"Дерьмо" is not the right word for the context. It's used to refer to a poor quality of something or someone, but not to express a feeling of disappointment.
You want "ой", "блин", "бляха-муха" or "блять".
- sillysaurus3 12y agoYou want "oh", "pancake", "plaque-fly" or "fuck". Always interesting to see how cursing translates to other languages. Or other phrases for good/bad. 牛逼 is literally "cow cunt," but people use it to mean "great." That was very strange to me until I realized that "bad ass motherfucker" literally meant "an incestuous incompetent donkey." Is learning how to swear properly in various languages a valid hobby? It seems like a fun one.
- huhtenberg 12y agoActually "блин" is more of a ... "crêpe" than "pancake" :)
- johnlbevan2 12y agoSimon Quinlank would approve.
- johnlbevan2 12y agoThanks; as you can probably guess, I'd just Google Translated; but good to learn some new vocab; think I'll join @sillysaurus3 in his new hobby.
- dmytrish 12y ago«Вот дерьмо» sounds right.
