>> Explanation: "Priam" in affirmative is more of a filler noise (Da priam? in the beginning of the sentence means disbelief, so in a sence the last two words of the interviewer mean "is that so?" - not impliying disbelief here, but rather meaning he expects a positive answer) In the answer "pryam" is used more or less as an emphatic "indeed" "Shchemit" is very informal for "suppress", "be hard on"... "Zhestoko" is colloquialy used as a general emphatic adjetive - for example, the expressions "zhestoko napilsia", or "zhestoko pogulyaly" - do not necessarily refer to crude behavior, it can be just scope. |

1.priam- priamo- straight-honest;2.right at this place?really are they so close to pharmacies...? Explanation: I think that "da priam?" in the question closer to "really?""are you honest?"-neuzeli vpravdu? chestno?( the interviewer wants to be sure and asks more insistently).Are they really making arests at the places near the pharmacies? The answer- exactly,there,right now and really bad. As far I know,"da priam" often uses for - like "I can't imagine,can't believe,it cannot be too bad". |
