Abstract
The paper examines the issues of translating Russian expressive speech
formulae into Bulgarian. The study of the contexts of the use of the formula Nado
zhe! allows to distinguish between six meanings, presented as speech acts of expressing
specific emotions in response to the previous turn or the situation itself.
As a result of the analysis of Russian literary text and their translations into Bulgarian
a wide variability of interlingual correspondences is established, considering
the context of communication and the speaker’s intention. To choose the most
suitable equivalent, the translator should be focused both on conveying the pragmatic
function of the utterance and complying with the colloquial usage.
