Russian is one of the most difficult languages on our planet. And not only for foreigners, but also for carriers. What makes it so difficult and therefore interesting? A large number of homonyms, homophones, idioms, jargon, obscure proverbs and sayings. One of the words that puzzles foreigners is the verbs "wildebeest" and "oppression." Or not verbs. Or not always verbs ... If an Englishman, a Frenchman, a German, a Spaniard or a Korean ask: “What is wildebeest?”, Do not rush to answer. A word cut out of context can mislead even a person who has lived all his life in Russia or in the countries of the former Soviet Union and speaks Russian from birth.
What is wildebeest
Let's try to understand this issue gradually from the very beginning. So what is wildebeest?
- A very large South African antelope belonging to the bovine family. Outwardly, it is more like not a regular antelope, but rather a bull, and a rather large bull (I saw a wildebeest in the zoo, a cute antelope, somewhat reminiscent of an ordinary cow, but very overgrown).
- The first person, the singular of the verb "bend" (Wildebeest metal rods as easy as strips of plasticine).
- An operating system (one of a kind) with which you can perform mathematical operations (Development of the GNU system began in 1983).
The value of "oppressed"
The noun "oppression", like most words in the Russian language, has several meanings:
- A load, something very heavy, imposed specially on something, for gradual compression, push-ups, and compression (To make dung dies better pressed, you need to put oppression on them).
- That which torments, oppresses, burdensome (Under the yoke of worries you will not especially have fun).
- Igo, coercion to any action or inaction, restriction of rights and freedoms (It is necessary to free oneself from oppression of oppressors).
- Subjugation of power (She lived all her life under the yoke of husband authority).
- A long pole, which is pressed by hay or straw laid on a cart (Do not lose the straw along the road, crush it with oppression).
What is an idiom
An idiom is a special expression, the meaning of which is understood by a native speaker or a person who has lived in the country for a long time and has absorbed all the subtleties of a foreign language to the bone marrow. For example, the expression "bend your back." The meaning of phraseologism (idiom) by a foreigner can be taken literally: to make inclinations, swing the press, bend someone’s back to break. It’s funny for us, but not for someone.
