Oh, that slang! Let us not use the majority of new-fangled words in our vocabulary, but the meaning of some youth concepts and expressions can be learned at least in order to laugh. The word "nyashka" is a great example of this.
"Enrichment" of speech by youth slang
"Pearls" of the modern lexicon appear one after another with great speed. Some buzzwords amuse us, some surprise us, others lead us into righteous horror. Their meaning cannot be found in the explanatory dictionaries, and it remains only to speculate about what our child and his friends had in mind, mentioning some kind of “hasl”, “anon” and “nyashka”. One word is more beautiful than another. And it remains only to shrug: "Nyashki - what is this?"
The term “slang” came into circulation at the beginning of the XIX century and since then has been stubbornly walking on the planet. Researchers characterize it as a “tramp language, ” wandering around the expanses of literary speech.
Youth slang, scientists say, arose as a result of opposition to the system, the struggle of generations.
The boom of this phenomenon in Russia dates back to the 20s of the last century. The key role in the formation of slang was played by the increase in the number of street children after the Civil War, the appearance of dudes, other youth movements, as well as the total computerization of our lives.
The use of the word "nyashki"
The time has passed for compliments in which the expressions “pleasant in communication”, “cute”, “charming” could appear. Now they can be replaced with one word - "nyashka". So you can not be offended.
The popularity of this word can be traced among all young people, especially in the circles of fans of anime culture.
Nyashki are people to whom you feel sympathy or friendship. To conform to this concept means to be pretty, smile, exude positive and generally inspire love and happiness in everyone around.
Visitors to sites and forums of fans of Japanese comics and cartoons call each other exclusively and in no other way. Also there you can find various variations of this appeal: "nyafka, " nyaffka "and" nyasha ". They greet each other in a similar way. “Nya!” - one user writes to another and thereby expresses his respect and friendly intentions.
Meaning of the word “nyashki” and its synonyms
The origins of the “problem” send us to the Land of the Rising Sun. It was the exclamation of “nya!” That underlies the words we are considering, the painted characters of Japanese comics and cartoons greet, say goodbye, express approval and end their every phrase. Perhaps their “nya” can be considered an analogue of our “meow, ” because most heroes who love to communicate this way have cat ears and tails.
The meaning of the word "nyashki" can be learned from young people. The interpretation is: "cutie", "handsome", "something beautiful and pleasant."
This word has already managed to get many derivatives. Among them are "nyashno" (that is, cute), "nyashatsya" (exchange courtesies), "nyams" (meaning "I would like to voice my opinion").
I would like to believe that the fans of this word, outside their usual environment of communication, will be able to recall the more literary correspondences of their so beloved concept. After all, “nyashki” are first of all people who are kind, sweet, warm-hearted, cute, pleasant. The soul is a man! And not "sweetheart."
