How do you translate the phrase "good gracious" into Russian? |
Travel Info Be truthful in your answer and you'll earn 10 points. If you're dishonest I'll send the Yahoo Answers Police to take you away. Travel Tips "Good gracious" is an idiomatic expression that does not have a direct translation into Russian. The closest would be something along those lines: 袚芯褋锌芯写懈! ("oh Lord!") [ `gospadi] 锌芯屑懈谢褍泄 袚芯褋锌芯写懈! ("for goodness' sake") [pa`miluy `gospadi] 斜芯卸械 屑芯泄 ("oh God") [`bozhe moi] Hope this helps. Others 褏芯褉芯褕械械 屑懈谢芯褋褌懈胁械泄褕械械 Those other two speak better Russian than I do. I would go with the third choice the second girl gave you. bozhe moi - That is what I would have said. It depends on what you are trying to say For example if you are trying to explain something and a phrase like 鈥淕oodness gracious! You鈥檝e grown so much鈥?you would say 鈥淏ozhenki鈥?or 鈥淏ozhe moi鈥? If you are trying to express surprise or shock for example 鈥淕oodness gracious! It鈥檚 freezing鈥?you might say 鈥?O Bozhe鈥?or 鈥渘ichego sebe鈥? 鈥淣ichego sebe鈥?is translated literally as 鈥渘othing in itself鈥?but it means about the same thing as 鈥淕oodness gracious鈥?when you are surprised. Nichego sebe is more appropriate between younger people. If you are in your 20s and talking to someone in their 60 or a mother type figure it鈥檚 not appropriate to say that. You can translate it as : magnificent - 胁械谢懈泻芯谢械锌薪褘泄 |
