Misunderstanding occurs between generations due to differences in interests. Grandparents prefer music records on records and old Soviet performers, parents admire the eighties, when strange dances, “space” costumes and wild hairstyles were in fashion. And young people are fond of Japanese animation, and “nyaka” is a consequence of an enthusiastic attitude towards oriental culture. Is it worth it to scold a child because of the use of an incomprehensible word, how appropriate is it in a decent society?
Kitty talk
Don't worry too much! The source of the original combination of letters was universal favorites, cats. In the language of the Land of the Rising Sun, the set of hieroglyphs ニャー means the standard Russian "meow", the basis of the cat's lexicon. Due to the specific images inherent in anime, expressions with a colorful insert are associated with cute girls. Therefore, a neologism, an interjection arose, which indicates the feelings of the speaker:
- admiration;
- admiring;
- affection.
From a slang statement, a full-fledged noun was formed. And now the word "nyaka" shares the meaning with another form, basedwhich contains the suffix -shk-, but the meaning does not change at all.
Love for beauty
The term spread among anime people, and then migrated to the common youth language. At the same time, it carries two main interpretations:
- nice person, some nice thing;
- cosplay or animation fan.
In the first case, there is a maximum convergence with the traditional "paw", "honey". They mean a bright bright personality, whose presence gives joy and simply decorates the surrounding space. This can be said about a loved one, a good friend. Or a realistic painting, an artfully arranged bouquet in a painted vase.
The second option has a narrower focus. Love for bright images is often reflected in the appearance of a fan. Hairstyle, makeup, manner of communication, elements of clothing - many things make it possible to call him cute in the most positive sense.
Daily communication
The word is devoid of negative connotations. People who use it talk about something bright, kind, pleasant. For them, nyaka is a positive concept, the embodiment of all that is good. There is no need to be offended when you hear an extraordinary definition addressed to you.
On the other hand, you need to be aware of the stereotypes and vocabulary of other people. Due to the consonance with "byaka", other ambiguous concepts from the languages of the post-Soviet countries, misunderstanding is possible. A cryptic set of letters may seem silly oroffensive, so it is undesirable to use it when the interlocutor is not familiar with youth culture.
