Thread: Мороз.

This seems a little odd to me. Do you think that there is a cultural connection between the Russian word 'мороз' and the English word 'morose'?

МОРОЗ, а (у), м.

1. То же, что холод (в 1 знач.). Продрогнуть на морозе. Пятнадцать градусов мороза. М. по коже (по спине) подирает или пошёл (о чувстве сильного холода или внезапного ужаса; разг.).

2. обычно мн. Очень холодная погода. Ударили морозы. Стоят морозы. М. крепчает.

• Мороз Красный нос в сказках: старик, олицетворяющий зимний мороз, стужу.

| уменьш. морозец, зца (зцу), м.

dark: showing a brooding ill humor; "a dark scowl"; "the proverbially dour New England Puritan"; "a glum, hopeless shrug"; "he sat in moody silence"; "a morose and unsociable manner"; "a saturnine, almost misanthropic young genius"- Bruce Bliven; "a sour temper"; "a sullen crowd"

I'm a summer person, anyways.

maybe there is a connection between lie and лай?
absolutly no connection what so ever.

Lie and Лай are pronunced the same but spelling wise are very different.

You may laugh at the suggestion of Мороз and Morose, where true or not, but word etymology is often like that.

E.g. the Russian word Семья shares it root with the English word Semen, Seminar, Semantics etc.

They come from the latin word for Seed.

just lookes to me like he found two words that looked similar. interesting fact about the seed tho...

It's funny , but I always was curious is there any connection between English morose and russian slang expressions "морозиться", "выпадать на мороз", etc.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with such silly ideas.

Hmm... So what does "выпадать на мороз" mean?

I became curious and that's what I found

Мерзкий - общеславянское; суффиксальное производное от мьрзыи «мерзкий, отвратительный». Того же корня, что мороз. Современное значение возникло на основе значения «холодный» в результате отражения в языке неприятного ощущения от холода. Мразь, действительно, производное от той же основы (с перегласовкой о / е), что мерзкий.

Unfortunately, it doesn't answer the original question...

Дед Мороз. Dead Morose.

Are they similar?

In language studies, we call these

E.g.

Друг

Да, по словам книги "Корни русского языка", этот корень - "се-". Дают слова "сеять", "семя", "сеть", и "сетка" как примеры. Насчёт латинский язык, я нашёл странную связь. Латинское слово "est" иногда значит "есть" как по-русски ("there is" по-английски), и латинское слово "esse" значит "быть" (to be) или "есть" (to eat).

Берегись! Есть много "ложных друзей". Нажми эту ссылку.

Umm... you asked for opinions... you

Меня зовут Макс, и девушки все хочят мой секс.
FYIW your siggy is all wrong. There is no such word as хочят in the Russian language -- I think you mean хотят. Also, I think Russians would actually use а and not и in this situation. And also, I'm quite sure that women don't want your "sex." Maybe you're х*й in some fantasy world...

Лол, все же, прикольная подпись.
