@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol Much like Kalashnikov.
@AmpBenzScientist
It was ukrainian invention too? Hmm. Funny story. Ill borrow it. Now they want to beat antonov. Wonder whether they stole blueprints already.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol Kalashnikov was Ukrainian but in the Red Army. He was injured in combat and started designing a rifle in Russia. They had the resources and made it possible. So it was a Ukrainian who worked alongside Russians with captured Germans to produce the rifle. Russia has really embraced the Kalashnikov Concern and they are using state of the art machinery in production of small arms.
Because of limitations of the design, it can't be made as accurate as the M16 or M4 but they have come close. China's military rifles are not as good as either but seem to be mediocre at everything instead of excelling. It was even mentioned that it had less recoil than an AK-74 which allegedly has less recoil than an M16. I was shooting an AR15 since I was 11, I never noticed recoil from it.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I was going to mention a shotgun as actual recoil but I decided not to.
@AmpBenzScientist
And yes its very similar to russian.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol We were on the same CSGO team so I just assumed they were Russian.
@AmpBenzScientist
Aah. Did they speak >romanian< and it looked like russian to you?
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I've only confused Romanian with Latinized Russian. My spelling is terrible and that was actually a Romanian woman I was communicating with. We both understood English and that's when I realized I had spent an hour trying to communicate. I don't know how I managed that.
@AmpBenzScientist
Generally if you know russian, most cee langs will be much easier for you. But some will dislike being talked to in russian.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I know that it was standardized but not forced to replace the native languages.
@AmpBenzScientist
It was grand plan but we broke it. The strength of enforcing russian as secondary or primary varied though. In poland luckily it was only as secondary and lax and everyone hated it and still does to this day throughout of most of cee minus serbia and bulgaria I think.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol Counter Strike Global Offensive. It's not uncommon to hear Cuka Blyat or Pizdic in game. It has become a meme about Russians somehow. Like Stalker.
@AmpBenzScientist
Yea blyat is russian for kurwa mac.
Pizdit however has many translations to polish but one of them is: "napierdalaj!"
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol Pizdit is just general profanity, I don't know if it can be used incorrectly.
@AmpBenzScientist
To make it perfect its suka in latinized, its written in russian as cuka. Blyat sometimes has ' at the and in latinized to mark t as being soft version.
Those soft and hard signs and moving accents from word to word in ukr and rus were disaster for me to learn comparable only with tonespersyllable in some asian languages.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol When I was learning Chinese I often heard other languages and it kept confusing me.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I know it translates roughly to "fucking bitch" in English. It's difficult to use because if they understand it there will likely be a physical response.
@AmpBenzScientist
Depends might mean youre fucking bitch or she is but might also mean oh fuck as when youre amused shocked etc.
@PawelK @AmpBenzScientist @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol
Romanian is the same as russian ? Lol . Can I quote you on that sample of brilliance?
@mcread
Stop it. Depends. Amp is rater brilliant on most occasions. Trust me.
@AmpBenzScientist
You might consult Genen and SirDingus and Rin on russianlang/profanities etc. They are very outgoing welcoming humble and generally nice ppl like many Russian ppl are.
@PawelK @AmpBenzScientist @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol
I don’t care about the russians ;)
@mcread
Complain to mastodon/fedilab authors about how they autotag you in remainder of conversation whenever you pop in in middle of discussion.
@AmpBenzScientist @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol
I dont like this feature either.
@PawelK @AmpBenzScientist @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol
Oh geez that just silly .
Sry abt it. Tryin my best not to piss you off etc. It wasnt and isnt my intent to.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol It does have some bugs.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol I'm not certain to whom you were referring to but you haven't angered me.
@AmpBenzScientist
No no was talking to mcread he got pissed he got tagged however misskey mastodon fedilab works, he got multitagged. Unnecessarily.
@PawelK @Genen @SirDingus @rin @smigol Ah Nuuuu! Thanks for clarifying sir.
@AmpBenzScientist
Not cnnected to romanian in linguistics imho.
Ukrainians say russians stole their language. It could be in line with ukrainian belief that when first settlements in ukraine were being formed, in place of today russia also known then as Moscovia there were only trees and grizzly bears.
