learn_russianAnyone wanna help me out and give some Russian curse words? I realize now that I can be polite in Russian, but I can't curse a person out. I can even do it in Japanese, and I don't speak Japanese as well as I speak Russian, which is sad lol. Thanks ^_^

It's funny when somebody asks about curse words there are dozens of people who'd like to help :)

Date: 2004-10-10 11:03 pm (UTC)Fuck - ебать
Fuck you - ёбты
Fuck off - отъебись
Shit - дерьмо
You suck - отсоси
There's no exact equivalents for "motherfucker" or "screw you" (ебать is definitely stronger).
Any other curses to translate?

Date: 2004-10-09 06:20 pm (UTC)I somehow got the impression that they are; in Russian it's opposite - you can swear using "бог", "черт", "дьявол" etc., as much as you like - and it won't be considered obscene, but rather old-fashioned and literary, while something like Owwwl has metioned above is absolutely taboo (that is, not exactly absolute *LOL* - only with children or women present and in formal situations).

Date: 2004-10-09 09:53 pm (UTC)It's words connected with sex or bodily functions that are stronger: fuck, shit, etc.
But English curse words really don't shock anyone anymore, even if the stronger ones still can't be said in the classroom or on primetime TV.

Date: 2004-10-10 11:18 pm (UTC)I dont think so, it's just a common hypocrisy. Must be inheritance of Soviet puritanism. When i watch "Sex & City" and hear "I'm fucked up" being translated as "Я озадачена" - i feel like i'm fucked up myself. Oh boy.

Date: 2004-10-10 08:22 am (UTC)You can watch a movie with original sound and then analyse Goblin's translation of those rough episodes.
Also Goblin nearly perfect translates meaning of any dialogue. So it seems to be useful not only for studing curse words.
