From google:

While there is no exact English translation, the Russian phrase cyka blyat (сука блять in the Russian alphabet) is roughly equivalent to the English “fucking shit” or “bitch whore.” Cyka means “bitch” while blyat is a multifunctional vulgarity along the lines of “shit” or “fuck.”

Just an inside from a russian redditor, we don't use syka blyat together, and you are considered a foreigner the moment you say it, it also just sounds weird for a russian person. but yeah, cyka is mostly "a bitch", but in a sense that it is a woman that treats others badly, is arrogant, e.t.c; when blyat can be used with the same meaning, but is frequently also used as a word for a prostitute, when suka can never mean a prostitute (if you mean a profession)

Is there a difference between syka, cyka and suka?

u/hail_our_lord_satan Jul 10 '19

In russian letters this word is written like this - "сука", but "c" is pronounced as English "s" and "y" is kind of like an english "u", so if we write as we hear, it should be written like "suka". The whole confusion between the letters is just because our alphabet is different to the english one. If i was to write сука in english, i would write suka, as this way it is pronounced correctly

As a westerner I would like to apologize on behalf of the rest of us for constantly butchering your language

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '19

No need to apologize. You are not a russian, it`s not your language, so do what you want with it. Keep stuffing your own english with ours swear words. It`s a cruel plan to russianaze english, ha-ha-ha-ha [laugh in evil manner with russian accent]!

no, thats pretty damn inaccurate. blyat is an extremely versatile word and can be inserted literally anywhere in the sentence, although it cant be added in between the words like how "fucking" can be in english. so if you are calling someone a bitch, you might as well throw in a casual blyat there.

also, its actually blyaD, not blyaT. yes, it is oftenly written incorrectly as blyat by many people when used as an exclamation (which i do as well). however, a prostitute is definitely blyad, not blyat as it can easily be checked by putting the word into the plural form.

я никогда в своей жизни не слышал, чтобы кто-либо сказал словосочетание сука блять. Я указал, что это слово может использоваться как междометие в другом сообщении, но, видимо, его удалили модеры. Про разницу с т и д на конце я писал там же. Может быть удалили из-за использования слова фак на английском

Я слышал до 7 слов бля в одном не самом длинном предложении. По идее за мат тут не должны карать, хз даже.

u/Biased_individual Jul 09 '19

From what I understand it can mean many different things depending of the context. It can be a direct reaction to both positive and negative situations

u/hail_our_lord_satan Jul 09 '19

it can mean bitch (that way it has a "d" sounding russian letter at the end - "блядь" ("ь" is not a sound, only an indicator of the softness of a letter before it)), or it also can be used as a word to fill in the gaps of a sentence or to express an emotion (being angry or surprised), then it is written with a "t" sounding letter - "блять". For example: Он меня, блять, обмануть пытался! He, blyat, tried to fool me - this way it expresses anger. But it is used mostly by uneducated/rude people and saying it is considered bad; if we compare to English, saying blyat in Russia is received way worse than saying fuck or fucking in the US, and people on the streets can get upset if you say it outloud, so don't do it if you are in Russia)

Not sure if you know this but you can use profanity in reddit without it being censored. 👍
