A person is explaining others how behave themselves when they are visiting other people.
To make the explanation more real he asks to the "audience" : Кто засбоит хозяйством ?
However asking "Who is the master of the property" it is a rather complecated way of asking "Who wants to act as the owner / the person we visit?", my problem is with the word "засбоит", that is in the web but not in any dictionary. What does it mean? Thanks
it would be называется. Who is called proprietor?. (?)
There is word "засбоит" in colloquial Russian but it does not fit the situation at all (it means "will start halting" - about some machinery). Looks like something was confused but I can not guess what exactly.
Thanks; finally I hope to find the right "set of words" :).
Could it be "Кто заведует хозяйством"? (Who is in charge of the household?)Quote:

Thank you. Yes, it fits perfectly. By the way it serves to my to remember words like заведующий отделом, кафедрой. Nulla dies sine linea. Thanks again.
