Ukrainian language dictionary with translation into Russian. Funny Ukrainian words and expressions. Dates and times

Tales, jargons, and have always been a kind of buffer in the age-old, centuries-old, but not very serious enmity (rather, its imitation) between "Khokhls" and "Katsaps".

The one who does not understand Ukrainian well laughs well

In the Ukrainian language there is such a tongue twister: "Buv sobi tsabruk, ta y peretsabrukarbyvsya." This abracadabra (a certain tsabruk lived for himself, who eventually got stabrukarbilized) can serve as a kind of test for Russians who want to learn the Ukrainian language. If he repeats correctly (at least once!) - he will speak Ukrainian, if he doesn’t repeat - he will make the Ukrainian laugh, although for the “Russian ear” there is nothing funny about the fact that some kind of “tsabruk pepperabrukarbilized”, as the majority tries to pronounce a tongue twister "students".

The Russians are also amused by the not always coherent Russian speech of many Ukrainians, but numerous funny Ukrainian words arouse delight, the list of which in volume depends on the “degree of understanding of the Ukrainian language” (the degree of understanding of the Ukrainian language).

"Zupynka" on demand

Ordinary situation. The client of the restaurant wants to pay, turning to the waiter in Ukrainian with a request: "Rozrahuyte mene, be kind" (calculate me, please). The serious face of the client is unlikely to be able to contain the cheerful reaction of the waiter, who does not speak Ukrainian.

Can any of the ignorant come to mind that "having smelled the back of the head" means "scratched the back of the head"? And he who heard the admiring exclamation of the girl: "Oh, what a grandmother!" - hardly thinks about a dragonfly.

Mastering the art of fighting on "dryuchki" is probably more difficult than fighting on "sticks". "Who forgets the parasol?" - can be heard in Ukraine in public transport, and the "unreasonable", smiling in bewilderment, will think of anything but an umbrella. Or in the same place, in public transport, the conductor, leaning towards you, will politely remind you that "Your zupynka is following", and you will only guess that it is a stop.

If someone agrees with you with the words: "You maete the radio", - boldly smile, because this expression means "You are right", and not a suspicion of espionage.

Miraculous droplet

Some words in Ukrainian are funny because ordinary and familiar concepts acquire a cheerful, parodic sound. The word “shkarpetki” touches and makes many people laugh, while socks (and these are “shkarpetki”) do not cause any special emotions in anyone (as a rule). When visiting friends in Ukraine, you may hear an offer to put on slippers, which in Ukrainian sounds like this: "Axis your captsi" (here are your slippers). Someone, looking at your ring on your hand, may say: "Garna (beautiful) heel", - and if they praise the hat, you can hear such a compliment: "Wonderful droplet!"

In the park, on a bench, an old man sits down next to you and, exhaling wearily, says: "Ledve doshkandybav." Most likely, upon hearing this, you will smile, instead of sympathy, despite the fact that the grandfather "barely got along."

Many funny Ukrainian words with a translation into Russian sound completely different, losing their charm, such as the invitation "sit down together" instead of "syadem vkupi" (words from the song).

By declaring that you are "out of the blue" your opponent is not at all trying to guess where you have moved from - he is claiming that you are crazy.

Asking when the next bus (tram, trolley bus, etc.) will come, and having heard in response “it’s already a nezabar”, do not try to figure out where it is, you were told that “soon”.

Learn Ukrainian

"Dyvna dytyna!" - the Ukrainian woman will say, looking at your child. Do not be offended, the kid has nothing to do with it, because "dytyna" is a child. A little khokhlushka girl, seeing a grasshopper in the grass, will joyfully exclaim: "Mom, breathe, konyk!"

If someone boasts to you that they have built a "hmarochos" in their city, take the message seriously, because this is a skyscraper that literally "scratches the clouds".

Do not be embarrassed if you, intending to walk barefoot on hot coals, hear a warning exclamation: "Nothing!" It's not what you might think, it's just "recklessness".

Hearing behind him a quiet, astonished exclamation: "Yaka is a pretty girl!" - do not rush to be indignant or offended, because someone simply admires your beauty (in Ukrainian - "like"). And vice versa, if a confident “schlondra” was heard behind your back, do not flatter yourself, because, despite the French pronunciation that breaks through this word, you were mistaken for a woman / girl of “not very difficult” behavior.

“I’m going to jump like-nebud,” a new Ukrainian acquaintance may tell you, promising to “run in somehow,” and not jump, as you might hear.

Treating you with plums or pears, a generous Ukrainian woman can warn you against abuse, hinting at the possibility of indigestion with the words "... so that the quick Nastya does not attack" (so that fast Nastya does not attack). Agree that it is not as scary as diarrhea, and sounds more pleasant.

And chogla roar and roar

The funniest Ukrainian words are associated with unusual for "Russian hearing", but intuitive translations. Some children, for example, like "Vedmedyk Klyshonogy" sweets more than well, and girls will prefer "Tsem-Tsem" zukerkas to "Kisses" sweets.

"A golden chain on that oak (And a golden lancet on it): day and night, the learned cat (and day and night there is a whale of teachings) keeps walking around the chain (on the lancet circling team)." It sounds nice, melodious, but ... "smiles."

Many people are amused by the "Ukrainian Lermontov" when he "... and she could roar and roar," although if "... and the mast bends and creaks," there is no laughing matter.

In Russian in Ukrainian

Funny Ukrainian words and expressions often appear as a result, to put it mildly, of inaccuracies, and sometimes even attempts to pronounce a Russian word in the "Ukrainian manner." For example, you can hear such an expression from a pretty girl in the address of a boyfriend: "Don't jerk off, Vasko!" I can’t believe my ears, but this is just an innocent slip, because the girl wanted to say “ne fight” (do not tease, do not be angry). "I'm telling you frankly," a Ukrainian who has forgotten his native speech and who has not remembered the word "vidverto" can say. From the same series, there are such pearls: kanhwetka (candy), ne talk, pevytsya (singer), bite (delicious), ne catch up (dislike), etc.

Ukrainian words in Russian, funny hybrid phrases and expressions are often "in a hodgepodge" with the Russian language or against the background of predominant Russian words, where they are appropriate, "like a horse in a store."

In the international melody of the Odessa slang language, you can often hear such "notes": tamochki (over there), tutochki (right here), there (that way, side), this way (this way, side), mats (touch, paw), poke (to loiter) and many other pearls. "Wus trap?" - they will ask you for some reason at the Odessa import, and try to guess what it means (vus - in Hebrew "what", and trapylos - this is Ukrainian "happened").

Innovations "in the Ukrainian manner"

The list of phrases in the category, which includes "innovative" words in the Ukrainian language (funny, somewhat exaggerated translations), is growing every day. These are mainly expressions and concepts that do not sound Ukrainian enough. Therefore, today you can also hear the following: drabynkova maidanka (stairwell), cross-overhead drotochid (elevator), morzotnyk (freezer), mapa (map), pilosmokt (vacuum cleaner), komora (pantry), dryzhar (vibrator), dushets (nitrogen) , lipylo (glue), bayonet (syringe), zhivchik (pulse), rotoznavets (dentist), drybnozhivets (microbe), krivulya (zigzag), zyavysko (phenomenon), squirting (shower), zhivoznavets (biologist), poviy (bandage) , obizhnyk (bypass sheet) and others.

Swearing in Ukrainian

Irresistible to the ear Ukrainian curses, and for those who do not quite understand the meaning, some of them sound like a "wonderful melody" and can even have the opposite effect, amusing the scolded.

"And so that Nasteya's shvydkoy here pissed you off ... (a familiar wish to you). And so that the navel of that bald one, like a kind of maku mortar ... And so that millet threshed with your muzzle ... And sob toby a bulka jumped out of his nose ... And so that a fly kicked thee... And sob the kolka chipped off thee... And sob the evil spirits overpowered thee... And sob toby stepped on the trigger..." and many, many more kind and sincere wishes.

overkill

And finally, a few "popular", rarely used, including far-fetched literal pseudo-translations of some Ukrainian words, which not everyone causes sincere and cheerful laughter. Spalahuyka (lighter), zalupivka (butterfly), chahlik nevmyryuschiy, pisunkovy villain (sexual maniac), yaiko-spodivaiko (Kinder Surprise egg), sikovytyskach (juicer), darmovyz (tie), pisyunets (teapot), cap-vidbuvaylo (scapegoat), gum natsyutsyurnik (condom) and others.

“I myself don’t know what kind of soul I have, Khokhlatsky or Russian. I only know that I would in no way give an advantage to either a Little Russian over a Russian, or a Russian over a Little Russian. Both natures are too generously endowed by God, and, as if on purpose, each separately contains what is not in the other is a clear sign that they must complete one another "(N. V. Gogol).

About using the Ukrainian part of the phrasebook.
The Ukrainian alphabet is very similar to Russian. The difference is that in Ukrainian there are no letters y, e, b, but there are letters that are not found in Russian: g, i, i, e.

When reading the Ukrainian part of the phrasebook, you should keep in mind that:

i - pronounced like Russian and;
ï - pronounced like yi;
ε - pronounced like Russian e;
g - pronounced like Russian g (however, this sound is extremely rare);
e - pronounced like Russian e;
and - pronounced like Russian ы.

A characteristic feature of the Ukrainian language is the consonant r, which is pronounced as the South Russian non-explosive r (the middle between r and x).

Otherwise, the pronunciation of Russian and Ukrainian sounds, as a rule, coincides and should not present difficulties for the Russian-speaking reader.
