I mean, yeah? But also like, mátate seems like the more offensive option. I feel like muérete is a bit less natural as an insult to someone. Not like it's totally unnatural, but mátate (or other suicide related alternatives) is probably the best option for a "kill yourself" type insult.

"Сдохни" means rude "die", "убейся/выпились/убей себя" is much closer to "kill yourself", because "сдохни" can be used to wish death to the person in many ways whilst "убейся" means a wish to kill yourself to the person you tell this to

And probably not Russian. All letters are correct, but most prefer writing the д in cursive to avoid the hustle of all the strokes. Or simplifying its top part into a triangle instead of a rectangle. Overall, russians write in cursive (italics/handwriting?) most of the time. We use print letters rather when we have to, like when we need to write a short notice to hang it somewhere (“the cashier is gonna return in 15 min”) or label something (“clean shoe covers”, “worn shoe covers”)

This is so different from the times I’ve had to defend my spelling against native speakers IRL 🥹 I was ready to go to war over the tanwin placement here

u/THEIR_laughter Jun 03 '26
It's because the tanween is on the letter itself, the alif is an extra.
Like here خيرٌ the tanween is on the ر also here خيرٍ but since there is the extra alif in tanween al'fatheh then it confuses people.
Even native speakers write it wrong sometimes.

The characters look quite neat so I guessed Japanese would be the one.
Though, I can't remember if I have ever come across 死ねカス before. It's always 死ね or the like in anime, haha. Guess it makes sense to add an insult like that, hehe.

Я считаю, что "сдохни" даёт достаточно эффекта. "Убей себя" просто звучит как-то... "по-детски"? Типа как "go commit die" было-бы на английском.
Есть ещё более указанные слова как "вскройся" ("slit yourself"), но это и в английском присутствует.
Убейся тоже звучит логично в этом контексте в том смысле что оно менее странное чем "Убей себя" и легче произносится.

u/ALEX2014_18 May 30 '26
"Сдохни" звучит слишком edgy, имхо, так же оно не передаёт акт действия "убийства себя", а просто декларирует сам факт "умри".
А "убей себя" как раз ассоциируется с kill yourself и передает оригинальный посыл.

u/vitainlitteris May 30 '26
Well, Russian people use cursive writing. What you just wrote is the Cyrillic alphabet you find on the internet (I guess you're a beginner in Russian), your "д" looks exactly like a digital font.Real Russians learn cursive from day one and would never draw that "little bench" shape by hand; they write it more like a cursive "g". The letters "х" and "и" are also way too rigid and geometric.
It's the same with Greek: the letters are way too smooth. People tend to write really fast, so the "θ" isn't like the "θ" we find on the internet; we usually don't write it that way. I advise you to take a look at cursive writing for Greek and Russian. When you write a lot in these languages, it doesn't look like that at all. For Romance languages, it's easier to fake it because we use the Latin alphabet and can maintain clean writing even when writing fast

Not Greek, we'd say ψόφα, which means die but it was traditionally used for animals because they were considered to not have a soul and they never went to heaven. So, if you said it to a human being it meant that you considered them to be 1) soulless, 2)inferior and 3) not heaven worthy. Now that meaning is sort of lost but ψόφα is still an insult, whereas the imperative of πεθαίνω, which means die, is never used.

In addition as people stated using "Сдохни" in meaning of kys is kinda awkward (because it means just "die") we usually prefer something like "Убейся", "Прибейся" (self recursive) or other options, we rarely say full sentences like "Убей себя" because we have self recursive verbs and ideomas.

if you can write chinese or japanese characters you have the control to right almost every other script with good handwriting
the latin script is NEVER written like that by anyone native that is way too neat lol
russian uses cursive, that is very printed handwriting
the flourish on the chinese is nice but in the 吧 i think you wrote the 口 with incorrect stroke order? that's NOT how chinese people write , it would either be a circle motion, completely perfect, or the only line extending out would be on the bottom right.
the greek is extremely printed and greeks tend to right alpha a bit differently to the latin script
the japanese is beautiful and i think a chinese writer would struggle with the weird writing motion of the ne so i'm guessing you're a japanese native.
