Thread: Сорри

I saw this on another forum.

Сорри, если это надо выкладывать где-то в другом месте.

Do Russians say cорри?

I think only when they want to sound "cool." It seems to me like when we Americans will randomly sprinkle in a bit of Spanish; I've seen plenty of people throw in a "gracias" or "dinero" or "yo quiero..." or whatever.

As well as Плииз (please) and Пипл (people) - it's a kind of slang.
Russians use many other words from many languages - like German Bitte schon/Danke schon, French Merci, Vuila and so on

I often say сори...just because I deal with English a lot and I got used to it...How can that make you cool anyway?

Better to say that it's a slang word than a "cool" one, probably. Just please don't say супер пупер!

We can say супер-дупер. You can say super duper as well.

Yes, of course, by all means say супер дупер. Just don't say супер пупер and it's all good! I suspect that the дупер somehow became corrupted in translation and became пупер, and therefore sounds absolutely ridiculous to an English speaker -- do I need to tell folks what "to poop" means? Then of course, there's always the legendary "pooper-scooper...."

Oh, firstly I mislooked the pun... Yeah... Pooper-scooper is funny in all the senses!

I never heard someone said супер-дупер.

In Russian, I don't think they do -- they say супер-пупер. Which is why I said I assume it was a corrupted form of супер-дупер. In the US, we typically say "super duper"; google this and compare with "Super pooper." Not only is it alot more frequent, I'm afraid to open some of those links for "super pooper!" Maybe I'm just a language imperialist, though, who makes faces like this at those whose expressions I don't like:

Well, judging by yandex some Russians say супер-дупер:

I tried google image search for super-pooper, it gave me just 4 pages of results and there were nothing so frightening on them ;)

да, используется - но как сленг в разговорной речи
это замусоренный русский язык

лучше говорить: простите или извините

To be honest, I don't think many americans over the age of 6 say "super duper" anymore. Maybe "super", but if anybody said "super duper" people would either look at you funny or laugh at you.

Also, the first time I heard a Russian say "супер-пупер" I thought it was pretty enjoyable

The standard web search brought up these titles on the first page (with alternate colored font goodness):
Super Pooper (superpooper) Review at Smut Inspector
SuperPooper - NSFW Reviews Super Pooper
Super Pooper - SuperPooper.com and other great Anal Sex Porn Sites

That's what I was referring to...

No probably not. I think that "back in the day" it used to be be used a bit more. I think generally it is used, as you said, by kiddies and when someone refers to a product of some sort, although even then, in a sort of ironical/mocking sense -- the kind of stuff the those idiot infomercial hacks sell. And there were of course the "Marks brothers" which included the great Mark "Super" Duper. Ah, the good old days, when the Dolphins had an offense...

And I promise you, it was NOT more amusing than having your grammar teacher say "супер пупер" about 100 times in one afternoon's class!
