Thread: Thanksgiving in Russian

Ok guys, I am inventing a new word for Thanksgiving. I want your opinions on it, I also added netsurfers variation. Which word is cooler, soothes your eyes the most?

I like yours kalinka

I HEART BIANCCA

I went with Netsurfers' word because it rolls off the tounge easier........and because he is going to give me 10 bucks

Aha!

I think i'm going to have to go for the original one... sorry, but the one you invented just sounds.. trendy?

i would invent "благодавание"

As long as it's not благовставление

Actually that was exactly the word net surfer invented originally. But kalinka_vinnie either mistyped (misprinted) it or was just inattentive.

kalinka_vinnie, how could you do that? And as far as the poll concerned, I'd prefer the official translation or netsurfer's new translation, I'm afraid. At least they have some sense. Sorry :P

Хе-хе, чему мы учим иностранцев!

Edited:
I'm sorry, I proved inattentive as well
The original net surfer's word was "спасибодавание"

Такой праздник испортили )))...

I have voted in favor of the original version. What's the use of inventing new ways of saying Russian words? I don't mind variations but the phrases in the poll seem to make no sense... Is it just for fun?

Yeah what the &*^%!!!
kalinka_vinnie, my version was:

This poll is unfair!!! kalinka_vinnie, shame on you! :P

PS: Vadim84, thank you!

As far as I understand the word 'давение' is derived from the word давать, right? That's funny Дав(л)ение благ

Shh, nobody should know it!

Hehe... Hi, netsurfer! Umm... well... look! a bird!

Ok, so I screwed up your word. So sew me (please don't)! Unfortunately, I can't edit it

Anyway, you guys are too conservative! Why not invent better, shorter and more interesting words for rigid, boring and too literal constructions! It's not like it is rude or slang!

I can suggest a few: ПЖ, КЦ, КУ

No, wait... They've been already invented

КЮ!

пиплы, "благовставление" really funny
голосую за этот вариант руками и ногами

Nice try! But we, Russians, won't buy such cheap tricks, right, net surfer?

You see, your construction doesn't make much sense, believe me
Why do you, Americans, always want to shorten and abbreviate things?! Are you so lazy that it's impossible for you to pronounce long words and phrases like "День благодарения"? :P


P.S. Please don't be offended, I'm just joking (as I always am )

"давение" can be not only a misprint of the newly invented slang word "давание", but it also can be a misprint of the normal word "дарение"

kalinka_vinnie, how do you do that? I mean, how do you manage to make such ambiguous misprints? Teach me!

КЮ!

Guys, what are you talking about?
