How do you say "It's not your business." or "It's none of your business" to someone who is meddling or trying to give you unwanted advice?  -- "Это не твое дело"  ??

Не твоё дело.

Тебя не касается.

Thanks

By the way, I always forget how to pronounce "дело" in the singular-- "dEla", right?

dElo

[sam-newberry.livejournal.com]

множ. - делА
единств. - дЕло

[asklepij.livejournal.com]

Right you are. If "o" isn't stressed, then it's pronounced like "a".

[l-i-b.livejournal.com]

Это не твоё дело ;-)

If you want to sound rude, say - "Это не твое собачье дело!"

I don't see anyone trashing anything here. This is a pun based on double meaning of the word "совет".

[oryx_and_crake]

I think that you misunderstand the joke completely.

[oryx_and_crake]

No, you started this discussion, now please be so kind as to explain your meaning. I still think you misunderstood this completely innocent joke.

[oryx_and_crake]

I am sorry but you are fantasizing. The joke has absolutely nothing to do with the break-up of USSR.

[oryx_and_crake]

Yes, indeed.

I am sorry but "You have forgotten to call" means "Ты забыл позвать".

In case you would like to look as a polite person, you may try to escape the unwanted conversation by saying: "Я предпочЁл бы не обсуждАть это с вАми" that means: I would prefer do not discuss it with you.
