| Привет всем!(Privet fvem)! Hi, everyone! And it’s me, Katya, and Ten Phrases for Bad Students. Bad phrases for bad students, or good phrases for bad students. Let’s check it out! |
| The first phrase is… |
| 1. Жульничать на экзамене. (Zhul'nichat' na ekzamene.) “to cheat on a test” |
| Actually, жулик (zhulik) is a word for someone who’s cheating or stealing something. It’s a bit old fashioned word, but it’s still used жулик (zhulik), so “cheater” or somebody who’s stealing something from other people. |
| Не жульничайте на экзамене! (Ne zhul'nichayte na ekzamene!) “Don’t cheat on your test!” |
| 2. запугивать (zapugivat') “to bully” |
| “You're not going bully me.” Ты меня не запугаешь. (Ty menya ne zapugayesh'.) |
| “If you don't write this report for me by Friday, I am going to tell everyone that you cheated on a test.” |
| Если ты не напишешь для меня отчет к пятнице, я всем расскажу, что ты списывал, жульничал на уроке. |
| (Yesli ty ne napishesh' dlya menya atchyot k pyatnitse, ya fsem raskazhu, shto ty spisyval, zhul'nichal na uroke.) |
| 3. ленивый (lenuvyy) “lazy” |
| So “laziness” is лень (len'). Well, in English, “I am lazy.” but in Russian, it’s, Мне лень. (Mne len') |

| Мой сын такой ленивый! Даже не хочет пойти вынести мусор! |
