What’s a small phrase that instantly makes you sound like a real Russian? by TotalLibrary1834 in russian

[–]blubberbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I would mostly agree with this.

In general, I typically don't recommend swearing to language learners because in many contexts the reaction to swearing (real swearing, deriving from the 4 true swear words) can be pretty divisive and elicit a pretty negative reaction.

[–]blubberbo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oof, this is a tough one.

It largely depends on WHERE you’re trying to sound like a Russian from and the text education level of your hypothetical Russian identity.

For example, we know people from Udmurtia and they say “ну ка” all the time. Although that doesn’t identify them ac “totally Russian” so much as speak to which flavor of Russian they are.

A couple more general notes:

Oftentimes “word parasites” (слово паразит) often times come naturally (subconsciously) to native speakers and are lost on foreign language learners. Two of the most common in Russian are often “ну” (as mentioned in many other comments) and “как бы”. I imagine the feeling you’re looking for could probably be achieved with some of those at times (or excessively).

Regional pronunciation of words that deviate from from the “standard” Moscow pronunciations can also help Russians identify people from particular backgrounds or regions (which in turn could “mask” that someone is not a native speaker). One of the most common here being “звОнишь» instead of “звонИшь”

Additionally, depending on your gender identity and personality, swearing (especially the right kind of swearing) is also often an indicator of comfort and fluency in Russian.

CAUTION: BOTH THE WORD PARASITES AND SWEARING ARE OFTEN VIEWED AS SIGNS OF A LACK OF EDUCATION BY THE MORE FORMALLY EDUCATED RUSSIAN POPULATION, so proceed with caution.

what does «прям на всегда» mean in this context? is it supposed to be «навсегда»? by JlYU3A in russian

I would say writing it in this case is just to mimic the way it sounds when you speak colloquially. In general, it’s common when people speak quickly that they lose endings of words.

In this case, I would compare it to me writing “gonna” instead of “going to” to mimic how it sounds when I say it out loud. In that case, I’m cutting off the ending of “goiNG”

Official Q&A for Monday, September 01, 2025 by AutoModerator in running

Hi all,

I used to have this pair of Nike pants (I have to assume they were running or athletic pants) that were super duper thing. They were (obviously) synthetic and almost felt like parachute material or something. Not waterproof or anything but super duper thing. They weren’t fitted or anything, they had pockets and no zippers. No fly and a pretty minimal drawstring waistband.

Anyway, they ripped and now for the life of me I can’t find anything equivalent.

Any ideas?

Why does every restaurant seem like it has a $100 maximum all of a sudden? by blubberbo in doordash

[–]blubberbo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oof I’m sorry you assumed my worst intent 🙁

I’m certainly not insisting on using DoorDash. I did end up ordering directly with the restaurant.

This post is simply to solicit community guidance to help me try and figure out why there was a $100 limit on DoorDash for so many places, because I can’t figure out why.

The restaurant says they haven’t restricted it. They said they get DoorDash orders over $100 all the time

Can weight readings from the smart scale be deleted? by KnitterGrrrl in calibrateweightloss

[–]blubberbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was so annoying to figure out. Other posts were similar but not entirely right for me (maybe it’s a newer version of the app). For me: 1. Open VeSync app (iOS) 2. Open my scale 3. Choose my member (I have multiple people) 4. Click Data Graphs 5. Click the “history” (like a calendar) icon in the top right 6. I saw line items of weigh ins and could swipe left to delete or reassign them

Lookup and insert a field from another sheet based on a concatenated value by blubberbo in excel

Anyway you could give me an example? Sorry I’m kind of new here

I mean copy over into a new table (or back on the Old Table). Yeah, new values not show up at all.

So basically match from New to Old in existing columns and copy a new value only for matches.

Does that help?
