    Busja (name?), I stole your lighter. I am sorry. I will give it back to you tomorrow. Good Night!

    She used a really bad word for "to steal"

    She took your lighter, and promise to return it tomorrow.

    The word Busja (Буся) is like Kitty or Pussy. It is very funny name for a cat or another pet.

    The word spizdila is very-very bed and very rude. But it is very positive in this context. If your friend cat say you such words. Then she more then friend to you
    Please, can You correct, if I have made mistakes.

    Hhhhmmmmmmmmmmm

    Now this confuses me.

    Ok she is my girlfriend of 2 months but I have not seen her this week.

    She always texts me in English so I now think that this text was meant for someone else

    She told me earlier she had been helping a female friend to move house in the day.

    Does this change the context of the message and should I be concerned that this text may not be so innocent?


    I feel paranoid now lol.

    No she does not and never has done plus I don't smoke or have a lighter

    It's hard to understand the different context of the same sentence as it can mean different things.

    Could this message have been sent to a girl?

    well, then it was meant for somebody else, but the message isn't flirtatious. she probably used spizdit for comedy effect as it is a bit бандитский жаргон and busya because its her friend. wait and see what a russian girl thinks

    It is for Busja.

    It seems be woman's (or cat's) name.

    I don't think you have any reasons to be jealous. For the time being.
    That message didn't contain any flirt or anything except she has taken the lighter from Busjya. I'm inclined to think that it was addressed to a girl because no man would tolerate the nick Busjya or so I think
    Send me a PM if you need me.

    Do you really want to learn Belarusian?
    Almost all Belarusians speak Russian and more of then cannot speak Belarusian.

    It is better for practical use to spend time to learn Russian.

    The SMS was in Russian.

    So if you really want learn Belarusian :
