⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

aha, now I know what this means - I'll post my version for everyone's reference.

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 8 years ago

We say впарить especially when they want to sell you something of low quality and what you don't need

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

we say PUSH SOMETHING ON SOMEONE

Aleh Laadded a comment 8 years ago

trying to talk you into bying something is the same as trying to sell. 'The guy just pushed a merchandise on me!"
