тђлия | waist |
NB Тђлия "waist" vs. пћяс "waist." These synonyms have different combinatory properties. The word пћяс "waist" is used to indicate the level of something, e.g. гћлый до пћяса "naked to the waist," водђ по пћяс "water up to one's waist," etc. Such expressions are not used with тђлия "waist." On the other hand, the word тђлия is used in expressions which describe the shape of that part of the body: тћнкая тђлия "a slim waist," џзкая тђлия "a narrow waist," etc. The word пћяс is not used in such constructions (except for the expression тћнкий в пћясе "small-waisted"). |
