Let’s have a talk Так говорят когда надо говорить о чем-то серьезном,проблеме

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

It would depend on the situation. When would someone say something like this? There are things Russians say that are virtually untranslatable in English because we simply don't say the same thing in the same situation. For instance, Russians will say давай познакомимся to someone when they want to get to know them. Although this COULD potentially be translated as "Let's get to know one another," this would be a very awkward thing to say to someone on a social level, AND, in the wrong setting, it could even be misinterpreted as a sexual advance. In the English-speaking world, it's enough to extend your hand and say "Hi, I'm Uly" to make it clear that you'd like to establish an acquaintance with someone or at the very least just drum up a conversation. I have a feeling this давай пообщаемся falls into a similar category. That's why I'm wondering in what situation one would say this to someone.

Роман, можете пояснить, в какой ситуации Вы хотели употребить «Давай пообщаемся»?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Uly, I can imagine Roman use it in a situation where he wants to talk to an attractive girl he met on social media.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

But wouldn’t he have “met” her already in a chat?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Yes, and I'd assume he wants to propose that they chat privately.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

...which we would just say “Private chat?”

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Well, I guess unless Roman deigns to clarify what he means, it's anyone's guess.

Роман В.added a comment 5 years ago

пояснить, в какой ситуации-Добрый вечер, Татьяна. Спасибо ,за помощь. Думаю, две ситуации меня интересовали: 1-я) пообщаемся- познакомимся по ближе. 2-я) просто поболтаем. How about chatting (on here)? Это вопрос , который сойдёт за предложение? т.ж.как "Private chat?-перевод Uly. А предлог тоже нужен? Можно ещё вопр. - "...пообщаемся на английском", нужно говорить " in English" или всё зависит от того какой глагол используется?

Роман В.added a comment 5 years ago

Здравствуйте, Uly, не смог разобраться как отправить вам личн.вопр. напишу здесь. Вы тут некой Ляле дали ссылку soundcloud.com , я тоже посмотрел. Это что ваш сайт? Вы специально для девочки озвучили( произнесли) ту фразу ( предложение)? Или там можно и другие предложения ( какие сам выберу) послушать? Не знаете вот этот ресурс годится для этого -послушать произношение целых предложений ? https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Добрый вечер, Роман! Если я правильно поняла Улия, он считает, что Ваша фраза в ситуации, которую Вы обозначили как 1-ая, хотя и может быть переведена, но будет звучать по крайней мере странно, а иногда может быть расценена как приставание.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Насколько мне известно, после глаголов to talk и to chat употребляют IN English. С глаголом to speak немного сложнее.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Roman, I’ll be happy to record anything you want me to. You can also find me on VK as Uly Marrero.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

As to this post... let's say you meet someone on VK and you send each other a couple of messages. You think it'd be nice to chat with this person on skype, for example, so you send her a message saying any of the following: (1) Hey, why don't we continue our discussion on Skype? (2) What do you say we Skype? (3) Would you like to skype? (4) Hey, are you on skype (by any chance)? (5) Shall we skype sometime? (6) Do you do skype?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

None of these would sound creepy)))

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

The reason I don't like Sveta's translation is that you're already CHATTING, so it doesn't make sense to suggest "let's chat."
