Arms, weapons in Russian 🇷🇺

оружие info.

– Tips to remember the Russian word:
– Imagine an "arrow" (which kind of sounds like "oru") and a "geek" (which roughly sounds like "zhie") holding a weapon.
– Think of "or" and "zhie" as parts of the word "оружие," and picture a scenario where you have to choose ("or") a weapon ("zhie").

– Explanations:
– The word "оружие" (oruzhie) refers to any kind of weapon or armament.
– It is a general term that can apply to firearms, melee weapons, or even strategic assets.

– Other words that mean the same thing:
– "Вооружение" (vooruzhenie) – Armament.
– "Орудие" (orudie) – Typically refers to artillery or a tool, but can also mean weapon in some contexts.

– Alternate meanings/slang:
– In slang, "оружие" can sometimes metaphorically refer to something powerful or influential in a non-literal sense. For example, "знание — это оружие" (znaniye eto oruzhie), which means "knowledge is a weapon."

– Examples of sentences that use it:
– "Мое оружие — это мой ум."
*(Moyo oruzhie — eto moy um.)*
– "My weapon is my mind."
– "У него было холодное оружие в кармане."
