Russian swearwords

[mawilson 2,133]

Let's see what I've learned so far.

Hui = #######

Pizda = C*nt

Huyovi = Very bad

Pizdati = Very good

So far, so good (a language invented by men, no doubt!)

However, what's the story with "ohuitelni"? (Also means "very good"?)

Studying the Мат are we?

That's right. It's fascinating.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Absolutely agree with you. Remember the first rule. Curse in threes.

Ask Slim's wife. Seems she knows them all.....and uses them liberally.

She lives with Slim. She's got to be some kind of curse-word guru by now.

[mawilson 2,133]

Ok, here's a few more derivatives:

"pizdets!" = exclamation ("everything's f*cked!")

"pizdoon" = someone who talks too much (or lies repeatedly)

Post your favorites here!

We only use those words in polite company. The rest of the time our mouths are "clean and pure tight." You guys will find some very interesting uses for both languages that usually have nothing to do with the original words but will be funny for you. For instance, I was picking my nose one day and said, "Kazooleeeka." The word for booger is actually kazookha so it was quite funny for my wife who had no idea what I was trying to say until I picked my nose for several minutes to illustrate my point. (And to look for another kazooleeka.)

I've also added a nice "onka" onto the end of some of the more choice words in Russian Mat to emphasize the size/severity of the matter.

Try this one on for size: Pizdonka!

"Ohuienniy" i generally translate as effin' awesome.

One thing to keep in mind for those who want to learn mat is that it is much stronger than english swear words and many foreigners don't realize it. It's more ok for men to use it than women, but still the ONLY people who have used it in conversations with me are my american friends. It's different for males, but it's something to keep in mind.

A good root that hasn't been mentioned yet is "ebat'"... With different prefixes you can express everything from forgetting your keys to totally beating someone up to a way to answer kak dela.

Мат is a Russian art form!

I'll have to try to remember this. Though, I think Sasha will smack me if I do this.

My understanding is that prefixes in Russian and other Slavic languages are not unlike

phrasal verbs in English.

For example,

"go" = hodit (Russian), chodzić (Polish)

"go around" = obhodit (Russian), obchodzić (Polish)

"go across" = perehodit (Russian), przechodzić (Polish)

"go through" = prohodit (Russian), przechodzić (Polish)

"go/come in (?)" = prihodit (Russian), przychodzić (Polish)

ob- = round/circum-, stoyat = stand

ob-stoyat-elstvo -> circum-stance

I have no idea what phrasal verbs are, but russian is nothing without its suffixes and prefixes. Anyway, you've posted examples of MOTION prefixes, but there's other uses too.

I actually just learned that this week, and it blew my mind. She said English is a "technical" language, which means that actions and context are built through words. (to which I thought...well duh!) But Russian is a something-else language (can't remember what she called it), where meanings (such as motion) are built through prefixes and suffixes. It makes a helluva lot of sense now. Whereas the language was sounding like caveman speak to me before ("you go house."), I see now that instead of all those extra words we use to drill down to the specifics, they just throw a prefix or a suffix on. Very froody!

Unfortunately that means we've moved on to cases. Sweet jesus on a Popsicle stick, that is some crazy, crazy shite.

Anyway, back to the swearing, govnyuki.
