    Weren't you a bit quick to make the future into the past?

    Were you perhaps a bit hasty in changing the future tense into the past?

    Don't you think it was a little presumptuous of you to make the future tense into the past?

    Wasn't it a bit audacious of you to use the past tense instead of the future?

I don't believe that you don't get it))))

lixo = too quickly (слишком быстро) or overbold (слишком смелый)

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Uly, лихо is an adverb from лихой = смелый, храбрый, удалой ( стих получился 😀), т.е. лихо - bravely

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Weren't you too audacious to have used the past tense instead of the future? (Is it correct?)

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Wasn't it a bit audacious of you to use...

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Aha. And is it possible to use the Present Perfect here? ... to have used...?

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

You can use it, but it's not really necessary - it a bit of overkill.

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

What a great new word - thank you Grumbler!

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

😉

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

I have a feeling it also means nervy. For instance, if some of the people from work are talking about taking a trip to the country over the weekend, and another coworker barges in and says "Oh how fun! I'll need a room for myself and my boyfriend." You could say "Don't you think it was a bit nervy to invite yourself on the trip?" -A не слишком ли лихо ты пригласила себя на поездку? Would that be correct?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Uly, in this case we say "шустрый". Ишь ты, шустрая какая!"

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

It's fine. Лихо has a bit negative effect.

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

"Ты пригласила себя" sounds strange to me. Better не слишком ли шустро ты собралась в поездку".

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

А не слишком ли шустро ты навязалась?

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

And for some reason, when we find people presumptuous or nervy, we tend to say God!: Ишь ты, шустрая какая! God, are you nervy!

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Female one ))

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

навязаться = to latch on: God, wasn't it a bit nervy of you latch on to us like that? hahahahaha

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

To invite oneself = to latch on?

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

шустрАЯ - female, шустрЫЙ - male

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

It's more like шустро соединиться к группе людей (I may as well use my new word, right?)

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Thank you, Julia, that part was clear 😜

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

As soon as I walked into the party, Elaine latched on to me and I didn't get to talk to anybody else.

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Шустро ПРИсоединиться к группе людей. It's possible, but depends on the situation. It's an informal word. Also we sаy шустренько. Давай, шустренько собирайся, мы опаздываем.

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

ПРИсоединяться just because you would like to join ur friends and not to be unified with them

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

¿So how would you translate this then: Давай, шустренько собирайся, мы опаздываем.

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

😅 u should ask Elena, i would say: get a move on, we r late ))))

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

That's perfect. So it also means fast?

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Here шустренько is used in its proper sense - quickly, while шустрая какая - nervy. Rush, we're being late

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

"Rush, we're being late" <--- not good 🙁

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Шустро? It is fast but also adroitly 😁

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Physically or mentally? Or both?

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Both

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

And definitely physically. What's the difference between adroit and agile?

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

So for example, when somebody is very old, but they move quickly for their age, would you use this adjective?

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Yes

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Elena, we don't use "rush" in the imperative - we say "hurry up" or "get a move on"

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Aha, well in English we have a special word for an old person who's still шустрый... we call them SPRY

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

"My mother's 95 years old, but she's still very spry."

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Sounds like подвижный or активный. But we also can say шустрый informally.

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Thanks for a new word 🤓

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Uly, What's the difference between adroit and agile?

🇺🇸 Uly 🐝added a comment 7 лет назад

Adroit isn't often used in modern English

Yulia Madded a comment 7 лет назад

Ok 👍🏻
