Qing, it simply means "доехали/добрались".

Талгат, хватит пороть горячку.
Любому (кроме вас) понятно, что "дотарахтели" - это добрались, скорее всего на транспортном средстве.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

The дотарахтеть is actually the imperfective of тарахтеть, and this can have two meanings: (1) literal - to rattle, to clatter (about a means of transport and (2) figutative - as in Talgat's translation. I feel in this very context дотарахтели isn't likely to mean "chattered into arriving somewhere" because разговоры were already mentioned there . It is more likely to imply "we reached the place by a clattering cart(?)".

Вот тебе на! Когда я писала свой комментарий, у меня не отображались ни коммент Ольги, ни Грамблера. Я и парилась(

Татьяна, у меня тоже частенько так бывает.

@"The дотарахтеть is actually the imperfective of тарахтеть"
How come? Is it not vice versa?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 7 years ago

It looks like the perfective

А, да, грамблер, конечно, моя ошибка! Good catch!))
