Help with a Russian word? - savannah - 02-28-2013 01:45 AM Hey, can someone help me? what does "dvaju mat" mean? it's russian... - Vlad - 02-28-2013 01:50 AM it means that speaker admits s/he had sexual intercourse with your mother... - Jason - 02-28-2013 01:56 AM One of the "swear" expressions used, the only one close to English I can think of is "Your mum/mom" And yes, it does appeal to sexual intercourse with "your" mother. - Aleksander - 02-28-2013 01:58 AM Tvoyu mat' is an exclamatory phrase that can indicate a wide range of emotions: joy, anger, surprise, shock. E.g.: F**k, I've lost the wallet. \ Твою мать! Я кошелек потерял.
