In Russian, a coward is called a 'wet chicken'? |
Travel Info I read in a book last year that in the Russian language, a coward is sometimes called a 'wet chicken'. Is this true? How do you say this in Russian (Cyrillic)? Is this a phrase that is used by people in Russia, or is it just something everyone knows but don't really use? Thanks! Tracy. Travel Tips Here, I got something for you. I am a Rusian myself, and I think that the expression does not purely apply to a coward, but rather to someone who is m i s e r a b l e. I hope you can read the following in Russian: 袦芯泻褉邪褟 泻褍褉懈褑邪 (锌褉械蟹褉) - 1) 芯 卸邪谢泻芯屑, 斜械褋锌芯屑芯褖薪芯屑 薪邪 胁懈写 褔械谢芯胁械泻械; 2) 芯 斜械蟹胁芯谢褜薪芯屑, 斜械蟹褘薪懈褑懈邪褌懈胁薪芯屑, 斜械褋褏邪褉邪泻褌械褉薪芯屑 褔械谢芯胁械泻械. 袨斜芯褉芯褌 - 褔邪褋褌褜 锌芯褋谢芯胁懈褑褘 屑芯泻褉邪褟 泻褍褉懈褑邪, 邪 褌芯卸械 锌械褌褍褕懈褌褋褟. 袩褉褟屑芯械 蟹薪邪褔械薪懈械 锌褉芯蟹褉邪褔薪芯: 胁懈写 泻褍褉懈褑褘, 锌芯锌邪胁褕械泄 锌芯写 写芯卸写褜, 卸邪谢芯泻 懈 薪械锌褉懈谐谢褟写械薪. Others we do use this idiom sometimes (not too often though). We say it "屑芯泻褉邪褟 泻褍褉懈褑邪". Nowadays there's tons of sleng words for a coward to be called. I am a professional Russian translator As I know they call such people "trus" ( sorry, my computer does not recognize Cyrillic),it means a rabbit. Svetlana's answer is great - the meaning of 屑芯泻褉邪褟 泻褍褉懈褑邪 is absolutely correct. But the word COWARD which is 褌褉褍褋 in Russian DOESN'T MEAN "RABBIT". It means coward and nothing else. We don't use the word 褌褉褍褋 very often though. We usually use phrases with verbs in this case - 褋褌褉褍褋懈谢 (turned out a coward) or something else. I'm Russian um no.. im russian and ive never even said wet chicken.. lmao thats pretty funny tho |
