Why

A person who asks too many questions - often simply for the sake of the process of asking and communicating, rather than getting answers. When it comes to children, the word has a positive connotation; when an adult is called this, a shade of annoyance is added to this definition at a certain boring person who endlessly asks something and distracts your attention. With some stretch, this is how one can translate the name of the naive doctor who accompanied the famous detective Sherlock Holmes: What's on? - “Well, what else is there?”, “What’s going on?”, but there is simply no more or less stable analogue in common languages.

Diminutive suffixes

“Lyudochka, order us a car, we’ll go to the office and sign these documents so as not to delay the little man. The phone number is in the corner, and don’t forget the keys.” We hope your eyes didn’t bleed from such abundant use of diminutive suffixes.

But some people say exactly that! Usually these are the same people who love to “solve important issues.” They do not notice how they have turned into a lisping creature, although they could competently place accents in their speech.

Hedgehog in the fog

If you show foreigners a cartoon of the same name, they will scratch their heads for a long time and carefully ask clarifying questions. Cute little animals wander around in strange settings and ask questions of such a philosophical nature that it is simply impossible to give a definitive answer. Nevertheless, the cartoon is still loved by many generations, and the expression, depending on the context, can mean an absent-minded person or a person faced with an insoluble choice.

No, probably not

This phrase alone, depending on the intonation during verbal communication or different options for placing commas when writing, can simultaneously mean a positive answer to a question with a tinge of doubt, and a negative one - also not entirely unambiguous. And also - “no, why”, “no, I don’t know.” If you translate each of the words literally, you will get complete nonsense, but for a Russian-speaking person, none of the phrases will raise any questions. No, why not answer with an unambiguous statement or refusal? Because. This is another expression that can drive you crazy. Because.

About swearing

We won’t discuss obscene expressions, but everyone knows perfectly well that the same word can denote the whole gamut of emotions: from aggressive insult to outright admiration. Even the phrase “Vasya was here” is often replaced by Russians when writing with a short three-letter composition. That's why many simultaneous translators complain that translating films from English about supposedly swearing bad guys is downright boring. One word that is sadly used for every reason, denoting only sexual intercourse, and even then it is quite literary. No imagination. That's the case for some people. Quite why, no matter how you approach the issue from a purely aesthetic and moral point of view.

Back Next

Old New Year

I still haven’t gotten around to making a decision for many years now. Try using this phrase, which is completely understandable to you and me, to explain why the New Year is old again and why not drink too much about it again? We already used the “because” answer in the previous paragraph, so we need another option. Feet in hand and forward - at the same time, you can think about this expression and try to translate it. It turns out? Yes of course. This phrase, which contains two seemingly statements at once, nevertheless contains a negative answer. Not a language, but a complete puzzle.

Last time

This is simply the height of superstition, which has nothing to do with the rules of the Russian language. While pilots, cosmonauts and other extreme sports enthusiasts are still allowed such liberties, ordinary people are not. For them, each flight could be their last, so for peace of mind they called it the last.

But in ordinary life there is nothing shameful in the word “last”! Therefore, find at least a little courage within yourself to ask correctly next time: “Who is last in line?”
