• Своей головой надо думать! (Present tense) or • Своей головой надо было думать! (Past tense) [sva-yey ga-la-voy na-da (by-la) du-mat'] SLT: With your own head one should think (should have thought)! Meaning: You should use (should have used) your head! Think before you act! 🔻This phrase is used when someone has made a mistake or done something foolish because they didn't think it through. 💢Russian sometimes gets a bit more colourful! There's a more vulgar⚠️, but very expressive, way to say the same thing: • Головой надо думать, а не тем местом, на котором сидишь (попой/жопой)! You need to think with your head, and not with the place you sit on (your ass) / Think with your head, not your butt! ->❤️ if you find this post useful! #spoken_Russian #useful_vocabulary 😎RCRussian | Support | Boost
