The guide emphasizes social appropriateness, warning that using slang with the wrong person, at the wrong time, or with an accent can sound ridiculous. It explains key pronoun and grammar foundations (ty/vy, cases, gender) and practical pronunciation guidance, while introducing categories of slang and obscene language terms.","To Myroslava. Someday this book is gonna embarrass the hell out ofyou.  \nAcknowledgments  \nThe authors would like to thank coffee. Without you, none of our efforts would ever reach fruition. We are eternally grateful. And eternally wired.  \nUSING THIS BOOK  \nRussian is just about the coolest language in the world. But you already know that because you’ve been studying the language for a while now, right? At least I hope you have , because I didn’t write this book with the novice in mind. I designed the book to bring your Russian to the next level, a level usually reserved for natives and longtime expats. With that in mind , I’ve tried to give you all the dirty words and insider terms that your college Russian professor would never teach you. So you’ re not gonna find any basic vocabulary or grammar lessons, or ways to ask somebody where the library is. It’s assumed that you know all that crap already. But if you’ re looking to tell somebody to fuck off or that they’ve got a nice ass, then you’ rein the right place , my friend.  \nAll of this is to say that I hope you already more or less know your way around the language before jumping into this book. It is a complex language to master even at a fairly basic level. Learning the slang is even harder as it can be extremely difficult for the uninitiated to gauge when, where , and with whom slang is appropriate. As the old saying goes: when in doubt, leave it out. Using the wrong slang with the wrong person at the wrong time—especially with a strong foreign accent—will make you sound ridiculous. It really will. So err on the side of caution. Also be aware that it is far less socially acceptable for women to use foul language , so know your audience before letting it rip.  \nThat being said , I did try to make the book as reader friendly as possible. Each phrase in the book is accompanied by its English equivalent and its Russian pronunciation. Often you’ ll find example sentences with key slang words bolded so you can break those words out and employ them on your own, whether you’ re just joking around with your friends at school or spending quality time on the streets of Moscow, St. Petersburg , Kiev, or some remote backwater village. Once you start to know your way around and find yourself with a group of sailor-mouthed friends with three days’worth of drinkin’ on their breath, you should jump right in and start throwing the slang around. Even clumsy attempts will likely earn their amused affection.  \nNow take your Dirty Russian and get dirty with it.  \nSome Basics  \nRussian, much like Russia itself, is not for the faint of heart. So here are a few notes to keep in mind as you’ re reading:  \nTy and Vy: Like many languages, Russian has two pronouns for “you”: ty and vy. Ty is the informal and singular way of saying “you”; vy is formal and plural. We have used ty as the default in this book as slang is something inherently linked to informal social situations. Generally, you wouldn’t say anything in this book to someone that you are on vy with. Vy, however, is also used for plurals, so this is the one you need when talking to more than one person.  \nCases: Russian has six grammatical cases, which means that the endings of words change depending on their function in the sentence (direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition, etc.) . When words are given in isolation, assume that they are in the nominative case. However, when they are given in phrases, they have whatever case ending is necessary for the grammatical context. As this is not a first-year Russian textbook, familiarity of basic Russian grammar is presumed. If none of this paragraph made sense to you, go look it up.  \nGender: All Russian nouns have a gender (masculine , feminine , or neuter) . This is important because it will affect the declensional patterns as well as the endings you use on the adjectives to describe nouns. In terms of people , gender means that both adjectives and the past tense of verbs take ","cbCaip3Zm7dg0BGO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaip3Zm7dg0BGO","pdf",6431132,3,1,144,"English","en",105,"# Using This Book\n## Slang appropriateness and audience\n# Some Basics\n## Ty and Vy\n## Cases\n## Gender\n## Pronunciation\n# Slang\n## Key terms (jargon, cussing, mat)\n## Indecent language\n# Pronouncing Russian\n## Russian alphabet basics","[{\"question\":\"Who is this book designed for, and what is assumed about the reader’s Russian level?\",\"answer\":\"The book targets learners beyond beginners and assumes familiarity with basic vocabulary and grammar.
