Soo, "the problem of the Russian language" is not that you can't translate English words into Russian but that Russian have many ways to translate them that are more context sensitive. Which makes Russian language more accurate. It's sounds to me that the video is mislabeled and should be called "Russian phrases that English can't deferentiate".

"to hang out" можно перевести и буквально - "зависать". "Давай зависнем" - "Let's hang out"

i wanted to say how helpful i have found your channel. started learning russian 2 years ago. this place has helped me stay motivated with easy to watch quick lessons that keep me inspired and wanting to learn more. ❤

I heard "it's impossible to have fun in Russia". I really enjoy the sentiment that you don't just leave things hanging in Russian like "let's do something" and in the end nothing gets done, you have to be active and decisive about it.

Tbh I think you can say "have fun" as "повеселитесь там!" but what Feodor suggested (хорошо вам провести время) is more default and formal.

I'm russian and recently caught myself at trying to say "good for you" in russian as an answer to "I have passed my exam", and at the time I came to "рад за тебя". It's funny that I chose English feeling in my mind and couldn't express it, I stumbled.

translating words is not translation, and the statement that something is "untranslatable" is sheer BS. Anything that can be said in one language can be said in another. And it's not about translating words.

Not too late to sign up for Fedor's summer Russian bootcamp! No, I'm not getting paid to say this. 😊

To hang out is a fairly recent addition to the spoken English language it really doesn't make sense but we all know what it means Loving the videos

You’re an amazing teacher. I love your style. Please keep doing everything that you are doing.

Great video. I love topics like this. I think you did one about the saying: “ I’m excited!” Which was helpful. Because I always wondered how to express that idea

How about “зависать” for hang out? Mы зависали в баре.

I am Russian American - grew up speaking Russian and English in California. A GREAT challenge for translation is to translate popular American rock n roll songs into Russian. For example the Stones - Ley's Spend the Night Together. I tried Billy Joel's "For the Longest Time" - I came up with "Na Vecki Vek". It's quite a challenge - ESPECIALLY to maintain the rhythm and sense of the song!!!

Big Guy Fedor, I signed up for your boot-camp course yesterday. I still have to finish the exam. I will do this today. 😀Cheburashka

0:16 - повесилиться. Sometimes оторваться or побеситься. 2:02 - желаю повесилиться or удачно оторваться

Мне очень нужно было эти фразы! Огромное спасибо Федору! Джессика Хартселл ❤

You are so awesome. Thank you for this! This is so important. These tools will be put to good use!

hang out = зависнуть

The word Тусова́ться is rarely used like this lately, with time it has transformed into shorter and more common Туси́ть. Words Тусо́вка and Ту́са are used like 50/50, depending on context, because they mean both a group of people and a party. Well, this sounds funny because party is exactly a gathering of invited people (partners) in the first place. But in Russian "тусовка" is a slang word so it's not used for political parties or romantic partnership, for those there's a formal word "па́ртия" borrowed from English as is. So here we come to an important conclusion - in English "party" means any gathering whether it's for serious business or just to idle, but "тусовка" means a gathering only to idle / celebrate / have fun, for serious stuff there are different words. Some examples of the slang usage: Можно у тебя потуси́ть немного? - Can I hang out at your place for a while? Зату́сим / Тусанë́м сегодня? - Shall we hang out today? Ну, чё, погнали туси́ть? - Ok, so, let's go hang out / have some fun? Приходи, у нас тут ту́са! - Come, we're having a party here! Здесь такая стрë́мная тусо́вка собралась, что я собираюсь свали́ть... - There's such a weird crowd here that I'm gonna leave... I've highlighted it, but remember, letter Ё is always stressed. картёжник - card player платёж - payment And don't forget to use the letter, because the meaning change can be huge, like for example: передохнём - we'll take a rest передо́хнем - we'll die out

You forgot the 3rd meaning of "to go out". Which is dating sm1 romantically...or go on a date. Ex. I've been going out with for 3 months now. As....I've been dating her .....

Good job and good info

Да лана, можно сказать "Повеселитесь там сегодня 😊".

Спасибо большое.

Думаю, что я мог бы заменить "have fun". Есть слово веселиться, но можно добавить приставку "по" ( [по]веселиться). Таким образом, если моя девушка уходит на мероприятие/вечеринку/встречу, то при прощании, я мог бы сказать "повеселитесь" или "желаю повеселиться". Что, по своей сути, полностью передает смысловую нагрузку фразы "have fun".

There is the classic question and answer sequence, of a mother to her son: "Where did you go?" "Out." "What did you do?" "Nothing." I wonder if that would even translate to Russian.

Более подходящее для русского в "makes sense" - это АРГУМЕНТ. Аля: "Аргумент. Убедил. Так и есть"

For a GREAT musical translation from English to Russian of a well known musical check out "CHICAGO". Get the sound track. Then find the Russian translated version done by Phillip Kirkorov. YOU WILL BE AMAZED!! The Russian singers he uses sound PRECISELY like the American singers. The fascinating part is many of the idioms in the words when translated into Russian ARE MORE ACCURATE and EXPRESSIVE!! When my wife found the translation online I listened to it and was TOTALLY AMAZED!!!!

А сказать "Повеселись"? Не пойдёт для have fun?

Thank you so much 👍❤😊

Well we can say "хорошо повеселиться", I don't.. really see anything wrong with that.. When she'll come back, I could ask "повеселились?". Like, that would not be something out of the ordinary

If Russian doesn’t “have fun” then “having fun” doesn’t exist.

Serious Learner here: It seems that the website link in the description is not taking me to the website. (Serious Learner - started learning about 2 years ago for my fiancée (and possible professional opportunities) and I am planning to try for the TRKI soonish.)

Can you translate: Surely, you can’t be serious. I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.

When you were discussing ‘have fun’ or ‘hang out’ I was expecting ‘гулять’ to be mentioned.

Hmmm, here I was thinking "to have fun" is untranslatable into German.

Let's hang out= давай потусуемся

I'd say тусоваться in the modern implication is a completely direct translation of "to hang out ". Or even "тусить", which is a second order slang.

I am having fun.... HeT.

Да можно сказать по-русски "повеселись там" вместо "have fun" в английском уходящей жене. В чем проблема?

What about "Fair enough"?

привет, видела твое видео про перевод тик токов янчика, но как насчет разбор русских мемов и шуток? я думаю, что иностранцам может быть интересно узнать больше о такой части русских

I don't know if it's the same in Russian or not,but in Arabic there are way more phrases to say "it doesn't make sense" than "it makes sense"

Do you know why U in English often becomes В in Russian? Like autobus > автобус, Europe > Европа, Australia > Австралия? Is it related to the Latin root?

Спасибо большое

Nah, the phrase "Давайте вместе проведём время" isn't one that was in my social circles. It feels more natural to suggest "Давайте (вместе) сходим куда-нибудь" - how about we go somewhere nice.

Я понимаю is how I say It makes sense. I guess I am not quite right. Thanks for the suggestions.

❤❤❤

And what about “развлекайся” for (have fun!) ?

Hang out - отрываться

Весели́ться🥳 Ви́селится💀

"Повеселись там" - плохой вариант?

Trying to translate an exact phrase word for word is a difficult exercise when the English phrase itself doesn't DIRECTLY mean what the words suggest, which is why it's better to use the closest match of the intended message. To "hang" means to suspend something with a rope or over an edge, and "out" is basically the opposite of "inside", so trying to translate the words "Let's hang out" directly is like saying "Let's go outside to hang or suspend ourselves with ropes", which would be a head scratcher. The intended message is "let's get together just to relax and/or not do anything in particular". One could then have fun trying to explain what "hang out" alludes to, like "being a couple of full sacks hanging in storage, not going anywhere or doing anything urgent or productive".

Going OUT OUT...

In Australia at least, "to go out" can also mean "to go on a date (with someone)" or "to be in a (romantic) relationship". I'm not sure if this meaning is used outside of Australia though.

Just thought of another. "Chill out"!! I'd love to hear the russian translation for that😂

чтобы повеселиться

Мне интересно будут ли у тебя уроки "уличного" русского. Например сокращения до "мож пойдём куда?". То есть максимально ленивая речь :D

1:30 сам виселица

Everything is easy to translate. Hope in comment below everything is solved

А в чём проблема сказать - Повеселись или повеселитесь..?

Fun doesn’t exist in Russia

So you can’t have fun in russia🤷🏾‍♂️, you are right, some things can’t be translated 🤦🏾‍♂️🫡

"Sovereignty of neighboring countries" is apparently a difficult thing to say or think in Russian.

Как сказать -сонскрин- на Русском

Kaifuit)

I have fan. В Москве жара

I just searched the term "running on empty" in russian. N I'm pretty sure the translation's not correct.

It seems so difficult to learn Russian 😢

My understanding is that expressions that cannot be directly translated are called IDIOMS. For example, "I am all ears" means "I am listening carefully" and it loses its intended meaning when translated.

Hang out ещё и "болтаться" как в "молодняк болтается у гаражей" - "the kids are hanging out in the garage", перевод естественно с поправкой на особенности быта и жилой застройки.

"I love NATO".

Can Russian's say "Our war on Ukraine is a crime against humanity for which we are all culpable" ... Maybe not though for reasons other than linguistics.

Putins troll We dont care

I have another one: "I surrender" or "My bad" or "I shouldn't have invaded sovereign country" or "I'm sorry"

❤❤❤
