Please, ummm, I'm stck at this word (russian)

Hi guys.

We had a chat at work yesterday about cars, someone mentioned the Lada NIVA.

Now my brain hurts. What the heck is NIVA??

I thought it was bear or possibly deer, I found info on the internet that NIVA means field?

Does niva mean anything?

I have found different online translators, but they all insist in showing results in kyrillic. I need a drink before I can read kyrillic

 

The Neva river?

 

If the word "niva" makes your brain hurt, I suggest that you seek some professional councelling.

Does the words "inva", "ivan" or "vain" affect you in the same way?

 

Niva: cornfield; field.

A field of wheat.

 

Thanks boroda! Now I can sleep

@airfax, Ivan is ok, Vain is somewhat uneasy
Don't you sometimes get stuck on something, can't get it off the head or so?
This was a bad case of the "brainache"

 

Or naiv(e)

 

In this case, boroda WAS the professional.

 

Just look out, he might send you a 5000kr bill for his services

 

...verdammt...

 

Speaking of funny translations, just WHERE did you get your signature from, airfax?

 

I don't remember. I was looking for ...emm...humor.., and somewhere in the middle of that stumbled into that site.

 

Hehe, was it this site? http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article09-100

 

Nah, the site I bumbed into had some nudity (for some reason) and even pictures of naked women (It was an accident, I didn't look for it, and I looked only for few......minutes.... )

 

It seems to be a modernization of a text that I saw on a sticker in the late 80's.

Then it was not concerning "das computermachine", only "das machine".

Still funny though

 

*LOL* reuben...back in the 90s, there was even one electronic band calling themselves "Das Industry"

I found it somehow funny.

 

ROFLMAO!
