Russian term or phrase: тоди
“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!
