republic of Karelia instead of o pronounce ё, for example ён, ёна etc.

Period and location I would appreciate a comment from colleagues who are native Russian speakers - it doesn't look to me like a standard Russian. Could anyone please locate it regarding the period and geographical area?
