Thread: Words

I would deeply appreciate translation to these words.
поел
догадался,
действительно

Thanks in advance. If any word is unclear due to lack of context I

(he) ate for a while, ate a little
(he) guessed
really, actually

“Поел” — (he) has eaten (edit: “he ate a little” is even better)

“догадался” — (he) surmised, guessed. In common words: to find the meaning/solution of something by one's own mind in conditions of lack of information without getting any help

“действительно” — really, indeed

срасибо большое

Поел can also mean, "I was eating, when etc.." right?

No, it is perfective, so the action was or is complete.

@Kamion: You're thinking of 'ел'.

Here are a few more words that I could use some help with:

Берите
попробую
шокировал
уклонистов
с тех пор

“Берите” — nehmen Sie

“попробую” — I will try (I will taste (about a meal))

“шокировал” — (I, he) horrified, shocked (somebody)

“уклонистов” (Genitive plural) — deviationist, a man who refused to serve in army or, in more common sense, who refused to do something necessary (look at the context)

“с тех пор” — since those times

I think.....

Берите – Брать – to take
я беру
ты берёшь
он берёт
мы берём
вы берёте
они берут > бер + и + те Formal imperative "Take!"

с тех пор, как – (ever) since
тот – тех (plural gen. of ‘that’)
пора- time, season

Thanks a lot Tu-160 and Mike. I think I got the story correct now
