Thread: Does Russian have an "Intensifier"

Like in English there is the "f word" which is used as an intensifier. What is the Russian equivalent?

Damn, I should have waited more. A couple of lurkers would have definetely explained you in length about certain 'intensifiers'

But is there a general one? Like one that is used the most.

Seriously though, I don't think it works the same way in Russian. We have б, х, п and е words and multitudes of derivatives due to polyformism. So it's more like picking from several possible options rather than use a universal one.

omg, please, clarify 'f-word' and 'intensifier'.

There is also "гребанный" which means something like 'damn, friggin.'

Are you serious? I asked what you meant because I did not know which б, х, п and е you were talking about.

F-word:F*ck
Intensifier: Makes sentence seem more intense.
Example: This is f*cking stupid.

I would recommend you to use д and г words.

Only knew two but I had no idea that they could be used as intensifiers.
Just because it is "mat" might not make it an intensifier either.

Just because it is the "f-word" might not make it an intensifier either You can use these words directly (with meanings) or for intensifying purposes.

Well, browse through this (offensive language)
