40 loans in the Russian language, which enraged readers Layfhakera
Forming / / December 19, 2019
Disputes about the development of the Russian language is not one hundred years. In the Russian Empire even existed a division into Slavophiles - people who want to see the original Russian, without outside influence, - and Westerners.
For example, a Slavophile Alexander Shishkov, the founder of the literary society "Lovers of the Russian Word", performedThe controversy about the Russian syllable between Westerners and Slavophils against borrowing from the French language and the "new style" in principle. Thus, he proposed to call the actors Litsedeyami, heroism - dobledushiem and field marshals - governors. Did not like him, and familiar to us today, the word "melancholy" and "antipathy".
Sometimes the debate between representatives of the two movements reached the point of absurdity. It suggests that Westerners even wrote parodyUsing Shishkov syllable. As a result of the proposals "Dandy goes from the circus in the boulevard theater in galoshes" turned "on the promenade Horoshilische coming from the lists in disgrace on mokrostupah".
In our time, then popular French language changed to English. Many use it on a regular basis for work or travel, watching TV shows and movies in the original language. Even reading the book without waiting for the translation. Quite naturally, foreign words seep into our speech. However, some of them frankly annoying.
Layfhaker recently published material about this theme. Thanks to your comments, we selected 40 new and most unpleasant borrowing. We understand why they are so enraged.
1. Experience
It is not clear why the British experience began to be used instead of the word "experience". Our version, and shorter and more convenient, it makes little sense to borrow. Apparently, therefore, it is so annoying.
2. Maybee
For those who constantly uses the English, sometimes foreign slips "can be." Colloquially it is used frequently and may occasionally arise in the dialogue. Therefore, if a person speaks the language fluently and use it, do not rush to swear. Chances are good that your interlocutor replacement is not even noticed.
3. naming
Naming - is an English business terms associated with the professional development titles for services, projects, companies, and so on. It comes from the word name - the name. Synonym in our language long and very uncomfortable - "imyaobrazovanie". Because on the foreign word is more appropriate, but it can be annoying in ordinary speech.
4. teenager
This borrowing is already old and used for a long time - can be found"Dictionary of Russian slang." Articles on the letter "T" in his "Dictionary of Russian slang", which included language materials end of the XX century. But the haters of the word does not become smaller. Most likely because it is alien Russian language in terms of pronunciation.
5. harassment
Last year, the news is Russified English words are used most often, and it is pretty eyesore. Means harassment and intrusive invasion of privacy rights. Probably used to reduce the repetitions in the text. But in simple conversation, it seems strange that a man wants to show off knowledge of the language.
6. workshop
This word means any training event. synonyms in the Russian language has enough, for example, courses, seminars, workshop. there is a formal distinction between borrowing and them, but, depending on the situation, each is quite legitimate. Because "workshop" and annoying, because in most cases there is no need.
7. Usability
On a par with the word "juzat" often causes confusion. The term more than a professional from the field of ergonomics. It means efficient use of a product or commodity. In a word - the utility. At the business meeting the word by the way still have to, but imagine how it will look, for example, in a conventional dialogue: "I do not understand the usability of the bicycle." Your partner will probably be confused.
8. imageboard
It may seem that the word is related to the image, but it is not. We just borrowed a crooked British imageboard, it literally means "board with the pictures." It is about to publish images of the forums. In most cases, the word infuriates his foreignness, but independent analogues in Russian does not have.
9. skill
This word is a Russian version of the same number of letters - Skill. There are also synonyms: skills, skill, dexterity. Borrowing may sound organically in a conversation about computer games or business dialogueBut in general it is not necessary. Because it causes many negative.
10. Deadline
This token is popular because it is the only Russian equivalent of the complex - the deadline for delivery. It is much easier to say one word instead of three. But it can be annoying that sounds foreign.
11. boyfriend
arina BAlways crazy enraged two words: "boyfriend" (there is also a guy, lover, partner, etc.) and "Donut" (NU-DONUT you what not to please ??)
Indeed, the synonyms for that word a lot. Most often it can be found in magazines and on forums teens, The creators of which have unsuccessfully tried to get closer to the audience. But often, it looks ridiculous, and this infuriates.
12. Donat
Those who found Soviet donut and pyshechnye, the word seems to be a strange and frankly angry. But this is not all clear. Our typical donuts - a test that thrown in boiling oil and then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Donata - it is something from "The Simpsons". Something bright in glaze and always with grit. In fact there is no special difference, but for the Russian people it is noticeable.
13. Pancake
Endo KsyPancake - incredibly annoying! There the word pancake.
Immediately establish that Pancake and our pancakes - they are two different dishes. American counterpart pancakes to taste more fresh and fried on a dry frying pan, not the oil. In this case, for cooking Pancake not use yeast dough, and egg yolks. Given the differences, you should not be annoyed - just need to call the dishes by their proper names.
14. Booking
The term associated with the reservation of some seats. Hence there was even an entire profession - Booker. In dictionaries token by and large absent. To work this word is fully applicable, but in ordinary conversation without it you can do to avoid irritating the interlocutor.
15. Feick
slang a word that means something is not real, fake, fictitious. It is used for many things. Fake can be the news account in the social network, and even the subject, is a fake. May irritate as a foreign term, and its ambiguities.
16. trend
The word means a general trend in the development of something. It is quite easy to use, only used where necessary and not necessary. Just their frequency and furious, because sometimes synonymous sound and look much nicer. For example, the trend rate for direction. Depending on the context, they can be used.
17. crafting
Now it crafting called almost everything is done by hand and do not put on a big production. As you see the word too often, it is annoying. Option fashionable and interesting, but the "handiwork" sounds good. And in some cases, even more impressive.
18. coworking
dmitry UlyanovRecently received a letter from the new team. I counted it a dozen. Just freezout. "In our new coworking will hold mitapy and breynshtormy. And we have a super mediarum for Living prezenteyshn. For reservations use Autluk or go to the reception desk. " That is, the Russian language is no longer possible to describe in general all the same workflows?
No one vocabulary tell what the word "coworking" really can not. In a broad sense - as the approach to the organization of labor within the workspace - it still has the right to life. In the narrow - in fact, the office - does not make sense. It is irritating that give importance him trying to insert wherever possible.
19. Mitap
The word, which is also boycotting the majority of dictionaries. It means an appointment or meeting. Sacred meaning of its use remains a mystery, because there is no need. That's why angry.
20. brainstorm
It is not clear why the "brainstorming" is no longer in fashion, but it's true. One can not deny that the loan is shorter, but it is not very pleasant for the Russian human hearing. Especially if the person does not know English.
21. Also
Also warped English - besides, too - can often be found on the Internet and even in speech. Many use it for fun, but there is no need for it. Than it annoys.
22. The device
The word is considered slang neologismDenotes any technical device or component thereof. Previously it was used not as widespread, but eventually gained popularity. In general, it is very useful on a professional level - in on different devices surveys, for example - but it may seem strange in a simple dialogue.
23. Prolongation
Igor Intravert1983 MishurovCoach, coaching - sounds disgusting!
Prolongation - sounds acceptable, but why? What did not please the word "renewal", it is even shorter and easier uttered
In principle, there is nothing to add to the commentary. Perhaps, the word is used in the speech to make the significance of the phrase. It sounds as solid than the extension. But little need to borrow does not.
24. coach
A token is becoming more frequent, and mean almost the same thing as a coach or a mentor. Most are not very clear meaning of words, Infuriates his heterogeneity. It is fully applicable in a professional environment, but in ordinary conversation sounds technical and confusing and strange.
25. primaries
Thus intricate word called primary (preliminary) choices. Only most people do not know what this term means, when they hear or read it. Because it can really enrage.
26. Chil
There are more version of "chilit". In English the chill - it's cool, but the slang - cool off or just relax. English-speaking teenagers often use it in speech, and our are not far behind. However, those with English is not so well acquainted, it can really be annoying.
27. pliz
Same as the please. No point in using, as far as not to a foreigner. But they use it a lot and often, therefore, can cut the ear.
28. Wow!
Vadim SukhotinI hate 'wow', resembling a dog barking. Moreover, that is the normal Russian interjection "th."
In English it is written as a wow. And it translated as "Wow!" Or "Wow!". The English version is shorter, but if you stretch the "a", then the word will sound very unpleasant.
29. powerlifting
Sport, or even called power triathlon. Since the English version was easier, he came into use. But those who kept the English at a respectable distance, perceive the word as heavy and ugly.
30. Level
The same as the level. The word that is most often heard in the community gamers. The problem is that it is now trying to use not only talking about games. For example, you can hear the insult, "You fool ninetieth leveled." Or the phrase "My Level English rose". Here is a use can really enrage.
31. troubles
Troubles have each of us, but it is better to say "the problem." The word - warped English version of the token trouble, meaningful the same. But Russified version sounds rude and unpleasant.
32. feil
Easily replaced by "a failure." Sense to borrow there - rather, it is done for fun. A single use of speech is not so annoying, but when you hear it too often - though angry.
33. Easy
English easy and can mean "easier" and "easy, simple, elementary." Of course, borrowing pronounced faster, but not by much. This word is used usually at one time is not limited to that, dialogue incredibly annoying.
34. sponge
If someone remembers the animated series about a yellow sponge in square pants, it's the same thing. Sponge - a common cosmetic sponge. This word was not necessary. Apparently, it just seemed somebody steeper Russian version.
35. HYIP
Meaning of the word is familiar to almost everyone, because it is used by all and sundry. Just for this reason, it is the beginning of many enrage. Synonyms in the Russian language has a lot: the hype, excitement, popularity, hysteria and so on.
36. bullying
Scoring, harassment, aggression, bullying - and many other synonyms of the words that were not fashionable. About Bullying Now many people write and use this borrowing, not to be repeated in the text. But in a simple dialogue without it it is possible to do, because not everyone knows English.
37. Laksheri
Vsevolod KorjaginChilit (Relaxing) vybeshivaet, Laksheri (luxury suite) even more vybeshivaet. The list goes on and on.
Absolutely senseless borrowing from the English language from the word luxury. Easily replaced by "luxury, prestige." There is no need, most commonly used in everyday speech. The trouble is that the fans of this witty insert it almost everywhere that can not be annoying.
38. childfree
In general, it is solely up to you, they have children or not. And to do this ideology with foreign borrowing is entirely optional. But aggression in humans is not so much a foreign word, how much value supporters of this idea. Which is not the norm. You have to be tolerant to each other, because we are all different.
39. shooter
In kinoobzorah you can often see the word. Easily replaceable in the "action", but the equivalent of foreign short, because it is used in many places. More action game called genre of video games, where the emphasis goes to the operation of the physical abilities of the player. At this value, replace the word is problematic. In general, people borrowed just annoying its frequency and foreignness.
40. merchandiser
Vladimir BogatyrevWe have in-store for a long time hauling boxes merchandisers.
Beautiful and interesting borrowing, in which many more make the mistake and write it through "E". Only here the profession, behind this in short, Meaning a less poetic- Goods. Because they have apparently less pleasant than merchandiser, borrowed the word has spread. In general, it is a private matter of the profession, as they called. After all, it does not matter if a person is doing a good job.
the development of language - is a normal process. Not only we, but we borrow words. However, in the pursuit of fashion and knowledge do not forget their native language, because there are still so many Russian words that you do not know. And remember: the abundance of borrowing will not make your speech more interesting - rather, it will confuse the listener or reader.
