Another troublesome word

[creepa.livejournal.com]

The last entry prompted me to write this. I've been wondering about a particular word for some time, in fact I'm not even sure it exists. I've tried looking in dictionaries, but my problem is I've never seen the word written down. My professor (in an elementary class, if that helps give context) would say this word while we were doing speaking exercises, one person answering her questions at a time, that sort of thing.

I'm no IPA expert, so the closest phonetic description I can give is: dye-sha. If I had to guess at a spelling, I'd say дайша but like I said, haven't been able to find trace of it anywhere. It's possible I misheard it over and over, but I'm really curious to see what it means (if anything) or what the true word is. On an additional level, I invented a character for a novel called Daisha, which is what originally pricked my ears to the word. ^^

I'm going to hope it isn't a curse word, as it was said almost every day in class. ;)

I think the word you mean is "дальше", which in this context would basically mean "go on, keep talking".

[apredeus.livejournal.com]

yep, I bet he means "dal'she"

[insaint.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. :)

Now we witness the same process that lead to the modern pronouncing of travailler and Marseille in French! ;))

[oryx_and_crake]

Can you give some context or an example of its usage?
I honestly cannot think of anything close.

[oryx_and_crake]

Yes, looks like it.

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Дальше (literally: farther; figurative: go on) - definitely so.

да (пиши) ещё ж)))

[kart.livejournal.com]

Might have been "да ещё", but "дальше" makes sense too.

Could someone please translate this word? Nizach0t
Thanks in advance!

It's a Russian LJ slang word, means approximately "what you said won't do as an answer", something like that. It is deliberately misspelt.
Its correct form would be "незачёт" - this is something you get when you do not pass a test. It is the opposite of "зачёт" (passed).

So there are Russian slang words specifically for LJ? This word Nizach0t, was in responce to a silly LJ quiz. Was it meant to be sarcastic or in fun?

Re: off-topic

[oryx_and_crake]

Yes, there definitely are. They are, as I said, deliberately misspelt, which is a part of their "slangness". Like "Афтар жжот" ("Автор жжёт" - literally "Author burns" meaning something like "Bravo", "Hear", "Way to go") or "Ниасилил" ("Не осилил" - "I could not read it to the end") etc. I believe there was a huge discussion here, a while ago (maybe a month ago), devoted especially to this kind of slang.

Actually these are not exactly LJ slang, they are rather Internet slang. The incorrect spelling can be only written, not heard, therefore these are only used in blogs and forums and such.

Thanks for your help! ))

Re: off-topic

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

To be more exact, the most of this kind of slang has been developed by the Udaff.Com (http://www.udaff.com/) community (warning: curse words!:)) in 2001-2003.

I thought that some of them originated in Fido (for those who don't know, it was a peer-to-peer global network, predecessor of the WorldWideWeb) much, much earlier.

Re: off-topic

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... if so, I must have been in a wrong Fido :) Though I've never been reading anything but su.music.jazz and ru.sf.news there.

A good article (http://speakrus.ru/gg/microprosa_erratica-1.htm) on Padonki slang (and "erratic" Russian Web slangs in general.)

This site is definitely more than just curse words:| Blush!

[mithgol.livejournal.com]

Knowing the origin, most of these intentionally perverted words are considered derogatory by some (more sane) Russian LJ users (me included). Derogatory both to person and to Russian language.

[noser.livejournal.com]

sane -> uptight

[serendipityone.livejournal.com]

Perverted words and bad slang is distasteful in any language on the whole :) Would you believe this same person (immature teenager apparently) posted a second comment? The word is zach0t. I simply deleted the comment from my journal.

Я считаю их язык противорусским.

[mithgol.livejournal.com]

I am inclined to think that their “language” is anti-Russian. Someone started a campaign hostile to traditional Russian culture, language, orthography, moral values.

I'm glad that you deleted that comment.

Once (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=tyv)tyv (http://www.livejournal.com/users/tyv/) created a set of disclaimers (http://tyv.name/action/) to demonstrate that udaff.com-slang is not welcome.

I used one of his buttons. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mithgol/384078.html) And I ban афтар-speaking users, deleteing all their comments in my journal.
