Thread: Разговорник

Кто-нибудь знает, как будет "разговорник" по-английски?

It is something like a small book you take with you when abroad to be able to communicate.
It has words, phrases in a native language, in a second language and transcription.

Yeah, definitely a phrasebook.

"Разговорник"? Doesn't that mean something like "a one-off speaker"? Love it.

"форточка" seems to be a small window. Меншое окно.

a one-off speaker?
have no idea what it means!
вообще не представляю, что это могло бы означать!

It wouldn't be clear out-of-context in English, but I could also say "somebody who only needs to speak a language for a short time". Somebody who isn't going to study it thoroughly and learn to speak it properly.

It's not important.

не меньшое, а маленькое

я понимаю, но просто хочется знать про форточку!

Мне кажется, что можно сказать "fortochka":

Просто найди это слово на странице комбинацией Ctrl + F.

that is just the transliteration of the word, because in the english-speaking countries, they don't have a word for such a window. They just call it a small window... maybe a ventilating window.

Nobody would understand 'fortochka'

I agree it's a lacuna. As a transaltor, I wouldn't use this word. But this is a way to render exotisms.

I think "ventilating window" covers it nicely, KV.

Разговарвать = to talk to someone, to have a conversation.

I see. Thanks.

это как раз переводчик, а не словарь. онлайн-переводчик
на твои вопросы - так тоже можно говорить, ничего не нарушается

Dmitri, It's a hint, native people don't always appreciate other people correcting their native language... As I duly have experienced
