hi i am looking for a translation of the word "ovtsa" pls help thanks.

**FUBAR** · February 13th, 2006, 09:55 PM

I think it means sheep (овца).

**ReDSanchous** · February 13th, 2006, 10:01 PM

You're quite right! It means 'a sheep'. Unlike English, the plural of 'овца' is овцы in Russian.

ha ha ha . Hmmm. I got called a sheep then ...hmm are there any good russian insults that u know of , playful ones , not heavy ones.

**Indra** · February 14th, 2006, 02:25 PM

for a male:
esli ya ovtsa, to ty kozel
well... it's not much playful... depends on the context

**mooman** · February 14th, 2006, 04:23 PM

lol , help me out here im not going to call someone something before i get the english translation lol.....oh yeah and its for a female. Thanks all the same.

**Rtyom** · February 14th, 2006, 09:33 PM

It's not necesserally for women, mind that! Sometimes it truely used to insult a male person! Especially with adding some more colourful adjectives.

I guess that both Russian and English can have the whole zoo in the stock just to call someone an infuriating name.

**mooman** · February 14th, 2006, 10:09 PM

ok ok what about smartypants or wiseass or numbnut or doofus....these are all playful english , slightly sarcastic insults.....hey hey smartypants ....sheesh. How hard is it to get help around here ..lol

Didn't understand your word.

Watches... Books are much better. Movies are almost rubbish. However I looked only Night Watch.

**mooman** · February 15th, 2006, 03:39 PM

no problems man . By the way your last sentence would be . "however I have only watched night watch" Use watched rather than looked , watch is more a term you use for real time when things are moving ..u know things that happen instantly ...where look is more for things that are standing still ...that happen in an instant..... example u can look at a tv ......but u watch programs on tv .....you see what i mean

**Rtyom** · February 15th, 2006, 08:27 PM

Umm... Ahem... Heh... Thanks... Anyway.
