Жук это не тоже самое что Змея и Крыса. Тут скорее про хитрого человека, со слегка негативным оттенком.

[@raulcrespo2193]

Many thanks Fleyk

[@Andrey_Gysev]

@@ambivalent5319 вообще змея и крыса не особо схожи, змея это человек что специально осознанно стравливает людей и пр. например, слухи распространяет. А крыса это просто предатель.

The positive way to call a woman big or fat in the US is to say "thicc" 😂

[@hhachatz]

I was called a goat some months ago. Now I know I was being insulted 🤣

[@agdgdgwngo]

@4:45 is so similar in English. We might say a big strong, stocky guy is a "bull of a man". But acting "bullishly" is like being assertive/aggressive.

[@joannab.2482]

It's interesting thing, because in Polish we also have verb "byczyć się" from noun "byk", but it has completely different meaning. We can translate it as "to laze" which is synonym for relaxing and doing nothing. It is used in colloquial speech and sometimes may sound rude. It is worth to keep this false friend in mind! Thanks a lot for that!

[@andreag2833]

my ex asked me what bird he would be, and i wanted to say he is definitely not a петух, because he wakes up so late, but instead i said he was definitely a петух. And I never saw someone that offended...

[@Elgrinn]

Корова - это не всегда крупная женщина, иногда так называют неуклюжую женщину. Как правило, так женщины зовут друг друга, мужчины редко оскорбляют женщин, особенно такими словами.

[@Weeboslav]

Funny,in Serbian,not that some of animal names are similar,but it's use as offence is similar as well. 1.Koza,used to offend female person(koza refers to female goats,male one would be "jarac"/"yarats/ and yes it can be used to offend men) 2.Ram is called "ovan"(ovca/ovtsa sheep) but there's also "brav" which is used to offend someone 3.Jelen(yelen) is not really used as offence,but there's rogonja(dude with horns)used to mock men who's been cheated by their wives. 4.Krava,same use,or better say,don't use it 5.Bik,same use,to describe someone strong,we have saying "jak k'o bik"(Strong as an ox) 6.Pjetao isn't really used to offend anyone(not to my knowledge)but we say peder to offend gay person,or straight... 7.We don't use woodpecker to offend anyone,but it's similarly called детлић/detlić(ћ/ć sound is like Italian ci,like in ciao).

Hello! thanks for another class!!! by the way, does calling someone a penguin in russian have some non-literal meaning too?

[@NanaNemu17]

Hi, I know it was a long time ago, but no, penguin is not that common animal in Russia, so there is no non-literal meaning to it.

[@johnneyalford4261]

Would you do one on animal noises? Such terms are not in dictionaries.

I learned Hungarian to be a Christian missionary. Of course we were not taught the rude words and phrases, I had to learn them from church members or people who did not have a moment to talk about Our Lord and Savior.

[@zeegh5867]

Awesome

[@AlexFG24]

Забыл про "овцу" и "осла". If a bad driver is a man called a козёл (goat), then a woman would be called a овца (sheep). Also called women who live off men. Осёл (donkey) I think this is international. This is a very stubborn person. Stubborn to stupidity

[@darrendunaway]

Quick question, totally unrelated. Since you are from Russia. Has Russia become more acceptable to the "old believers" ? We want to visit but not sure how we will be perceived wearing traditional dresses and sashmura. Any advice would be great!

[@user-lx9pi3et2v]

kristina xoxo it's doesn't matter what you wear here, especially in big cities like Moscow and Saint-Petersburg. This two cities are very open to everything. Many strange thing every day may become trendy, sometimes even in the strange way. And shashmura would look okay here. Nobody cares about other people's clothes

[@tr0ph1c]

I wanted to know what is the difference between "прости" and "извини". Wether it is a difference in usage, or anything else. I only know that both of them mean "sorry", at least that is what I think.

[@tr0ph1c]

At all? Thanks for replying)

[@Janesmmameood]

They both can be used to say "im sorry". Прости мне is like" forgive me" and извини мне is like "excuse me"

[@twinstwins5696]

this words are synonyms nowadays , but actually the meaning of words are pretty different: 1) извини - is consist of prefix ' из ' - that`s mean out and root of word ' вина ' that`n mean blame, so the person, who say извини, don`t really apologize, it`s more about request of not blaming this person for something, and really usefull in small talks and in social communications with plural official,polite form. 2)the word ' прости ' - comes from the origin ' просто ' that`s mean simple or ' простити - исцелить ' - to heal something or someone, so that word are more usefull in personal communications to make all more ' simple' or when person ask for apologizing(healing from blame and shame)

[@mihanich]

прости - forgive извини - excuse That's it.

[@tahtohabeautychanneltt5810]

Баран in Kurdish means the rain 😂

[@ethanspears7165]

I have noticed that козёл is the equivalent of a male goat, and коза is a female goat, so can a Russian man call an inconsiderate or rude woman "коза"? And by the way, why do Russians sometimes use animal names to call people names?

[@Tihokoton]

yeah, russian man can call rude woman “коза“

[@alexis9212]

Don't forget Шлюха (my spelling isn't the best and don't think there is a curse word dictionary to help me lol)

Шлюха isn't an animal name.

You guys use rooster "петух" as a derogative term to call gay men whereas a few, if not many, spanish cultures/speakers use the word duck "утка".
