So what is it? A brat is somebody who always wants to get their way or else they have a tantrum. A beggar is somebody who doesn't have anything and lives on the streets. You can't just pull words off of Reverso, not knowing what they really mean, and hope that they're going to work, because it has a lot of obscure references from old English books, or movies that have language that no one uses anymore or that reflects the speech of a specific group in a specific region.

I translated "нищеброд" in its proper sense

So it's a beggar. And what does "scanty purse" mean - that just means that someone's purse is half empty, it doesn't refer to a person - at least not in Modern English.

As to the "scanty purse" - I found it in the dictiobary. It appears, it doesn't work (

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 9 лет назад

No, I'm afraid not :(

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 9 лет назад

at least we narrowed it down to what it really means: beggar.

If you put a gun to my head and asked me what any of Tatiana's words mean, I'd be dead.

Everybody can become a victim of the wrong dictionaries)
