learn_russianCan you explain the difference between these three verb pairs?
Оканчивать/Окончить
Заканчивать/Закончить
Кончать/Кончить
Оканчивать and кончать can both refer to graduation from school, yes? But what about the other meanings? Maybe I can't understand the differences because I'm not familiar with Russian prefixes.
Any explanations (and examples!) for their usage would be greatly appreciated. Thanks))

Я закончил работу в пять. I worked till five. (like today or yesterday or last Monday)
The verbs оканчивать\окончить are never used in any other meaning than graduate.
The verbs кончать\кончить apart from cum also have a slang meaning of kill.
Чего ты ждешь? Кончай его! What are you waiting for? Kill him!

Date: 2005-09-02 06:02 am (UTC)Btw, this has nothing to do with perversion or sexual hangups. The slang sense, like many other slang words, comes from prison lingo. See writings by Yuz Aleshkovsky, for instance.

Но это не будет частью русского языка.

Date: 2005-09-02 06:57 am (UTC)well, it's a kind of new language, language changes and not stays still.
in Soviet times there were no such meaning for the word кончить.
but it appeared about 10-15 years ago.
of course not only young people use it in such a meaning.
and because of such a new meaning people try to avoid using it in official speech not to provoke their listeners to think about something intimate :)
only concervative people of soviet mind use кончить in the meaning of закончить in their speech. that's why it sounds so funny for their listeners.
so when you speak russian it's always better to use закончить instead of кончить to be understood correctly. it's not a mistake of course but an ethical moment..
like a native speaker i see the difference :) it's always difficult not to smile when you hear the word кончить in the speech of university professor for example.
but pay attention that the word кончить is not a better word to describe orgasm. кончить is a kind of rude slang i think..

And as it has already been mentioned a few posts above, the connotations changed since the times of the Soviet Union. In this case, primary and secondary meanings swapped places...
