Thread: Body parts

Here are a few body parts.




Ножки = legs


губы = lips


волосы = hair


глаза = eyes


ухо = ear


руки = hands


нос = nose

Wow! That's a good way to learn it.

Whatever it takes.

I swear those are Kylie Minogue's lips

The first one doesn't help me learn anything. I just keep staring at the picture.

Crap!! I keep quizzing myself on these, and I keep getting all but the first one right:

Ножки = Dominatrix

-Fantom

I appologize DDT and fantom. The first picture was kinda fuzzy.
I think this picture is clearer.



Now THAT is a pair of Ножки!
колготки = stockings
ноги = feet
грудь = chest
лодыжка = ankle
колено = knee
локоть = elbow
обшлаг = wrist




лицо = face
улыбка = smile
лоб = forehead
брови = eyebrows
зубы = teeth
щека = cheek
подбородок = chin
шея = neck

Now study these words carefully! There will be a picture test next time. I don't want to show you a picture and see your faces with jaws hanging in wonderment.

wrist = запястье

обшлаг это деталь одежды (обшлаг рукавов)

ноздря - nostril

"Legs" = "ноги"
"Foot" = "ступня" or "стопа" (pl. "ступни", "стопы")
"Ножки" = "sexy legs", usually women's legs (or legs of a piece of furniture: ножки стола), don't you dare saying "ножки офицера полиции" (if she is not your wife) .

That's a little clearer picture, Kwatts, but now, how am I supposed to learn "соски?"

Thanks everybody for your input.
If I make any mistakes, please correct me.

I cannot seem to find the Russian word for "tongue".


mouth = рот
tongue = ??? (my dictionary says "язык")


abdomen,stomach,belly = живот
muscles = мускулы
waist = талия

tongue= язык
это правильно

muscle=мышца

So "язык" means both "tongue" and "language" depending on context.
What is the difference between "мышца" and "мускул"?

BTW: What does everybody think about these pictures?

Don`t forget about the `other bodyparts`, as they are an invaluable source for russki mat.
(I`m a girl and can not write then down here, my ex-Russian teacher would get a heart attack...)

Almost synonyms, but there is a difference

"Mускул" is more often used to emphasize function or strength or appearance of external visible muscles.
"Он напряг мускулы"
"Посмотри, какие мускулы на фотографии"
You can also use "мышцы" in the examples above.

In addition, "мышца" is used to indicate body tissue, or internal muscles, as a medical term.
"Доктор, я растянул себе мышцу", "сердечная мышца", "гладкая мышца". I would not use "мускул" here.

So in the picture above, the word "Mускул" is more appropriate?

Would these be considered "Ножки"?

Well, you could call it ножки, but you have to be ready to face consequences .

Are you strong enough?
