Finishing up some classics

they had no licence for selling liquor but there are these new drugs that arent banned yet that they put in milk you can mix it with an opiate a psychedelic an adrenaline or one of two others which give you a nice fifteen minutes contemplating god with visuals all around you

What context? Am I supposed to research if first or something? Bear in mind that this is the second page, and the reader has read nothing more than the title and page 1

thank you, but I would never have thought of this. What am I doing wrong that makes me not understand it, whilst everyone else automatically can?

two things to my advantage: i've read the book and i've seen the movie. but i struggled through it just as you are. it's jarring at first. the point is not to be readily read. the point is to immerse you in the language until you get a feel for it and begin to comprehend without necessarily word for word understanding. it's a lot like picking up bits of a foreign language, it's also a lot like reading Shakespear's english, much of Clockwork Orange's language is punning or ironic slang.

this is the information I needed

thanks man, genuinely appreciate it

I know russian so understanding nadsat was quite easy for me.

It's written in a constructed youth slang. It's supposed to be alienating.

>it's a lot like picking up bits of a foreign language
It literally is picking up bits of Russian

He is lower than a pseud. He is - may Allah forgive me for uttering this word - a brainlet.

You're an idiot.

LOL imagine how low IQ you would be to not understand this sentence. How the fuck do you understand any media set in the future where they use new words?

There are glossaries for brainlets like you. I'm sure your book also has one at the end but you were too stupid to look for it.

People like you are so obnoxious. I'm not OP btw

The context is selling and drinking liquor you absolute retard, it's literally in the same sentence.

Here you go. The idiots guide to a clockwork orange. en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:A_Clockwork_Orange

How do you get on with reading Joyce with all the Latin thrown in or the French in any 19th century Russian? Do you just skip the bits in foreign language? It's really not hard to work out what they're saying in context.

There is literally context before and after the highlighted portion. You are just a low-IQ troglodyte who has sub-par reading skills (i.e. the inability to interpret context clues).

I read this book in middle school and could pick up the made-up sland easily. How old are you? I bet you're in your 20's. This is just sad. It's heart-breaking to realize there are people in the world as clueless as you.

People who are not able to deduct the meaning of words from their context or able to look up words and instead create a thread starting with "finishing off some classics" are even more annoying.

Imagine having all the available resources so easily accessible and yet resorting to posting on here.

Never go full retard.

Lol who has trouble understanding a clockwork orange, it’s like junior high tier

use your imagination dude habe fun with it

> westoids not understanding massacred russian pidgin
the nadsat slang is far better in russian translation btw. more variety and fitting jargon.

In the context and if necessary with the aid of the dictionary at the back.

>clinically retarded
>death grips fag
checks out

>made up
they're russian words
the book is so much easier if you know even a little bit of russian
>bog = god
>moloko = milk
>mozg = brain
>i have literally no clue what the fuck veshches is supposed to be

jesus man, I read this book the other day and it was one of the easiest reads in a while, it cuts like butter

How do they translate it into Russian? Invent another pidgin that mixes in English words as slang?

>i have literally no clue what the fuck veshches is supposed to be
I think it just means "things"
