I’m from Ukraine but Russian is my native language.
No, it isn’t so. Doesn’t even look like a very bad translation. Just no.
Why are you leaving us hanging? (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
What would be a more accurate phrase?
┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ) I can’t afford a new table dude
Nothing. There isn’t any idiom for that.
You don’t a single idiom for “mind your own business”? Wild, but ok.
Well there is the “not your doggy business” (as in, you’re the dog/bitch, and this is not your fucking business), but it’s rarely used now and it’s also not super special
Or just “Not your business”, when not being rude.
That will teach them
Might I suggest: Tebya ne trakhnut, tak chto ne verti zadnitsey
Do I need to flip another table and make @[email protected] sad or are you gonna tell us what that would roughly translate to?
(ง°-°)ง
According to Google Translate, “You can’t get fucked, so don’t shake your ass”
Uh… theyarethesamepicture.jpg
Не твоё дело (literally translated to “not your business/deal”)
French one is actually mostly correct, but the expression is not used that much
I use it very often. It might be a region thing. I am from the north.
I’m from Lorraine; we use it quite often.
oh putain gros un Lorrain comment qu’c’est gros ça geht’s mollllllllllllllll!
Oh putain deux lorrains, comment qu’c’est les gros ?
Ça gehts les gros ! Qui a une schmer ?
In Quebec I heard it more often but from older generations
hard to translate in English but in QC would you say “criss moi patience”
I believe you but I like it so much that I’m gonna start using it anyway.
As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that’s not saying much.
I was surprised “Arabic” was this loosely defined when “Chilean Spanish” was very specifically defined immediately following
This meme was brought to you by the Chilean gang
Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat
It has so much in common with English
Or any language spoken over a wide geographical area
Yeah Qubeckers, Cajuns, and the French all speak French but they do not speak the same French.
Am Arab, can vouch that I’ve never heard of it.
German: That’s not your beer./ That concerns you like damp dirt./ That can walk by your ass.
m…dirt clay and Loam and Soil🤤🤤🤤😇
Calm down Urist
It’s all sausage to me.
Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So “mind your own onions” is an old-fashioned way to say “mind your own ass”
It’s “it’s not your onions” c’est pas tes onions.
And the anus thing is fun but just a theory.
Except it’s plural, and I only have 1 anus.
Maybe it’s meant to imply your mouth is also an asshole?
Sick burn, if so.
How weird of you.
Hey, who am I to judge the two-anus person that invented that expression
First time seeing this. Much more common one is “тебя ебать не должно” or a version without swearing: "не суй свой нос в чужие дела*
"First time seeing this. Much more common one is “you shouldn’t give a fuck” or a version without swearing: “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business*”
Is that an accurate translation? If so… Very similar to sayings in the U.S.
Yea, translation is spot on
don’t stick your nose into other people’s business
That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.
That’s not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.
It was fairly common in the US decades ago, but you don’t hear it as much now. You’re more likely to hear it with “business” instead of “beeswax” when you do.
Business is the original idiom and it didn’t originally mean “stay out of mine.” It originally meant to should make your own prosperity your primary focus. A similar modern phase that would capture what it originally meant might be “Keep hustlin.”
It was fairly common in the US decades ago.
It’s an old expression, but it checks out.

In Taiwan it’s “關你屁事“
Which is mildly translated to “Care about your fart situation”
This is pretty derogatory. I wouldn’t use it unless it’s with your friends messing around.
As in “be careful so you don’t fart” or more like “you stank up the place with that sour fart”?
Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”
English also has, “stay in your lane.”
I always liked “where’s your business?”
In Denmark, the youngsters have recently been saying “spurgt?” which translates to “asked?” - as in “were you asked?”. Somehow the brevity and linguistic lazyness makes it even more infuriating.
Sounds almost as irritating as “OK boomer”. Which I have to say is especially irritating to be on the receiving end of since I’m not a boomer.
Ok boomer, calm down
Boomer is a mindset
Definitions exist for a reason. You don’t just decide something is something else and it’s age racist as fuck.
Language evolves, the meaning of words change. It’s a natural part of the evolution of language over time. You say hang up the phone or dial a phone number, don’t you? But you don’t literally hang up a phone when you’re done with it or turn a literal dial anymore. But they used to work that way, so we still use that language even though the original meaning is lost.
I would argue that although this phrase originated from dismissing the opinions of actual boomers, it’s become a convenient shorthand way of calling someone out of touch with current social trends without having to adapt new phrases every time a new generation takes the place of the boomers as being out of touch.
Not the same if it’s a subset of people and the direction is negative. Not cool.
You want future generations attaching negatives on a subset like “trans” or “queer”, poisoning their history?
Definitions of people should only contain those people, nothing else, period. Haven’t we already learned this from history?
Don’t invite trolls.
Millenials like nothing better than call everyone their grandparents and put nasty labels on their grandmoms and granddads.
Millennial are in their 30s and 40s, half the time theyre on the receiving end of OK Boomer.
IMO its great to be able to say “your lack of experience with the world as it exists now, and not 20+ years ago has left you unable and unwilling to understand. I am giving up trying to help you learn” in just 2 words
Ok, boomer.
I actually …i would probably do this.

Mexico very similar to chile : “no tienes vela en el entierro”… English: you do t have a candle in this burial".
Similar to another English idiom: You don’t have a dog in this fight.
“Quien te dió vela en este entierro?”, en Argentina. Se puede asumir que es algo de hispanoamerica al menos. Also, maybe it’s better to translate it like “you don’t have a candle in this funeral” maybe? I don’t know if english speaking people hold a vigil for the dead like we do. Burial while is a more direct translation, I don’t think it really represents the spirit of the adage.
Unconfirm all of them
None of my business
In English it’s: Nobody asked you!
Kids might use the example, I would laugh in the face of an adult using it unironically though.
Well nobody asked you.
Qué te importa. Come torta. Con tu hermana la gordota.
Why is it important to you, eat cake. Like your fat sister.
