подмышка
Appearance
Russian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]под- (pod-, “under”) + мы́шка (mýška, “"mouse", meaning "muscle" (see мы́шца (mýšca) for more)”)
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]подмы́шка • (podmýška) f inan (genitive подмы́шки, nominative plural подмы́шки, genitive plural подмы́шек, relational adjective подмы́шечный)
- (anatomy) armpit, underarm
- Synonym: подмышечная я́мка (podmyšečnaja jámka)
- Я хочу́ ню́хать его́ волоса́тые подмы́шки.
- Ja xočú njúxatʹ jevó volosátyje podmýški.
- I want to sniff his hairy armpits.
Usage notes
[edit]- When preceded by the prefix под (pod, “under”), the first part of the word is omitted:
- Я несу портфель под мышкой. ― Ja nesu portfelʹ pod myškoj. ― I am carrying a briefcase in my armpit.
- Я положу этот мешок себе под мышку ― Ja položu etot mešok sebe pod myšku ― I will put this bag in my armpit.
- This seems to be a historically, rather than grammatically, defined feature, since originally the main form was simply мышка. This historical noun is still present in other Slavic languages, cf. Macedonian мишка (miška).
