Russian Translation(s) & Details for 'withdrawn'

English Word: withdrawn

Key Russian Translations:

• замкнутый [zəmˈknutɨj] - [Adjective, Informal, Often used in everyday contexts to describe personality traits]
• отозванный [ɐtɐzˈvanɨj] - [Adjective, Formal, Used in official or legal contexts, such as product recalls]
• изъятый [ɪzˈjɑtɨj] - [Adjective, Neutral, Commonly applied in administrative or financial scenarios, e.g., withdrawn funds]

Frequency: Medium (The word and its translations appear regularly in literature, conversations, and media, but not as common as basic vocabulary.)

Difficulty: B1 (Intermediate level; requires understanding of Russian adjective inflections and contextual usage. For 'замкнутый', it's B1; for more formal ones like 'отозванный', it might edge toward B2.)

Pronunciation (Russian):

замкнутый: [zəmˈknutɨj]

Note on замкнутый: The stress is on the second syllable; be careful with the soft 'т' sound, which can be tricky for English speakers. Variations in casual speech might soften the vowels.

отозванный: [ɐtɐzˈvanɨj]

Note on отозванный: Pronounce the 'о' as a schwa; this word often has a more clipped ending in rapid speech.

изъятый: [ɪzˈjɑtɨj]

Note on изъятый: The 'ъ' is a hard sign and doesn't affect pronunciation directly, but it indicates a hard consonant; focus on the 'й' sound, similar to 'y' in "yes".

Russian Forms/Inflections:

All listed translations are adjectives, which inflect based on gender, number, and case in Russian. They follow standard adjective patterns, with some irregularities in certain forms.

These adjectives are regular in most cases but may vary slightly in poetic or archaic usage. If the word is used as a past passive participle, it can function like a verb form, but here it's primarily adjectival and unchanging in base meaning.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms:
  • замкнутый: застенчивый (more about shyness; often used interchangeably in casual speech)
  • отозванный: отозванный (no direct perfect synonym, but отмененный for canceled items)
  • изъятый: снятый (specifically for financial withdrawals; slight difference in formality)
• Antonyms:
  • замкнутый: общительный (outgoing, sociable)
  • отозванный: утвержденный (approved, not withdrawn)
  • изъятый: добавленный (added, as opposed to removed)

Related Phrases:

• изъятые средства - Means "withdrawn funds," typically in banking or financial discussions.

Usage Notes:

The English word "withdrawn" corresponds closely to Russian adjectives like "замкнутый" for personality traits, but be cautious with context—use "отозванный" or "изъятый" for formal or transactional meanings. In Russian, these words are sensitive to gender and case, so always inflect them according to the noun they modify. For example, choose "замкнутый" in informal settings and "отозванный" in official documents. If multiple translations apply, select based on the specific nuance: psychological for "замкнутый," legal for "отозванный."

Common Errors:

• Mistake: Using "замкнутый" in formal contexts like business; Correct: Opt for "отозванный" instead, e.g., Incorrect: "Замкнутый продукт" (sounds odd); Correct: "Отозванный продукт" – Explanation: "Замкнутый" implies personality, not removal.
• Mistake: Forgetting to inflect for case, e.g., saying "изъятый деньги" instead of "изъятые деньги"; Correct: Always match the adjective to the noun's gender, number, and case for grammatical accuracy.
• Mistake: Confusing with similar words like "закрытый" (closed); Correct: "Закрытый" means physically closed, not emotionally withdrawn; use "замкнутый" for personality.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian culture, words like "замкнутый" often carry a neutral or even positive connotation, linked to the value of introspection in literature (e.g., in works by Dostoevsky, where withdrawn characters represent depth). However, in modern urban settings, it might imply social awkwardness, reflecting cultural shifts toward more extroverted ideals.
