Alexandra - Beginning Chechen Scene

[MrChechen4life]

I think checens are the grandsons of noah. That is what the word noxchi mean

[orduni90]

Chechnyan ppl are cool! i proud to say that there is a lotta Chechnyans and Circassians livin in my country of Jordan!

[Stettina81]

Stupid question?

Are Chechens related to Russians or are they Arabs?

[mashinuugnali]

Chechens are not related to russians nore to Arabs.

But we are Muslims.

[itzSandog]

Neither. They are from the Caucasus like Georgians, Armenians, and Lehzginks. They are Caucasians (and proud of it!)

[heero171]

@itzSandog They are an Iranian people as well (though they are ethnically Caucasus, their language is in the Indo-Iranian branch)

Well, their are many groups that are Caucasus, but that ergion has the most diverse ethnic combination in the world.. even for such a small area.

That's cool that you're interested in the Chechen language. =] I'm Chechen, and I have to say, it is pretty hard though. I want to learn Russian.

[icefaxi]

ho noxcho vui? :) har dik du.. as noxchijn mott 1amoban.. mashAllah :)

[SooBeautyFull]

yu der so noxchi. =] But I didn't get what this meant - "as noxchijn mott 1amoban"

I was trying to sound it out and everything, but I'm not sure what you were trying to say. Where you trying to say that you would teach the language to a Chechen person? ..

Anyways, ho mukh wu/yu?

[jkircher314]

Could you please post more of it?

Thanks.

[icefaxi]

I will try, been busy these days. But yeah when I free up some time I will try cropping some more scenes. It is a hard movie to find too, at least here in Iceland it was...

[jkircher314]

It's impossible to find in US or UK.

Thank you so much.

[icefaxi]

oh, but its very possible to find in Iceland :D thats strange haha

[jkircher314]

Does your copy have English subtitles?

Glad to hear that Iceland appreciates great directors like Alexander Sokurov.

[jkircher314]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I wish I could see the entire film.

[icefaxi]

yeah man, its really a good film and very artsy...really shows a neutrality point between Chechens and Russians

[icefaxi]

well sorry, i only speak Chechen, not Russian. :)

[NoxchiClub]

Chto za film podskazhite!

[ness19dsm]

You have misinterpreted the scene: the chechen is offereing to carry her bag, but she doesn't need that, since she doesn't know where to go, so she asks soldiers directions to where her son-soldier is located in their military camp.

While one solier is answering her question, the other is not telling chechen to bugger off, but is asking him for cigaretes, and chechen says that he doesn't smoke.
