Thread: Вопрос: "С кем вы едите?"

I never use the verb 'воркать' either

Never used or never heard? Well, I use it rarely, but it sounds funny, that's why I remember it.

Yes, you're right, it sounds funny. I never either heard or used it.

Hello everybody!

чатится = to chat (I guess you already know that)

Hey, try to be literate and not to confuse those who study Russian. You've missed the soft sign (ь). You should have written "чатиться" (infinitive - неопределенная форма глагола). Though it's a slang word but nevertheless the principle should be abided.

By the way, I'm new here and this is my first post. So I would like to greet everyboby. My mother tongue or native language (I guess that is the same, wright?) is Russian. I learn English and hope this forum will help me. And, of course, I'll try to help fellows studying Russian as I can.

P.S. Sorry if I've made some stylistical or grammar errors.

Welcome Vadim! Don't be shy and ask us questions!

and then there's that little piece that ends something like

Пушкин спинует в гробу

But I forget where to find it. Prob ggl will help.

спинует

What does this word mean? I don't have a clue what it may mean...

sth connected to Puskin's back?

I think it comes from "to spin". Never heard it in Russian though. Most likely the author meant: "Пушкин перевернётся (or ворочается) в гробу"

Ok, I'm really confused. Was Сори just "sorry" written in Cyrillic..

Yes

Quite possible! Frankly, I thought that word was Russian I vaguely remember this phrase - ""Пушкин перевернётся (or ворочается) в гробу". Does it really exist?

I don't know if it exists about Pushkin but actually those kinds of allegories do exist. For example it could be said in the following context: "От такой постановки "Евгения Онегина" Пушкин наверное в гробу перевернулся".

In English it is used very often. "(name of person) is turning in his grave".

It seems to be "Runglish". A "language" of Russian immigrants in US. You can find a lot of weird verbs there. Лайкать, ранать, свимать, дринкать, чекать, юзать, спендать, эфордать... So on, so on. I personally consider it very bad Russian.

That was sorry written in Cyrillic, don't follow this practice, though. Use Russian words. Both "сорри" and "сори" are possible but Russians usually read double consonants longer, when they follow stressed syllables.

It's pertinent.

Using English words in Russian speech is a very distinctive feature for the students of Foreign Languages Departments of colleges and universities. Mostly, it concerns specific names for some language phenomena but they don't avoid using the words like those you mention. We (as I used to be the part of this mini-society) call it professional slang. I even know the word чекать very well.

Come on, are you kidding me?
Of course, such phrases exist and they are commonly used. It can be said about any famous writer or artist or other creative person that he "в гробу переворачивается (but not "ворочается"!) or перевернется, перевернулся etc. if somebody disgraces or discredits him by some incompetent amateur attempts somehow connected with that famous creative person.

P.S. Can somebody tell me how "pertinent" or "pertenant" is translated into Russian?
P.P.S. Oh, no need, I got it.
pertinent=подходящий, уместный, соответствующий

No, Vadim84, I wasn't kidding you in any way. I really forgot that phrase and was unable to remember it at the time. Now, after the numerous answers to this phrase, I have remembered it.

Vesh, you're right that using English words written in Russian is very bad. Still, I use some of them. For example, юзать, юзер.

LOL It's impossible, I'm illiterate Russian, everybody knows that and already accepted me as an illiterate. Welcome to the forum!
