Thread: blackmail, full of

1. The situation has like this: The blackmailer took pictures of the President with his girlfriend on erotic moments and he is now blackmailing him that if he doesn't transfer to his off-shore account 2 millions he will send the photos to the the press.
I deny to believe that such rich language such as russians has only the word: угрожать to describe this act.
2. In his house he has a room full of toys for the children.
3. Also a client today wanted to ask if a house has contend (i.e. furnitures, doors). I think he used the word odelka or adelka or adetka
4. How to translate: A client is paying me a lot of mine to collect for him information about the real estate market.
- As you understand I want to avoid misunderstandings because there is also the expression: He is paying her to be with him (i.e. an old man a young woman)

1. Blackmail - usually it's шантаж (n), шантажировать (v).
2. Одна из комнат в его доме завалена детскими игрушками.
3. Отделка (implies walls, ceiling and flooring, and quality thereof)
4. Клиент много платит мне за информацию о недвижимости. (same word as suggested man-woman situation, but it's a neutral word and it is not supposed to cause misunderstanding)

3. Flats without "отделка" (квартиры без отделки)

1. Шантажист - тот, кто шантажирует
Есть ещё вымогатель - тот, кто вымогает (extortionist?) .
По мне, вымогатель и шантажист - это одно и то же

Or maybe not. Шантажист has ability to harm or mortify you. Вымогатель wants your money too, but he just uses his power, he has no discrediting evidences. Imagine a clerk, who refuse to give you some permission, but will give it immediately when receive good amount from you.
Set phase exists: "вымогать взятку".

Just to remember the verb: заваливать / завалить
