    Can someone explain this?

    I am trying to understand these two sentences.
    Google tell me the word is "flint"

    How would you translate this:

    ну ты кремень)
    да не кремень...вариантов нет

    Thanks, I appreciate the help!

    ну ты кремень)
    да не кремень.
    А что это значит по-русски? Что вы понимаете под словом кремень?
    А "flint" это, да, кремень - камень такой.

    P.S. Меньше слушайте, что вам говорит Google по поводу перевода.

    The first sentence is a set phrase that has the meaning "you are so strong!".
    Кремень here is used in the sense of "a hard solid rock/stone".
    "Ну" is a particle used to emphasize a sentence.

    The second sentence can be translated as "Not so strong... I just have no choice".
    Да here isn't "yes", but a conjunction "and", "but".
    "Вариантов нет" literally means "There are no options".

    "Ну ты кремень!" есть тут, примерно на отметке 2:10
