A Ukrainian friend of mine told me about a Russian saying that

>>76611474
Moя хaтa c кpaю-ничeгo нe знaю.

>>76611529
So that would literally translate to
>My hut with edge--I know nothing.
Is that correct? I notice the word for village is not in there. Why not?

Also, is my interpretation of the proverb correct? Is it true that Ukrainians mind their own business too much?

>>76611474

This. ->

>>76611529

Literally: "My (hut) house is at the end of the village, (and) i don't want to know anything."

Meaning: "I don't care. Not my fucking business."

Forgive me, for my Russian is very bad, but I thought ничeгo нe знaю would mean "I know nothing" rather than "I do not want to know anything." Wouldn't "I don't want to know anything be "Ya ne khochu nichevo ne znayu"? Is there a reason you don't use the verb khochat? Also, why don't you use the word for village?

Aw shiiiiieet, I'm thrown-off by the double-negative every time. I though it was “I know not nothing”.

Yes if you translate literally, but then you lose the meaning of phrase.
>Wouldn't "I don't want to know anything be "Ya ne khochu nichevo ne znayu"
"Ne khochu nichego znat" will be correct
>Also, why don't you use the word for village?
Because it's not needed. Btw we quite often omit words
