Привет!
Решила сделать подарок парню - заказать майку с его фотографией и подписью. Парень живет в Сиднее. Так вот, что касается той самой подписи .......скажите как будет на автралийском сленге "самый сексуальный Сиднея" ну или "мачо Сиднея".
То есть смысл фразы "секс бомба" но для парня. Заранее благодарю за помощь!
Евочка.
Australian slang: DDT, this one is for you!
DDT has been corrupted by us Seppos. He has forgotten his mother tongue...Quote:

Dimitri, нужно было сделать нормальное многоточие и поставить дефис в слове "секс-бомба". Из синего правильно только запятая после частицы "то есть".
TATY, who would you pronounce "tsk"? :?
Like "tisk;" I'm not sure how you'd transliterate it in Russian though, maybe like "тыск?"Quote:

It is a T sound, but made by sucking in air, instead of ejecting air.
I think it's pretty much what you are saying Artyom.
Oh yes, thank you. I meant something like this. In Russian, there's a similar sound. We have the verb цокать for that.
Цокать языком, for example.
But it means not quite the same in ours.
Цокать Tsk :lol:Quote:

tsk! = цк!
Dimitri, I meant another цокать.
Like this:
Lol, what would you call that in English?
No, it isn't that sound either... keep trying :)
What sound are we looking for?
tsk
People say both "Цк" and "тыск", although the latter is less common.
I'd record it, but it'd just sound like microphone noise :).
I think Rtyom got it right.
А ну это да - цокать, но почему ты сказал, что это не выход говорить "цокать"?Quote:

This sound probably existed before writing did. Then people needed to write it down in certain contexts, so they came up with Tsk. Then people wrongly misidentified this and started trying to pronounce this "word", by the most natural way possible, of inserting a vowel. Giving "Tisk".
You are not supposed to SAY tisk, it is not a word. Well you can in descriptive contexts. Like, the word Howl, is the name for a sound. If you are talking to someone, you wouldn't say, "the dog made a [then you howl]", no, you use a word to express the sound. This is what tsk, and tut are for.
Saying "tisk tisk" is sort of ironic.
From Wiki:
"English does not have the dental click (or any click consonants, for that matter) as a phoneme. However, there is an interjection, written tsk or tsk-tsk, used to express commiseration, disapproval, or irritation"
Listen to Basuero's recording.
I don't know the history of the term "tsk" but I would disagree with you. Perhaps in the past it was NOT spoken or intended to be, but I assure you it is spoken in contemporary speech (maybe there is some regional usage variance here). I have most certainly heard it in use, as well as used it myself. Usually it's used in a sense of faux chastisement.Quote:

In this case, it's a) really an unimportant "failure" and it may b) be directed at someone who is a really goody-goody, for example.
Man, who thought that sounded like "tsk"? I suppose it is a little difficult to write.Quote:

In reality, if you really were angry with someone, you've make the noise, since it is an interjection, an ancient pre-language thing.
In a faux chastisement you are not really angry, it's not serious, this is when Tsk is prounced as a word.
It's like, if someone says something shocing to you, you might have a look of shock on your face or gasp.
But if you are expressing faux shock, you might say "Shock, horror!"
But you would never actually say "Shock, horror!" if you really were shocked.
I'm guessing the extra apostrophe there was intentional.Quote:

I certainly agree with you on the mock-use of 'tisk', though.
