Hi everybody... can anybody tell me what 'furt' means??

I can't find it in the dictionary at all

I'll write them exactly as I saw them:

1) tak já jsem na kopačky zvyklej.|Já je dostávám furt. Víte proč?

2) A já furt psal ...|sedím - mám žížeň,...
chodím - mám žížeň,|ležím - mám žížeň ..

3) Furt troubí, že je na Smíchově.

4) Abys to furt nevytrhávala|z tý zásuvky. Do prdele.


I get the feeling it might be a word with a slightly bad conotation, so if in fact its a curse word and someone gets offended... I apologize in advance.

It is colloquial word with the same meaning as "pořád" or "stále" - always, constantly, all the time. There is no bad conotation . It seems to have german origin for me, but in german the word "Furt" means "ford".

 

It is from German, but from the word "fort", which means "away" or "forth" (cf and so forth).
In composed words it has often the meaning of "continuation" e.g. fortsetzen = pokračovat (continue), fortlaufend = nepřetržitý (continuous)

 

Thanks Karel, my german sucks :?

Speaking of the word furt / and bad connotations. Can someone please remind of the phrase "středa je středa... something with furt in it. I can't remember it.

I know it's kind of a bad saying so if you want to pm it to me as not to offend anyone, that's fine. :wink:

 

No wait, it's "středa ne středa...something something furt something potřeba" I think.

 

By the way, another colloquial word with the similar/same meaning as "furt" (and I believe it originated from German too) is "imrvére", but you won't hear this one often.

 

But you can combine both - Imrvére furt

 

most definitely from german "immer währe" i believe?? think the use might be regional ??

 

Well I see as no one has been willing to tell me this saying, perhaps it's more naughty than I was originally informed. I apologize if it's overly lascivious and my crude Czech friends (perhaps purposely) mis-informed me.

 

Maybe:

Středa, je ho tam třeba?
It's Wednesday, so it's time to insert it. ("it" is penis in this case )

It has sexual connotation, but it isn't much lascivious, more.. jerkish?
Like something, which drunk older guy yells on girls passing by?

Mayby only my feeling, but I only heardt it from these types

Tha german word is
"immerwährend", = ustavičný, nepřetržitý, neustálý = uniterrupted, continuous
"auf immerwähre Zeiten" na věčné časy = for ever
"Na věčné časy a nikdy jinak" - phrase from the early socialismus era - "Se Sovětským Svazem na věčné časy a nikdy jinak" 8)

 

That's funny. Bet you didn't expect that answer, Dzurisova :lol:

 

It came to my mind too, but there was no "furt" so I decided rather not to write it

 

Well, I didn't expect the answer to be so graphic or like eso said, "jerkish". But I did know the answer involved sex. I thought is was something like "wednesday or not wednesday, is the day I need to have sex" At least that's what one of my Czech friend's told me. It did have the word "furt" in it though. And she said that women say it to thier husband/boyfriend, not that old icky men yell it at young girls.

It's kinda like the saying we have here (not involving sex). "There are only two days I like to go fishing (or insert another hobby). When it's raining and when it's not."

 

Středa nestředa, furt je ho tam potřeba.
Wednesday Nowednesday, he is always needed there. (lit. trans.)

We are learning such useful phrases.


Prší neprší, furt je dobrý den jít na ryby.(mezi dalšími věcmi)

 

"mezi dalšími věcmi" (= "among other things") is normally said "mimo jiné" in czech.

 

Alexx,

the binary reference is funny - I have that posted on a sign in my cubicle at work
