Misunderstanding arises between generations due to differences in interests. Grandparents prefer musical 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 the “nanny” is a consequence of an enthusiastic attitude to oriental culture. Is it worth scolding a child because of the use of an incomprehensible word, how appropriate is it in a decent society?
Kittens talking
No need to worry in vain! The source of the original combination of letters was universal favorites, cats. In the language of the Land of the Rising Sun, a set of hieroglyphs ニ ャ ー means the standard Russian "meow", the basis of the cat’s vocabulary. Thanks to the specific images inherent in the anime, expressions with a colorful insert are associated with cute girls. Therefore, neologism, interjection arose, which indicates the speaker’s feelings:
- Delight;
- admiring;
- tenderness.
From a slang utterance a full noun was formed. And now the word "nyaka" shares the meaning with another form, which is based on the suffix -shk-, but the meaning does not change at all.
Love of beauty
The term spread among animeshnikov, and then migrated to a common youth language. It has two main interpretations:
- nice man, some nice thing;
- a fan of cosplay or animation.
In the first case, there is a maximum rapprochement with the traditional "paw", "paw". They mean a bright, bright personality, whose presence gives joy and simply decorates the surrounding space. So you can say about a loved one, about a good friend. Or about a realistic picture, skillfully assembled bouquet in a painted vase.
The second option has a narrower focus. Love for vivid images is often reflected in the appearance of the fan. Hairstyle, makeup, manner of communication, elements of clothing - many things make it possible to call him a nanny in the most positive sense.
Everyday communication
The word has no negative connotation. People using it are talking about something bright, kind, pleasant. For them, a nanny is a positive concept, the personification of all the best. There is no need to be offended by hearing an extraordinary definition addressed to you.
On the other hand, it is necessary to remember the stereotypes and vocabulary of other people. Due to the consonance with the “byak” and other ambiguous concepts from the languages of the post-Soviet countries, misunderstanding is possible. A mysterious set of letters may seem silly or offensive, so it is undesirable to use it when the person you are talking to is new to youth culture.
