Another slang words in Russian!

Hi there, or,

Здарова!

In this post, we are going to continue from the previous one, about Russian slang words!

But before, did you apply the slang words on the previous post, in your daily conversation?

If yes, then how does it feel? Do you feel like "Местные?"

Nevertheless, let's get down to the business!

1. Здарова!

(read: Zdarova) (meaning: Hi!)

This phrase has the same meaning like Привет, but it only applies when you really know somebody very-very well. It's like, you already became friend with your dude for a quite long time and there's nothing to hide anymore between you two.

But, do not try to use this phrase with somebody older, or somebody that you've just known for a seconds ago. Or else, they would have kicked your a*s. >:)

How does this phrase work? Let's take a look!

A: Здарова, братан, чё как дела? (zdarova, bratan, cho kak dela?)

В: здарова, лучше всех. Ты как? (zdarova, luchshe vsekh. Ti kak?)

А: Да у меня тоже, давай пойдем в мак. (Da u menya tozhe, davai paidem v mak)

meaning:

A: Hi/what's up, dude, how's it going?

B: Hi/whats up, better than ever. What about you?

A: Me too, let's go to Mac. (literally means McDonald )

How was it? We hope you understand what that word literally means! ;)

2. Да не особо

(read: Da nye osoba) (meaning: well, not really)

This phrase is actually means "well, not really" or "doesn't impress me that much".

How to use this phrase?

A: Слушай, ты реально часто прогуливаешь пары?

(Slushai, ti realno chasto progulivaesh pary?)

В: Да не особо часто, наоборот я очень любою ходить на пары.

(da nye osoba chasto, naoborot ya ochen lubly khodit na pary)

А: Да кого ты обманываешь!

(da kogo ti obmanivaesh!)

meaning:

A: Hey listen, do you skip classes for real?

B: Well, not really that often. In contrast, I really love attending the classes.

A: Are you kidding me?

Yes, no, maybe?

You just don't have any idea, how to properly understand this phrase.

It literally means, yes.

It literally means, no.

It also literally means, maybe!

What the heck? Just what does this local guy want from this conversation?!

Sample dialogue:

A: Ты считаешь себя умным человеком? (Ti schitaesh sebya umnim chelovekom?)

B: Да, нет, наверно! (Da, nyet, naverno!)

А: Честный, какой. (Chestniy, kakoi)

meaning:

A: Do you consider yourself as a smart person?

B: Yes, no, maybe!

A: Such a honest guy you are.

Roughly speaking, this phrase actually means 65% NO.

So, from now on, you should already now that this phrase is to negate or to deny something, with a little bit of confusion.

That is why, dear foreigners, make sure you're not confusing yourself when you talk!

Be confident in answering and in everything, kay?

2. НИЧЕГО СЕБЕ?!

A: Учи биологию. (uchi biologiyu)
