Talk:абажжа

weird word
It's a weird word. The translation seems to be wrong in both Russian and the English wictionary. Not sure how this can mean wassup. The only usage I've seen: "абажжа you", i.e. "I adore you" - обожаю. --Anatoli 04:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

 * I've speedily deleted [[абадьжа]] as a protologism: even a Google Web Search turned up only mentions, no uses, and most of the mentions were obviously Wiktionary-derived. [[абажжа]] should also probably be speedily deleted — it gets no hits on Google Books or Google Groups, and only 40 Web hits, of which many are mentions and many are bizarre — but I could imagine someone disagreeing about that, so I've left it for now. [[абаджа]], on the other hand, gets hundreds of Google hits and few dozen Google Books hits. They don't seem to be in this sense, but a Russian-speaker should weigh in on that before we speedy it as well. —Ruakh TALK 14:53, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete all. Somebody thought misspelling is funny. It's like including misspellings of those illiterate cats (lolcats, I think, they are called). --Vahag 15:19, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Interesting, thanks. By the way — I understand changing &lt;о&gt; to &lt;а&gt; pretonically, or &lt;ж&gt; to &lt;жж&gt;; but wouldn't inserting &lt;д&gt; or &lt;дь&gt; noticeably affect the pronunciation? (I mean, obviously dropping the final &lt;ю&gt; also changes the pronunciation, but dropping inflections is a sort of recognizable illiteracy. Changing to  seems less intuitive to me. Does it make more sense to a Russian-speaker?) —Ruakh TALK 15:25, 26 October 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it doesn't make sense. Perhaps the origin of this invented word is not the misspelling of обожаю (but most Google hits for абажжа are indeed such misspellings). Even so, this is not a real word; it has been deleted at ru.wikt as a creative protologism. The Google hits for абаджа are for an African tribe in Russian and for an Abkhazian/Ubykh mythical creature (dwarf) and not for an interjection "wassup!". --Vahag 16:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Per Vahagn, I've now speedily deleted the other two as well. —Ruakh TALK 15:43, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
