🇷🇺 Words which DO NOT EXIST in RUSSIAN: 🇷🇺
1️⃣ Make Love
2️⃣ Privacy
3️⃣ Have fun
4️⃣ Take Care
5️⃣ Efficiency
6️⃣ Challenge
The differences in language and literature—two significant products of a nation’s thought and psychology—demonstrate that English speakers and Russians are not very much alike. It is impossible to find precise Russian equivalents for the simple English word privacy, a concept that does not exist in Russian (nor in many other languages as well), other untranslatable words are above.

Travis Lee Bailey Travis Lee Bailey I am looking trying to understand Russia, despite atypical trollish behavior by some members of this community. Some people go through life with an extremely shallow understanding of the world. I am willing to ask tough questions to try and understand Russia. The problem with facebook is that the most worthless and meaningless posts like this one, get the same treatment as sincere constructive criticism of this authors and support of these authors as seen below.

Harold De Gauche Harold De Gauche Да, ся вообще означает не переходный глагол. Разветвляться, страна разветвлялась, или наверняка совершенный более подходящее тут подходит. И предприятие разветвляют в новое направление. Но куча исключения имеются. Бычиться крутой во всяком случае. Высокомерный, вычернный, надменный, все синонемы. But posh is still a little different. For instance, 'he's a bit posh' may have 0% of the perjorative. The Russian equivalents we've given, for me, contain a greater sense of derision and contemn the person in question a little more.

Janneta Janneta That's the point of this post, though. That there are certain words that don't have a direct translation into the other language. It's not that Russian people don't understand the concept of 'privacy,' but that there's many close translations and phrases to describe it in the Russian language, but no exact match to the English "privacy." 2 Hide or report this Love

Dasha Bundina Dasha Bundina Gavriel Heine yes, it's a bit more academic language. In conversations, you more likely to hear лично rather than приватно. Exception would be I guess приватный танец, приватный разговор that are used in day-to-day talks. Again, depending on whom you’re talking with mostly and what you’re reading. It’s quite advanced language, casual synonym is личный, лично, that is personal (ly) in English. Private and personal are quite similar words in English either, however, used in different collocations. I totally agree with that privacy isn’t a common word in daily speech. Nevertheless, reading or having a conversation over more abstract topic you encounter it as well as the concept of personal space physically, emotionally and mentally that the word means. 1 Hide or report this Like

I guess whoever who really have russian friends, real ones, have descovered how all those concepts have a real meaning and they are very deep inserted in their society. Of course every country, culture or language has a different Interpretation of them, because language= evolution, and it is adapted to new realities..... This post it's like ready that someone discovered that the sky is blue...... And why the source is understanding the new Russia?.... Maybe those words are now more present that ever.... Sometimes some books are like internet... The fact that they are printed and they can be sold on a shop doesn't mean that who wrote it made a deep research.

Tim Abram Tim Abram Elena Faleschini I think you're right that "challenge" in the sense of "stay at home challenge" or some social media video challenges cannot be neatly translated into Russian in one word. I agree that it is a combination of вызов (calling upon someone to do something), соревнование (competing against others), and испытание (a trial, a test, something difficult which has to be endured). "Challenge" in this context carries elements of all three Russian words. Therein lies the "challenge" of translation 🤔👍. 2 Hide or report this Like
