Getting confused in modern slang terms is easy. Young people have long mastered the Internet, and are already actively communicating with peers around the world. Including, within the framework of computer games, because of which an incredible amount of incomprehensible words is integrated into Russian colloquial speech. One of them is “easy”, a short description of the situation, a fleeting request or value judgment. Where do you get so many values from? How is the three-letter combination deciphered? To do this, look into recent history.
On foggy Albion
The concept is direct tracing of English easy. The speaker relies on translation, which includes two possible and equal options:
Moreover, both versions of Easy are an assessment of the complexity or conditional “weight” of a phenomenon. For example, if the interlocutor has a difficult character, a capacious term is suitable to reassure him.
In modern Russia
Phrases with a brief foreign insertion exist for many years. But they gained particular fame after the so-called rap battle between the very popular performers Oksimiron and Purulent. Even the broadcasts on federal channels reproduced the verbal duel. And ordinary bloggers did not stand aside. And the word izi, especially repeated twice, has more often come across in the speeches of contemporaries. Such an expression can be interpreted as attempts to pacify an opponent, calls not to lose touch with reality:
- be more simple;
- take it easy.
However, the term originally came from eSports disciplines. When at the end (sometimes during) the match, the players gave an assessment of what was happening. Moreover, the utterance should be evaluated from the context, and not just by the inclusion of "isi" in it. These are the most different emotions:
- indignation;
- insult;
- joy, etc.
By sending a chat message, you are hinting that losing or winning a fight was easy. Why? For example, because you yourself did not play very well, or the team interaction was low, and the opponent was a real professional. On the other hand, in the address of the defeated enemy, such phrases are perceived as disrespect, they say, to deal with such a weak enemy in terms of strength and the child.
In everyday communication
Can't decide? Slang "Easy" is a good addition to the vocabulary. During the game, knowledge of the terms helps to understand others, although you need to use the word carefully if you do not want to offend anyone. In a normal conversation, it replaces the domestic “easy-going”, “no problems”, inheriting its meaning from the original idiom easy peasy lemon squeezy and the Russian-language analogue “Just a plain turnip”. Use without fear, but do not forget that older people may misunderstand you!
