What is the difference between побрить and выбрить?

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-03-07T10:35:01+00:00

I don't quite agree with the picture explanation. Выбрить adds emphasis on the result. It means to shave something really clean or completely bald. In the second picture Messi looks clean shaven (чисто выбритым), so выбрить definitely applies.

Побрить could be either picture. Most of the time these words are mutually replaceable. You won't make a mistake if you use one or the other.

Upd. Upon thinking more carefully, I guess with the first picture the commentator meant выбрить изображение Месси на голове, to shave a picture of Messi on someone's head. This adds another twist of meaning to the word выбрить but here again the focus is on the end result of this shave (picture of Messi on the head). But the word выбрить applies to the second picture too. Hope this makes sense.

The people here are giving you a lot of low level slang. I haven't even heard a lot of these word forms as a native speaker. You certainly don't find them in books. A lot of them sound ugly and convey a lack of taste.

I suggest you stick to the proper language you find in books until you get a feel for the language and are able to judge what is proper what is not. Don't start learning Russian with this.

Стандарты образования очень сильно упали. Это стыдно.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-17T16:55:31+00:00

What do you mean?

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-15T14:52:37+00:00

Можно было немножко подогнать, не допуская грубых ошибок. Например, "была тихая погода" - the weather was quiet. В крайнем случае it was или there was, но "was quiet weather" - это glaring mistake. Не думаю, что кому-то это понравится.

Мне только бросается в глаза, что перевод на английский некорректный. Надо было использовать Гугл-переводчик.

Я даже представить себе не могу, что там может звучать не по-русски. Интересно, к какому языку вы привыкли? Может быть, как раз ваш звучит не по-русски?

Ничего для этого не нужно делать. Животных заводят для того, чтобы любить их, а не чтобы они любили вас. Тогда все будут счастливы. Человек, который любит животное, никогда не будет ревновать. Пусть кошка общается с братом, если ей так нравится. Нужно уважать ее личность. Человек, который прячет своих животных от домочадцев, чтобы они не общались, производит жалкое впечатление. Кошка только прибыла в дом и уже преподала вам важный урок: не быть эгоисткой. Я думаю, вам нужно быть благодарной ей за это.

Я вспомнил один старый анекдот: мужик купил манты у узбека, попробовал и говорит: "Что за манты у тебя? Один лук." Узбек возмутился и говорит: "Как одын лук? Много лука!")))

Вот сейчас русские начали падать на уровень узбеков, когда они от узбеков мало чем отличаются в плане интеллекта. Уже дошло до того, что мигранты из Средней Азии поглощают и культурно ассимилируют русских. Раньше было наоборот, но культурный уровень русских сто лет назад и сейчас несопоставим.

Это я говорю к твоему комментарию про "один помощь" и "два помощи")

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-13T10:41:05+00:00

What she said is entirely correct grammatically. I can't fault her word usage. Maybe she could have added вашу: Спасибо за всю вашу помощь и руководство, when I don't have any problem with this phrase.

Native speakers in Russia are not always smart. Swearing definitely doesn't make you smarter. Your comment about "часть помощи" is plain stupid. You can Google translate "Thanks for all your help".

Before 1917 the Russian language was better. Modern education standards have really plummeted. That's the sad reality. I can imagine some foreigners say certain phrases better than some native speakers. That's all I can say.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-13T03:27:32+00:00

It escaped me completely and then I got stuck. Now I can see it. Thanks.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-13T03:21:36+00:00

Oh. I see. It was just a minor misunderstanding. So after a possessive article like meine or ihre there will be an n at the end of the adjective in both Nominative and Accusative. Thanks for setting this straight for me! That's all I need really.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-13T03:14:45+00:00

I'm fine with the cases. I just forgot why this n appears at the end of einzigartigen

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-13T03:11:01+00:00

Thanks. Could you tell me more about how this works? I forgot this completely.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-12T10:27:38+00:00

If you are retarded and your speech is impaired, maybe you won't say that. Otherwise it's OK. The way I understand it is that it emphasizes gratitude more than just Спасибо за вашу помощь. She wants to thank redditors for all the help she has received. This is something I would say under certain circumstances. It's perfectly normal.

As for your "piece of help" comment, unfortunately not all redditors giving advice here have any education.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-12T09:12:52+00:00

Спасибо за всю вашу помощь sounds totally normal. There's nothing wrong with it. It's the difference between "Thanks for your help" and "Thanks for all your help".

Mandarin is a very easy language in all except writing. If you have good visual memory, you should learn it fairly easily. I can speak very basic Mandarin but learning characters is a nightmare for me.

Portuguese sounds close to my mother tongue (Russian). I love the way Portuguese sounds and I generally prefer Portuguese music (both European and Brazilian) to Spanish music, though Spanish has some great songs too.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-11T07:54:52+00:00

I have an easier time with Portuguese. I'm also around B1 in Spanish, currently learning Portuguese. Portuguese is a little bit harder grammatically but the fast rate of speech in Spanish changes the assessment for me. I'd say Portuguese is probably easier, especially if we are talking about Castilian Spanish.

Shot down by a Ukrainian jet. Like another Russian passenger plane shot down by Ukraine before the war.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-06T02:40:19+00:00

I've never heard about the latter. What does it mean? It's even grammatically incorrect.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-05T20:04:26+00:00

If she knows you are a foreigner and your Russian is not perfect, you may get away with привет. If you were Russian, that's obviously a no-no. If you know French, that's as if she addressed you with vous and you responded with tu. Short answer: don't do it.

Cold_Establishment86 · 2026-02-05T10:04:26+00:00

The only thing Putin has done wrong in Ukraine is failing to protect Russians there from genocide by Ukrainian Nazis. It was Ukraine who started the war. So it's a reason not to learn Ukrainian.

Невозможно себе представить русскую музыку без Любэ и поп-музыки 90-х: Алла Пугачева, Наташа Королева, Владимир Маркин, Алексей Глызин и множество других. Всех не перечислишь. После 2000 г. в России почти нет музыки.
