futu-i

Romanian

Etymology

From futu +‎ îi, formed by combining futu ("I will fuck") and îi ("him/her"), with the initial "î" replaced by a hyphen to allow smoother pronunciation. Although originally a verbal structure, it has evolved into a fixed interjection in vulgar usage.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): [ˈfu.tuj]

Interjection

futu-i

1. (vulgar) fuck!

   Futu-i. Nu-mi vine să cred că iar s-a stricat imprimanta exact când aveam nevoie de ea!

   Fuck. I can’t believe the printer broke again right when I needed it!

Usage notes

Used only as a vulgar interjection to express dismay, frustration, or anger. It is often confused with futui, a verb meaning "I fucked", due to identical pronunciation, though their grammatical roles differ.
