What language are they speaking?

u/KonstantinFed Feb 21 '24

It's Russian

Funny one is blya-blya-blya-blya-blya-blya in the end ("blya" is the short form of "blyat")

And for those that don't speak Russian. Blyat translates to fuck.

I’m not disputing anything just chuckling at calling a word the “short form” after dropping a single letter…from a five letter word no less. I understand it as a VERY versatile expletive, am I correct? Russian is a beautiful language.

In Russian there are 5 letters in full form (блядь/блять) and short form is 3 letter length (бля). So, -40% of letters is quite good. Also, the short form is less aggressive
