🤯 Ничего себе!
[ nichivo seebe ]
🇬🇧 Wow! Amazing! Golly gee!

🇬🇧 English is not the most expressive language when it comes to showing our excitement about something.
🇷🇺 Russian, on the other hand, is.

🔻Many terms in Russian that express awe are idioms that don’t translate literally, but they all have different levels of excitement and meaning.

🔻For instance, the phrase “ничего себе!” literally means “nothing for myself!” but is used as a way of saying “I can’t believe it!”

🔻Here are some other fun ways to show how amazed you are at something:

😲 Вот это да!
[ vot eto da ]
🇬🇧 Wow! (Literally: “Here this yes!”)

😳 Надо же!
[ nada zhe ]
🇬🇧 Wow! (Literally: “It’s needed!”)

😯 Да ты что!
[ da ty shto ]
🇬🇧 Wow, I don’t believe you! (Literally: “Yes you that!”)
