Quite a lot of people use social networks where you can chat with loved ones who are not so close. Learn a lot of new things about the place of residence, learn something interesting about your city, the people of your city and not only. But it is worth remembering that social networks are intended for all nationalities, which is why misunderstandings occur. But there are terms and words that are clear to everyone, at least among young people.
Evolution of language
In today's world, we all lack communication. Villages become cities, from which we and our relatives become a little further than we would like. Still, we should not forget that we live in the 21st century, when man has already visited the moon, and Mars is nervously waiting for a man to set foot on its surface.
A significant event of the 21st century was the full-scale introduction of the Internet, because thanks to it, civilization acquired such features as itnow has. The Internet has helped us connect with family and friends, and without the slightest delay in delivery. The times when we had to wait for weeks for letters from relatives are long gone, but a new problem has arisen. In the process of adaptation, languages tend to acquire new words, and here it is impossible to do without additional explanations. Today we will talk about what it means - "auf".
According to the dictionary
First of all, the word "auf" refers us to the German language, where it is a preposition - "auf" - and means "on" (on the table, on the ground, etc.)
In "Wikipedia" you can find the abbreviation AUF - Uruguayan Football Association, but this is more for sports fans.
What does "auf" mean for Caucasians and not only
It all started after the collapse of the Soviet Union, or to be more precise, back in the 80s of the last century. Yes, this is exactly the time when the “Iron Curtain” began to open, protecting the world of the Soviets from the capitalist West. At that time, it was fashionable to speak English, or at least use a couple of words in a normal conversation. So, what does it mean - "auf"? Nothing complicated, just the words adapted to the new contingent. For example, the word "yes" was used at almost every step, wherever there were young people, and was transformed into "yep". Words were distorted and replaced by neologisms. So, the word "wow" after "recycling" began to sound differently - "auf".
And among Caucasians, this exclamation also denotes an extreme degree of approval, equivalent to the words "great","Wow," "Wow, that's our way!" Here is the answer to the question of what it means - "auf".
Social networks
Many people saw this short word under some videos and wondered: "What does "auf" mean?" On VKontakte and other social networks, the weedy word began to appear more and more often. And the answer is quite simple: this is youth jargon, teenagers express their sincere surprise, shock and admiration for some event in this way. During correspondence, young people often write to each other: "You're just auf", "Yesterday everything was auf".
Conclusion
We hope you now know what it means - "auf", after which, perhaps, you will also begin to use it to express your admiration for any event.
