JudasIscariot: Не понимаю :P

Riewell: Like that? :-P

JudasIscariot: "давай" != "dawaj"
avatar
Riewell: Why not?
"Dawaj" means = "you, give!" Used in a sentence it would be like this: "Dawaj sekrety!" (Commanding/demanding tone - Give me your secrets!)

Apparently, from what I can gather based on context and using a better online dictionary than Google's, "давай" is more "let's go then!". Well, this sentence threw me off a bit: "А давай наперегонки..." ( http://www.gog.com/forum/general_ru/offtop_zakon_podlosti/post3089 )

False positive. It has both meanings

Better will be Выдавай секреты! Or Ты выдашь секреты. You make a promise with threatining overtone

Is it? I thought both words have the same meaning. Howewer 'ты дашь' is kinda future perfect (I'm not sure, grammar always is my enemy).

Well, funny thing is that Polish has a similar use of the word "dawaj" :) It also kind of means "let's go!" or "go ahead" so like this:

"Siema, mam sprawę" (Hey, I got a problem!)
"No, dajesz!" (Well, go ahead!)

but I was worried about doing the ol' "Polish and Russian are very much alike" method of translating which got me some funny looks the last time I tried doing so :P

Yep, problem of incorrect interpretations becomes bigger in related languages.
'Dajesz' sounds like 'даёшь' which means 'You are giving' but also has another meaning, used mostly in old Counciliar streamers, e.g. 'Даёшь электрификацию!' (something like 'Let's embody electrification!').

You better believe it :) "Confident" in English and "konfident" in Polish are two false friends you really don't wanna mix up :D

"Konfident" means "police informant" in Polish slang so take that how you will :)
Posted November 23, 2015
А забавно. Конфидент - тот, кому можно довериться, так что что-то в этом есть. Правда, тут тогда наоборот, полицейские выступают конфидентами стукачков. =)

Well, you never know with us only communicating via text and in different languages and all, so I had to be sure we're cool :D

Like I said, just don't call anyone "конфидент" if you're ever in Poland, even if you mean that to be someone you confide in :)

Вспомнился анекдот:

- Чем занимаешься нынче?
- Пишу оперу.
- Ого! А можешь меня туда ввести, описать как-нибудь?
- Конечно. Опер велел про всех писать.

I must admit it has a little piece of charming humor noir. It's common in russian that a word has a diffirent meaning in some context =)

Hmmm I am trying to work on this one....Does "Oper" mean anything? I notice the trick is in "оперу" and "Опер" but I can't crack it :D

Short for Operativnik (Derivative from Operation, Person, which does operations)
