How do you say "spy" (male) in Russian? |
Travel Info How do you say "spy" (male) in Russian? Travel Tips There is a little subtlety here. If he is a foreign (unfriendly) spy, then it'll be 褕锌懈芯薪 (shpion, originated from French "espion"), as others have said. However, if it's your own guy, spying abroad, then Russians would call him "褉邪蟹胁械写褔懈泻" (razvedchik, which is equivalent to "intelligence officer"). For example, Americans called Rudolph Abel "a Soviet spy", but Russians would call him "小芯胁械褌褋泻懈泄 褉邪蟹胁械写褔懈泻" (Sovetskiy - razvedchik - Soviet Intelligence officer). The reason is that the word "褕锌懈芯薪" has some negative connotation in Russian and not applicable to a hero. Others shpion - 褕锌懈芯薪 褕锌懈芯薪 shpeeon, i lived there 12 years shpion -褕锌懈芯薪 I am a professional Russian Interpreter KGB this is what it is called but the changed it after to shpioon all answers are correct, but why should i lose my 2 point? spy - 褕锌懈芯薪- sh-pee-on good luck |
