Help[Opinions] Re: Semen
in reply to a message by Anneza
No one would be called Semen, though, would they? They'd be Семен.
The way to make a Семен - semen joke in Ukrainian is quite a journey: take full name (most Ukrainians go by nicknames most of the time) -> transliterate -> the spelling coincides with an English word -> translate that to Ukrainian -> profit? I'm sure it happens but it's not exactly prime teasing material - the joke just doesn't land very well.
