| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:32 | comment | added | Mithical | @Vylix - yes, essentially. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:26 | comment | added | Vylix | @ArwenUndómiel so in this case, they don't actually know the meaning of f-word, and you would like them to know it's offensive to you? Is that enough? | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:23 | comment | added | Mithical | @Vylix - my question is how to get it across to them that what they are saying is rude to me. It's specifically about getting it across to someone who, because of the way the language adopted the word, does not understand the meaning of it to me, as an English speaker. I do not think that this is a duplicate. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:20 | comment | added | Vylix | I believe this is duplicate to the first one. If you however disagree, can you explain the difference? This might be because the Israeli culture, maybe? Although I don't think there's any difference when dealing with people swearing everywhere: "it's not your business". | |

| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:12 | comment | added | Mithical | It's used as an expletive. "Oof, I let the ball through! F***!" | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:11 | comment | added | Erik | That makes it quite a bit harder, because it's basically a Hebrew word now, and it probably means something different. Have you asked them what the word means in Hebrew? | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:07 | comment | added | Mithical | It's been essentially incorporated into Hebrew. But it's still offensive to me personally. | |
| Sep 8, 2017 at 10:02 | comment | added | Erik | Are they using the words in English sentences, or have they incorporated the word into their own language? | |
