I'm from Ukraine but Russian is my native language.

No, it isn't so. Doesn't even look like a very bad translation. Just no.

Nothing. There isn't any idiom for that.

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

You don’t a single idiom for “mind your own business”? Wild, but ok.

[–] nawa@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Well there is the "not your doggy business" (as in, you're the dog/bitch, and this is not your fucking business), but it's rarely used now and it's also not super special

French one is actually mostly correct, but the expression is not used that much

[–] claimsou@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I use it very often. It might be a region thing. I am from the north.

As an Arabic speaker I have never heard of number 3, though Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat so that's not saying much.

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 63 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was surprised "Arabic" was this loosely defined when "Chilean Spanish" was very specifically defined immediately following

[–] auraithx@piefed.social 21 points 20 hours ago

This meme was brought to you by the Chilean gang

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Arabic is more like forty languages in a trench coat

It has so much in common with English

[–] protist@mander.xyz 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or any language spoken over a wide geographical area

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

Yeah Qubeckers, Cajuns, and the French all speak French but they do not speak the same French.

[–] anas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Am Arab, can vouch that I’ve never heard of it.

Explanation for the french one : onion is an old slang for anus. So "mind your own onions" is an old-fashioned way to say "mind your own ass"

First time seeing this. Much more common one is "тебя ебать не должно" or a version without swearing: "не суй свой нос в чужие дела*

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"First time seeing this. Much more common one is "you shouldn't give a fuck" or a version without swearing: "don't stick your nose into other people's business*"

Is that an accurate translation? If so... Very similar to sayings in the U.S.

[–] malware@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

Yea, translation is spot on

That's not a common British expression, at least, perhaps someone says it.

[–] TomMasz@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It was fairly common in the US decades ago, but you don't hear it as much now. You're more likely to hear it with "business" instead of "beeswax" when you do.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Business is the original idiom and it didn't originally mean "stay out of mine." It originally meant to should make your own prosperity your primary focus. A similar modern phase that would capture what it originally meant might be "Keep hustlin."

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

In Denmark, the youngsters have recently been saying "spurgt?" which translates to "asked?" - as in "were you asked?". Somehow the brevity and linguistic lazyness makes it even more infuriating.

In Taiwan it's “關你屁事“

Which is mildly translated to "Care about your fart situation"

This is pretty derogatory. I wouldn't use it unless it's with your friends messing around.

Apparently the Argentine equivalent is something like “take your hat off, you’re not in this photo”

[–] alzymologist@sopuli.xyz 18 points 9 hours ago

As native Russian speaker, this is terribly rarely used in this full format (and it's one among many), but genuine, I've heard it IRL.

"Тебя не ебёт, так не подмахивай"

This is highly and universally derogatory, you could expect to hear it from lowlife/criminal, which, unfortunately, is what most russians are lately, though. For russian nazi population, this implies that you are gay or a slut, depending on biological sex, and that's close to your life worth nothing. For the rest, this is just something nazies would say to insult you.

The first part alone, though, is quite socially acceptable and overused. I guess, because it's lost the whole lore behind it, and showing your knowledge of whence it came from kind of reveals that it's not just an empty word, but you mean it.

I'm a bit hyperfocused on swearing, am I? Was one of my childhood's special interests.

Honestly, "mind your beeswax" is also a rare gem, but not quite so rare.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 16 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

English also has, "stay in your lane."

A relative new saying in German.

Person A: Where is the bus?

Person B: which bus?

A: Of people who asked?!

Mexico very similar to chile : "no tienes vela en el entierro".. English: you do t have a candle in this burial".

[–] Pumafred9@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Similar to another English idiom: You don't have a dog in this fight.

I will wiggle by ass on the camel & make signals with my candle whilst lubricating my onions with beeswax for you to fuck as I please, ok?!?!!

Why is it important to you, eat cake. Like your fat sister.

Another reason to love Russian (the language).

[–] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 28 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I feel like I'd really love Russia if it weren't for everything they've been doing for the past ever

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Understandable, I like their art and culture. Aside, from hating gay people and invading Ukraine.

The Scouse British dialect has a nice term for this: "Geg out". As opposed to "Fred is gegging in", used when someone is trying to implicate themselves or become part of the group/conversation.
Someone involving themselves when they shouldn't be? Two syllables: Geg. Out.
No idea where it comes from but I heard it a lot in my youth. Forsomereason.
