Парнем меня не назовешь. Уже скоро 40. Но если я буду в, тречаться с девахой, то она будет называть меня своим парнем. Тоже момент.

Шла Саша по шоссе и сосала сушку - Попробуйте выговорить Ъуъ - попробуйте сказать это слово.

не знаю, лично я вспомнил Дракона Джейка (или как он называется), где его наставник тож постоянно юзал "юноша"

Это слово прямо выдает в нем то что он именно что пожилой, очень редко сейчас его употребляют помимо литературы.

Типичное обращение преподавателя к студенту :)

Idk, Max is quite wholesome

true

Абсолютно согласен

Lmao

Really funny situation!😆 Books differ.

you should have used "devushka"

@@billbauer9795 or «izvinite” lol

in Turkish we call uncle to elderly unknown men.

actually in russian дедушка means both grandpa and an elderly man, but Fyodor is right. for an elderly man in a neutral situation we'd better use мужчина than дедушка. i guess because it's just not really polite when referring to people to use words that denote their age. there is the same situation with women. people try to refer to them девушка (young woman) as long as it won't seem funny (30+ years old)

Is this true that calling a man Sir is considered to be insult?

Me too!

In pre-revolutionary Russia "Мужик" meant "a male peasant".

Ох, если покопаться, разных слов ещё вагон и маленькая тележка... юноша, юнец, подросток, салага, шкет, дядька, дядёк, дяхон, дяденька, дядечка, кент, штрих, фраер, тип, типок, дедок, старик, старикан, старпёр, братюня, братишка, брат, браток, брателло, братуха, друг, друган, товарищ, комрад, малой, мелкий, молодой, дружок, детина, верзила, бугай, шкаф, дрищ, дохляк, мужлан, мужичок, приятель, челик, папаша, батя, батяня, батенька, сынок, парниша и т.д.) Объяснять их все иностранцам не имеет никакого смысла, для общения достаточно вполне тех, что Федя назвал)

How do you show the difference between saying this is a young man and this is a boyfriend

@@nd264u7 In the context. "это мой (его/ее) парень" - boyfriend (implies a romantic relationship). "тот парень сказал мне..." - young man.

Thank you @@user-oj1od5kx5g

Помню как моя сестра обращалась к пенсионерке "девушка", а не женщина, объясняя это тем, что ей будет, возможно, приятно, что она типо выглядит так хорошо, что ее приняли за девушку. Ну, спасибо, что не за девочку хотя бы

Лучше всегда к пожилым женщинам/бабушкам/старушкам обращаться "девушка", для них это звучит приятно. У меня был случай в столовой, я попросил свою подругу/девушку отойти и пропустить бабушку что стояла сзади нас в очереди, так и сказал, - " Пропусти пожалуйста бабушку". Эта самая бабушка на меня накричала, что она мол ещё совсем не бабушка, хотя на вид ей было лет 60.

we have word «мачо» (basically macho from spanish) in russian too and it has exact same meaning and the word «мужик» is more about ordinary man in a conservative perspective, like a man who works by hard manual labour, he is the main one in his family, he is strong and brave, he drinks a lot of vodka, he can stay in banya for hours :) but i want to mention that if you call someone you don’t know «мужик», it may be offensive, because it can be read out as REALLY ordinary and simple man, like even villager, maybe a little bit of a dumb person but if you’re friends with this person you can say «мужик!» and it will be very respectful

Same in Russia

Well, мужик doesn't really have much to do with being sexually appealing, it usually refers to grown and hard working men who have seen life, have some experience and stuff. For example, when someone does something worthy of a man, we say "Woah you're the man!" - "Ну ты мужик!", it's a compliment when said to a young individual. When someone is trying too hard to look manly we also use words like macho)

Close, but not exactly the same. The word "muzhik" has, firstly, a larger scope, and secondly, it has a slightly different semantic image and historical context. In Imperial Russia (before the Revolution), the higher classes used this folksy word to refer to ordinary Russian adult peasant men (peasants made up more than 70% of the population), but not for themselves (about themselves, the Russian nobility in those days mostly liked to use foreign words). Sometimes word "muzhik" used by them disparagingly, but mostly neutrally or even respectfully to peasants (for instance in Russian classic literature "for patiently enduring all the hardships of dependent labor and serfdom"). The same is with Russian peasant women, the term "russkaya baba", who "can stop a galloping horse or can enter in burning hut" also gained notoriety (although the female word could also be associated with the Cossack woman). After the Revolution, the former peasants became mostly workers and collective farmers, or even party workers, and both terms became common in informal speech in all the people. After the collapse of the USSR, the word "muzhik" remained neutral or respectful, while most women began to take offense at the word "baba" (especial said to a woman or about a woman by a man), although they often use it among themselves in neutral context in a women's circle of close friends (like the N-word among African Americans).

We must not forget that both the English word "gentleman" and the Russian word "господин" (lord, master) come from aristocratic circles. In England today, the aristocracy is alive, and therefore the term is quite adequate. But in Russia, all aristocrats were deported or shot during the 1917 revolution and the subsequent civil War. Therefore, in Russia this term is very official and is perceived a little ironically in the circles of workers and intellectuals. However, the term "товарищ" has ceased to have an official status as well.

@@ethiop_frum The word "Товарищ" still has a place in Russia in the working environment. The "товарищ" occupies a special place in the Russian army. There, when communicating with people of different ranks and positions, they say "товарищ {Insert any rank here}". But the elders usually forget about it, and therefore it is used only by soldiers in relation to their superiors.

Не вижу в этом ничего оскорбительного

@@PsevdonimKanalaNahuy не знаю, возможно мне так повезло... Все мои родственницы за 60-70 оскорбляются, если их так хоть кто-то назовёт + меня как-то отчитала женщина на вид под 80 за такое обращение. Ну а с дедушками... Их в Краснодаре почти не встретить, поэтому не уверена. Из-за этого всего я говорю либо мужчина/женщина, либо просто "извините"

"сделал" comes from the verb "делать" which means to do or to make while "занимает" comes from the verb "занимать" which means to get someone else busy with something and the verb "заниматся" means to get busy with something.

если как в примере вы приедете в автосервис, то это не будет звучать оскорбительно. или же если вы обратитесь, например, к бармену в стиле "мужик, плесни мне свой самый клевый коктейль"

Literally, 'Sir' and 'Ma'am' are "Господин" и "Госпожа", but we almost never address them that way. If to a stranger, then a мужчина/женщина (if to young, then a парень/девушка) If to the superiors , then by name and patronymic. If the name is unknown, then we start the appeal with "извините". And in general, "извините" is the most popular and universal appeal.

@@Yaroslav_Rus Huh. Interesting. Thank you for the assistance.

@@jeffreylavallee1883 Пожалуйста!)

Обычно я ко всем обращаюсь на "извините..." 😂

пацан is slang-y word, ребята is totally "official" word

@@Cripalani ah I see, thank you! All these terms for boys/guys/men can be so confusing sometimes 😅

If a word begins with E (is the first letter of the word) it sounds like [YE]. (Если, Есть, Ехать, Европа...). In the middle of the word it sounds like Э especially if it's in the accent syllable. Sometimes it sounds [i] (like English E, just for comfortable pronouncing, if not accent syllable). Mispronounce of letter E in the middle of words is rather not a mistake. (If not accent syllable of course).

@FATHIYA NABILLA In fact, in the words that you write everything is fine and the sound "e" does not pronounced like "э" at all, but on the contrary softens the consonant "t". For example, if you put a real "э" instead of "e" in the word "тебя", then the sound "t" will become much harder, as in the word "квинтэссэнция" (quintessence) or in the abbreviation "ТЭЦ" (теплоэлектроцентраль or thermal power plant). The most suitable examples of what you are talking about when we write "e" and pronounce it as "э" (with a solid "t") are in the words "эстет" (aesthete), "текила" (tequila") "карате" (karate) and etc. which originally did not exist in the Russian language (unlike the pronoun "тебя") and in which the Latin letter "e" in a foreign version of the word outwardly similar to the Russian letter "e", but which also pronounced as a hard sound "э" in the context of this word. But such words are nothing more than exceptions to the rules and just borrowings from other languages.

@FATHIYA NABILLA All soft vowels "я", "e", "ё", "ю" (except "и" which pronounced the same) being after consonants (with the exception of "ц", "ж", "ш") convey their softness to consonants and themselves begin to sound closer to their hard pairs "а", "э", "о", "у". But if there is a soft sign "ь" between a vowel and a consonant in a word, as in the words "премьер" (premier) or "портьер" (portiere) then both sounds, a vowel and a consonant, will be soft. And if there is a hard sign "ъ" between them, as in the words "субъект" (subject) or "изъян" (flaw), then a consonant will be hard and a vowel will be soft.

@@MemoryOfTheAncestors спасибо

The words you listed are pronounced with E, not Э. Тебя (tebya), тебе (tebe), далеко (daleko).

I would say it is close in terms to - "buddy", coz in both languages it could be used to call pets. Its like less formal and more cute form of the world friend (друг)

Это несколько снисходительно.

Sometimes дружок can be used with negative context, in a sarcastic way.

В повседневном общении они практически не встречаются. Только в книгах в основном.

@@Yaroslav_Rus А сударь существительные Сударь и барин по-моему очень даже полезные слова и Пушкин, Достоевский, Гоголь, Чехов их использовали в своих текстах. Эти формулы обращений выражают культурность и цивилизованность. Но нынче при Путине уровень культуры и уровень мудрости у людей страны Путина нереально сильно опустился и упал. Куда люди страны Путина попали? К войне и убийству мирных людей. Удивляется в Финляндии.

@@adolfhuovinen2848 при чём тут Путин и культура? Слова сударь и барин ещё после 1917 стали не в почёте, как и всё классовое разделение людей. Сейчас эти слова остались в книгах. Да, они красивые, но вышедшие из обихода. На культуру никак не влияют.

@@Yaroslav_Rus А сударь, я написал свою первую научную работу the Master thesis на тему Формулы обращений в пьесах Чехова , Андреева и Горького в хельсинском университете и считаю, что то, как человек обращается к собеседнику отражает и культурность человека и всего общества. А что такие выражения как пацан, чел, чувак, пиздобол рассказывают о человеке и об обществе? По-моему, они отлично отражают нынешний уровень культуры и образование страны Путина. Они на дне, как крейсер Москва на дне Чёрного моря.

@@adolfhuovinen2848 для культурного недостаточно обращаться высокопарными словами. Напротив, пытаться перейти на политику, особенно вызывая собеседника на конфронтацию со своими политическими взглядами, использовать мат и притянутые за уши доводы- намного лучше открывают истинную "культуру" этого человека.

Мужчина is an absolutely normal neutral word, there's nothing wrong with using it. For example "Мужчина, у вас перчатка упала". The same is with the word женщина. Мужик is a completely different story, it can be a compliment and an insult, depending on the situation.

@bshthrasher The address "мужчина" or "женщина" may occur in life, but they are considered impolite, because they carry a biological name, not a social one. The problem began with the revolution, "сударь" and "сударыня", "господин" and "госпожа" left, an asexual "товарищ" appeared instead of them, he also disappeared with the fall of the USSR, and now we have a vacuum, a new social polite treatment has not yet taken root.

@@atompups, who told you that? lol As long as it's true, it's not impolite. Same with мальчик and девочка. There's nothing impolite in having a gender, everything has a gender in Russian language. By your logic the entire language is impolite.

@@bshthrasher if you speak Russian well enough, then type in a search engine, this is an endlessly discussed problem

Fella, pal

It depends on who you are for a young man.

naahhh bro, «мальчик» it’s only a little boy. well, only if ur a young lady, u can call ur boyfriend like that. «мой мальчик» it’s a cute form of «мой парень (my boyfriend)»

In general, you have understood correctly. But after the revolution of 1917, this word was often treated badly as an aristocratic one. "The sirs have all gone to Paris, but we are comrades." Now господин is a very formal address.

@@Yaroslav_Rus Thanks for this explanation!

@@SinsTenshi Пожалуйста)

​@@SinsTenshi ​ "Господин" is a word from Imperial Russia and, as Yaroslav correctly noted, it received a negative connotation after the October Revolution and the Civil War. Today, it is also practically not used in intra-Russian communication, even formally not often, it can only be mainly in relation to our (and another) president and to not ordinary foreigners (politicians, diplomats, big businessmen) in international communication, or in relation to Russian high-ranking or senior officials (but also mainly when translating foreign appeals to them, like mister, sir, senor, missier, herr, san, etc.) The most interesting, that the Soviet formal address "comrade" has also almost completely died out in modern Russian speech and remains only as a mandatory form of appeal in the army and police to higher commanders and officers.

@@MemoryOfTheAncestors большое спасибо! I love to know all those details, thanks for taking the time to explain all that 😊

It is informal, friendly variant of the name Artyom (Артём). Just someone's name. It can also be someone's patronimic if his father's name is Artëm

Its just smth between "handsome" and "beautiful", with the male form. Female form will be "красавица/красотка" Most likely u will use it to describe someone, not to call in person. Like if u say - "Hey, handsome", it will be - "Привет, красавчик/красавица".

it can also be used as praise. for example, you can say this to a friend when he quickly coped with a problem or did some trick. this can be said to any male who has done something cool in front of you

also мужик seems kind of like how Americans will sometimes call each other "bossman" lol

@@chaotic.content or chief

If you use the word old man or elderly person, in Russian it sounds a little dry. Grandpa is more friendly and respectful

Same in English

Подруга for girls

It's possible but not common.

They have a podcast called “ be fluent in russian” where as well as fedor just talking by himself, Victoria and him have Russian conversations weekly and they’ve done 16 so far. I watch it on Apple podcast so that’s a place you can find it (maybe there’s others).

Devochka, devushka, zhenshina, babushka

​@@billbauer9795 ну блять это и в переводчике можно найти

A devochka is a child. A devushka is a young woman from about 14 to 30 (The boundaries are conditional). A zhenshina - I think an elderly woman Babushka (or babulya/babul) is an old woman (This should be addressed only to those who have already come to terms with old age. It's almost always visible)

not quite. "мужчина" is a man, "женщина "is a woman, of any adult age. you can see addressing an older lady (бабушка) as "женщина" or even "девушка" like making her age not noticed.
