Russkii Mat

[lovimoment.livejournal.com]

A friend of mine is shocked that I don't know how to say "It's f***ing cold," (which it's not, by the way).

How does one learn to cuss properly in Russian?

From my boyfriend and his friends. Haha.

Really, though... not here, obviously, but if you contact any young guys I'm sure you would learn quickly.

I think getting drunk on cheap vodka with some backwoods construction workers would do well. Alternately, there's the tongue-in-cheek http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0452277450/ref=sr_11_1/104-4480492-1343950?%5Fencoding=UTF8

I know it's prudish, but Russian cussing really gets on my nerves because it's oftentimes so insipid in actual practice ("khui" 5 times in a sentence with no clear meaning). Oh well, blyad, my loss, nakhui.

a friend of mine gave me a copy of his "learn to swear in russian" cd. I haven't listened to it extensively, but I'm told it is extensive in its coverage. I think its basically a bunch of recordings some guy made with his Russian friends.

You should be aware that the obscenity level of Russian мат is much higher than of English "fuck" and variations thereof. I would be extremely shocked if any of my friends would use any of the expressions people gave you in this thread. (In man-to-man talk, maybe; but DEFINITELY NOT from a woman if you don't want to give people a totally wrong idea about you.) By the way, this friend of yours who was surprised that you cannot curse in Russian - is it a man or a woman and are they Russian? (I would guess not.)

I know that, as a foreign woman, I get away with more Russkii mat than a Russian woman, but nonetheless, my Russian friends would give no more than a smirk if I used those phrases.

You underestimate the obsenity level of English cusswords.

No, I never swear in Russian (which is why I don't know how to), and almost never in English.

And no, the friend is not Russian. If he were, he would understand why I don't know how. :) It's the Europeans who don't understand why I don't know how to curse in Russian, and why it's almost better not to know. It's much more acceptable in Western Europe for women to curse.

The way I'd love to hear it: "мороз невъебленный!".
But that's a bit too intellectual, I guess.
Just "блядский холод" may work.

oryx_and_crake is absolutely, completely and positively right. "It's f***ing cold" would be equal to "чертовски холодно" at most, and would never even dream to approach the strength of what the folks have been suggesting in the comments above.

Actually, normal people of your age and older almost never use cuss words in Russian, and definitely never use 'em loud in public.

that is to say that younger ones do? ;)

Try the site http://damn.ru . The cussings there are machine-generated, but sometimes just fucking great!

Ох блять, опиздинительно холодно, даже хуй замёрз!

Собачий холод. IMHO even "чертовски холодно" sounds a bit elevated.

[papa-lodbrok.livejournal.com]

best answer is

Мне похуй мороз
Я в Сибире рос

means

i fucked frost
I was born ib Siberia

(frozen) :-E

[ekeme-ndiba.livejournal.com]

Doncha know Сибирь is a feminine noun, so it's в Сибири.

I am sorry - do you mind if I freeze this thread now? I think you have received enough answers, and the nature of your question is such that people are already joining the thread just to swear, for the fun of saying some obscenities aloud - not to add anything meaningful to the discussion.

(frozen) Re: moderatorial

[lovimoment.livejournal.com]

That would be fine. If it's no longer constructive and you don't feel people are being mature about it, there's not much point.
