Excellent work Fyodor! I studied Russian in college 45 years ago, and we NEVER talked about the FUN parts of Russian - but you do!

What about the following translations: - I’m embarrassed = я смущён (somewhere between embarrassed and confused) - I’m confused = я сбит с толку (in the sense of bewildered, disoriented) - I’m excited = я взволнован (in the sense of agitated with excitement, thrilled) I understand thar there’s no perfect translation to these words in Russian, but I think the ones I listed above can be used in many common contexts as well.

@@TennessisET предвкушение is closer to “anticipation” in English, so “я в предвкушении» would be better translated as “I’m looking forward to it”. “Excited” in English can have many different shades depending on the context, which would translate into different words in Russian: - я рад (I’m so excited to see you again!) - я взволнован (I’m excited to get started!) - я возбужден (I’m so excited that I can’t get to sleep) - я в восторге (I’m excited about the future)

For example, would you still use those sentences and those specific versions for “excited” if you’re speaking to your spouse, vs your colleague? I’m learning Russian, and I just want to see if the word would change depending on who I speak to.

American native English speaker here. I don't think "upset" or "angry" captures the main point of "frustrated". "Frustrated" implies that something beyond your control is holding you back; sort of a mental brick wall.

Frustration also implies hopelessness in whether you can affect change in your situation. For me, frustration is certainly more like an acute awareness of your inability to cause for an outcome to reach your ideal end. It's like the opposite of accepting the circumstances and making peace with them, it's finding the circumstances outrageous and impossible to cope with. Crazy how, when you're a native speaker, you will say a word and rarely think about the depth of just what it is you're saying. It's probably hard to translate a phrase like "I'm frustrated" when there are so many elements to the condition of frustration, as an emotion. To say "I'm frustrated" is just a simple way of saying "In my opinion, this situation is stressful, but I don't feel that I am able to change it and I am also unwilling to accept it."

Fedor, will you please make a video talking about different words that can be added to greetings to make them more personal or friendly? In english we can say “hello my friend” or “have a good day bro” and i am curious what phrases Russian has that would be similar to these. English has a lot of these, depending on where you are you will hear these words after greetings : “boss” “chief” “bro/brother” “bud/buddy” “man” “sir” “m’am” and more, adding these makes greetings feel less robotic, especially for example when you are working as a cashier or bartender, where you have to greet people

​@@Rus-eq5wn thank you for your response! If you would be so kind, could you please provide some context for how to use these words? I used two separate translators to see what they mean, but I am not sure how to use them in their most accurate and respectful ways. for example, which words would be weird or rude to call a stranger or somebody you recently met? приятель translated to "buddy", in English you generally use buddy to refer to people younger than you and it can be offensive to call people of similar age or people you just met buddy. земляк translated to "countryman", which we really only use to talk about groups of people for example "a good citizen cares about their fellow countrymen" уважаемый translates to "respected", which I would guess is similar to "sir"? a word you can use to emphasize your respect for somebody, or acknowledge their status as above your own.

@@musicuser9967 it's just not something that is normally used over here - in that these are not added to phrases like they often are in English. Normally, you just say hi, or add their name to your greeting. "Здравствуйте, Иван Иванович". Say, уважаемый is normally used in some formal circumstance, like a toast, a birthday greeting, in an email or a letter, and so on. You don't say your hi to your boss in the morning as "Здравствуйте, уважаемый Иван Иванович", you'd seem like you're trying to kiss his ass. Приятель is not used in conjunction with anything, it's a weird word, because it means someone who is not really your friend, but you're on good terms, so this is not a word to use in a face to face conversation (and it is often used in an unfriendly manner, when you want to argue with somebody). Друг or дружище (an even friendlier friendy friend) can be used the way you want them to. It's a bit old-fashioned, but doesn't sound odd, however the word friend in russian actually means something. These can, however, also be used when arguing. Земляк is fine. It is broadly equivalent to homie, it means someone who is from your hometown or home region, and you've met him elsewhere. But this word is ok to use in other circumstances, and it doesn't seem properly odd either. But it is for peers, you can't call your boss that. Братишка is also fine, also for peers, only for very informal circumstances. Lorry drivers seem to like to use this word for some reason.

When you think about it, embarrassment really is a form of shame, isn’t it?

I'm frustrated = "Я во фрустрации" (I'm in frustration) Just another anglicism to make speaking easier)

"Раздражаешь" is a bit too formal, one could either say "бесишь". Бесишь also implies awareness of speaker's overreaction, the most common use of this is when you mean "You make me jealous, and I hate that".

I find it funnily demonstrative of the culture when someone completely lacks an expression. Like english lacks the expression for when you feel good about someone's misfortune. Russia lacks the expression for feeling embarrassed.

I would translate "I'm, embarrased" in a common sense like я в смятении или я в замешательстве

"Я фрустрирую" Так уже и говорим🤷‍♀

Is there a non-sexual meaning for Я возбужден? (I'm excited)

@kujivuniakituo6121

Ай бұрын

Yes. Возбуждение - (lat. excitatio). A psychopathological condition characterized by intensification and acceleration of various manifestations of mental activity - thinking, speech, motor skills. Thus, if, for example, something happened and everyone rushed out of the house, discussing it and not knowing what to do, they are excited. The fans in the stands are very excited during a tense moment of the match. It's a normal, common word, but (in my opinion) it's usually used when talking about someone, not about yourself. A excited person is, like, too excited to say that about himself, I think.
