Russian swearwords

[slim 1,514]

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.

I used a form of this word that I was accustomed to using for "private interactions" with a special lady friend of mine with a different lady friend, and needless to say, she wasn't too happy. She almost didn't want to have "private interactions" with me anymore after that but I saved it with the helicopter routine.

You should definitely "test the waters" with even your most intimate of acquaintances when it comes to using the foul language. Some, you'll find, use it as everyday conversation (taking it to the "art form" level) and others are appalled or insulted if you use it around them. And the last thing you want is for a special lady friend to be appalled or insulted right before you're about to have "private interactions."

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

This is just like Latin class all over again. And my teacher did her best to convince us, "Guys, you really are going to use this someday. Trust me." I should've paid more attention.

Somehow my quotes got all f'd up in there. Jason, ensure you're pointing the finger safely AWAY from Sasha if you're to drop the pizdonka bomb. Probably in the general direction of a rather "healthy" woman who doesn't have a clue what it is and has several obstacles in the way should she decide to stampede. Good luck!

Hahaha if you used what i'm thinking you used... Even as a foreigner if a guy used it, i would slap his face. My friend was interested in some guy and his friend used this word to describe his activities with girls... I told her not to date a guy who even associated with guys who used such language with ladies he just met.

I was being all cool with my "past knowledge" of Russian language updated with my recent book smarts and self-teachings. (Coupled with a recently increased sense of, "you da man!" among my buddies for being the only one able to talk to, and subsequently seal the deal with, Russian girls) And anyway, I actually invited a young lady to engage in "private interactions" (yes, it was the word you're thinking of) after dropping the standard "kak vas zavout?" followed by a quick "oochin priyatna, krasivaya" I leaned in for the kill, whispered softly in her ear, "Ya khachu ****** s'taboy"

The look that followed quickly had me in Matrix mode and I was ready to slow-mo duck back to avoid the five fingers to the face, "SLAP!" ("I'm Rick James, beeeitch!")

But, it never came. Instead she simply asked, "who teach you this words?" I didn't have the heart to tell her, or you guys, for that matter so I segued into something about how her hair smelled so wonderful (and not unlike cotton candy... how do they do that?) and how I'd only use "high class" words around a goddess such as herself from then on. After that, the room started to smell like bull$#!t, but she didn't seem to mind.

Hook, line, and sinker.

I learned a valuable lesson that day, and that is, you can't say it to her in the intro..... but if you're good boy, she'll be saying it to you later. (Yes, even that word!)

Interesting topic,

when I started learning english my first words were bad too. And my vocabulary hasnt exactly changed. How do you go about using those words in conversations with Russians?

I've been told that until you really have a grasp on Russian, you should avoid too much cursing. One person will laugh with you, another person will be gravely insulted, and it's often hard to tell who will be the laugher and who the insulter until you've called their mother a ballsucker. Definitely don't be the first to bring some мат into the conversation unless you know the people you're with very well.

I would probably laugh, but I do know old fashion people who wouldnt find it amusing. Haha

Are you asking how I would go about using Russian bad words in conversations with Russians or how I would use English bad words in conversations with with Russians?

It's very easy.

For drinking buddies, nice looking girls, family, etc. it's no big deal to throw a little mat into a toast or follow up a suggestive glance, complain about the weather and how we never call anymore, etc.

For hooligans on the street late at night, it's probably better to mix in some English words to throw them off long enough to run away from the mob.
