Alex sv, have and get are not the same...

Вы имеете ввиду буквальный перевод: найти улику; получить ключ к разгадке; понять намёк ?

Я имею в виду, что have это уже иметь что-то, уже знать, а get - приобрести, заполучить, то есть Узнать, РАЗузнать.

Got it!

👍

Вот тут есть кое какие примеры: http://context.reverso.net/%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4/%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B3%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D1%80%D1%83%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9/get+a+clue

Katerina, please disregard the explanation provided by WS. It’s completely incorrect. This is an imperative given to someone who isn’t reading between the lines and thus says something they shouldn’t: (Amy, a teenager, comes home and finds her parents in the kitchen) FATHER: Amy, that Jamie boy from down the street came looking for you. I told him you went to the dentist to get your braces tightened. (Amy starts crying and runs out of the kitchen). MOTHER: Hugh! How can you be so insensitive! Don’t you see she likes him? Get a clue!

“I don’t get a clue” 🤦‍♀️ You illiterate moron, you.

Зачем же сразу оскорблять!😤

Alex, with all due respect, you don’t have a clue about what’s going on here between W.S., aka the Professor, and other members of this community, so please just stay out of it, will you? Thanks.

Это старая война?

И она уже перешла на штыки?

ЖОстко тут у вас! 😎

That’s not a war. That’s just a few people here trying to prevent this person from deliberately spreading his idiotic version of “English” among other members of this community. Especially among dozens of newbies here.

To get a better clue (yes, dear Professor, I’m perfectly aware of how to PROPERLY use this expression), you just go check his profile:))

It's empty! 🤔

No, Alex, it’s definitely not empty.

У меня не открывается. Опять Лингво глючит

I don’t use the site, only the app

So I do

LingvoApp is down again! Oops!

“So do I”

Got it 🙄

😊👍

Alex, you’re adding to the confusion with your translation. HAVE GOT means to HAVE, but that’s not the form in this post. It’s simply GET. Please remove your translation and example - don’t further the confusion created by WS. Thank you!

Katerina, if you gave WS that heart, please remove it - he is misleading learners with his answer and doesn’t need to be rewarded. He gets hearts when he’s correct - this is not one of those cases.

Katerina, if could give us the context in which you saw this phrase, that would really be a big help in clearing up its usage and meaning.

Del👌

Санта-Барбара! 😎

She began to talk nonsence again.
My name is not Logan Paul.
I didn't write the lyrics of the song Why don't we (2017).
A passage from the song is as follows:
… Girl what you trying to do
'Cause I don't got a clue
No, I ain't no Scooby Doo
(Help me help you)…
So, dear Olga I wrote the explanation not for abusing you. The explanation is for learners. Learners must understand edgy modern English.
The explanation is from an influential text about the modern usage printed in the UK not long ago.
Though, you don't want to know anything beyond your inner sense of English for camping around with your scandalous personality. Not so good.

Katerina, this phrase is a way of accusing someone of being CLUELESS: http://context.reverso.net/translation/english-russian/clueless

WS: Sorry, but that is an example of the worst, most ungrammatical English imaginable. Just because it’s in a song doesn’t make it correct or acceptable - just listen to any rap song today. Olga is right as rain as usual. LEARNERS BEWARE and disregard everything WS has published. WS, Olga knows more English than you have forgotten... if you had half a brain, you would LEARN from her, rather than question or berate her.

Uly, are you the XIX-th century usage hard-liner?

Sorry, I don’t understand your question.

I repeat once more, The passage is from an influential text about the modern British usage.

For understanding my texts you must know a word or two about history of grammar.

”I don’t GOT a clue” - fantastic! Real ”Modern English” invented somewhere in Russian Federation...

It's better for us to discuss your opinion on Get a clue! It's something.

Alex, I didn't write this song. The author is not from the RF.) As it seems.

Sorry, guys. I am busy now. I hope I'll be back later with all the answers you need.

Вадим, нам не нужны никакие ответы, пощадите нас, пожалуйста!!!

Shove your so much needed answers deep into your asshole, Professor💪

This moronic song is THE ONLY EXAMPLE of “don’t get a clue”. And only an idiot like you could seriously think that this bullshit can prove anything.

>> For understanding my texts you must know a word or two about history of grammar.

To understand your “texts” one needs to be nuts as a hatter😂

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND my WRITING/COMMENTS, you NEED TO know a THING or two about HISTORICAL GRAMMAR.

You’re a pathetic prick, my dearest Professor. You can preach your bullshit here as much as you want, I don’t give a fuck (and I’m not the only one here and deep in your tiny sick heart you know it). You can’t put two words together in English and still you dare to condescendingly teach me how to write and speak it. You’re arguing with a native speaker who happens to be a REAL linguist and has a DEGREE IN ENGLISH LINGUISTICS AND HAS BEEN WORKING AS A TRANSLATOR FOR 30 YEARS. You’re sick and the funny thing is that you know it but still you can’t stop and keep coming here. That says a lot.

Don’t let him get to you, sweetie, that’s exactly what he wants. I’ve been very fair with him; when he gives a correct translation, I give him a heart. When he’s wrong, I explain the problem. I don’t care if he accepts it or not - I do it for the people who want to learn. For some reason, Vadim feels that he’s impervious to correction or instruction - that’s his prerogative. Looking at his English, it’s pathetic to think that he can teach anyone English, much less me.

Oops, they let themselves go again.Some kind of aggressive dim-witted ignorance.Hey, many read it.Please think about the choice of words.The time is for changing themselves to better a little.

Oh my god 🤣🤣🤣

Every fucking sentence is a gem 🤣

Olga, there is no either example only in your perception that still rankles

The usage of 'I get a clue' and 'I didn't get a clue' has been known in English since the beginning of XIX century.

I've met such a linguist for the first time. Sorry

You, moron, “I didn’t get a clue” and “I don’t get a clue” ARE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS! One exists and the other doesn’t!

I GET A CLUE as the title of that book (and a stupid title at that!) means that the girl is a detective and she FINDS a clue regarding a mystery she’s investigating. Completely different scenario and horrible example.

When trying to prove something you don’t quite understand, dear Professor, try not to forget that it can backfire.

>> I've met such a linguist for the first time. Sorry

Go visit your doctor, Professor. Has he already written his thesis based on your unique condition?

“Such a linguist” is “such a non-native way of saying “this kind of linguist”, you clown.

Guys, what the heck are you going to prove? Save your energy for something more decent than trying to talk a polar bear into buying a GE fridge.

Such a linguist is such non-native way of saying.!!! Dumdheads.

Кто-нибудь может первый закончить эту бодягу?
У меня уже весь ящик с комментариями забит этими экскрементами.

I’m sorry, Alex. Only because you asked:)

Thank you so much!
