Rugare

[JasonNPato]

Sai, quando sono libero tutto il giorno, la cosa assurda è avere un sacco di tempo per stare insieme e doverla lasciare per conto suo perché deve studiare, fare i compiti ecc. e mi ruga

what is "e mi ruga"? The rest is clear, but I don't know this last phrase.
Thank you for your help.

Thanks, Winnie. I did not know it either!

Is it typical of the North?

i really don't know but if you search for it on Garzanti Linguistica you'll find it, so it wouldn't be a regionalism... i guess!

Actually, it says dial., which I suppose is dialettale, isn't it?

 

[winnie]

i didn't notice it it says vulgar too

more investigation is needed!

really? wow...that's not what I wanted to say at all. I didn't want to say that "it got on my nerves."
I wanted to say that I am sorry that I bother her...I guess I should've been more clear in my original.

 

[Elisa68]

I do not think it is your fault. That was just an interpretation and a suggestion to rephrase your sentence, but you can stick to the translation of the original where the meaning was clear!

(I hope the meaning of my sentence is clear, too!!!)

Oh, well, it's not something you would say while talking to your granny, just because it's slang, I thought you were addressing a friend, explaining how you feel. It sounded natural, that's all.

definition It becomes vulgar if it's meant to be, especially in conjunction with other words.

IMO "mi ruga" is a sort of old-fashioned slang expression...a more updated one is "non ci sto dentro"

Ha! I missed your oldfashioned slang

good to know...I will use caution when I use the word.
But to clarify, is it sort of like saying "that pisses me off"?

 

[Silvia]

The meaning is the same, though it's not as strong as that.
