Thread: Words that I overheard but can't figure out what they mean

Lately I've been trying to listen to people speaking Russian and see if I recognize the words. These are the words I heard but can't understand:

Skazal
Rushka
Holodney
Kupit
Parotchke
Pakasha


Do any of these sound like an actual word?

Skazal -> said (Он сказал -> He said)

Rushka -> Would it be ручка? If so, means "pen".

Holodney -> Холодно? Means "cold".

Kupit -> Verb "to buy".

I'm not sure about the others, so I won't try.

Where does the stress fall in holodey? It could be хол[b]о[b]дный (cold, masculine adjective) or холодн[b]е[b]й (more cold, a comparative form).Parotchke - парочка. This is a diminutive form of пара, meaning a couple or a pair, depending on the context. Pakasha - doesn't really sound like a word. Perhaps "пока что"? It sounds somewhat like pakashta and means "so far", "at the time being", "still".

Yes, translocations, you're probably most correct My ears are yet untrained for Russian. Thank you for helping me figure it out . You too fabricio! And yes, it was probably rutchka and not rushka, it could sound awful alike.

New words I overheard today:

Pridelas
Natchenayet
Pry-dotat
Ognasha


These are the 4 I wrote, can you come up with anything for those?

Natchenayet — начина́ет [nə.ʨɪ.ˈna.ɪt] “he/she begins” (3rd person present tense of начина́ть (imperfect aspect) “to begin”)

Pridelas — ?
— (?) приде́лать [prɪ.ˈdʲe.ɫətʲ] — “to attach”
— (?) преде́ла [prɪ.ˈdʲe.ɫə] — genitive case of преде́л “limit”
— (?) проде́лась (проде́лось) [prɐ.ˈdʲe.ɫəsʲ] “it has been passed through” (fem. (or neut.) past tense of проде́ться (perfect aspect), продева́ться (imperfect aspect) “to be passed through”)

Pry-dotat, ognasha — ?

It would be more useful and more easy for us to guess if you would provide context or a full sentence in which you've heard these words.
