What do the Jews shout when they go on the attack. war cries

Of course, the most famous and replicated battle cry of the Russian troops is "Hurrah!" Historians are still arguing about where he came from. According to one version, "cheers" comes from the Tatar word "ur", which translates as "beat". This version deserves the right to exist, if only for the reason that the Russians throughout history have come into contact with the Tatar culture, our ancestors more than once had the opportunity to hear the battle cry of the Tatars. Let's not forget about the Mongol-Tatar yoke. However, there are other versions.
Some historians elevate our "cheers" to the South Slavic "urrra", which literally means "we will take over." This version is weaker than the first. Borrowings from the South Slavic languages ​​mainly concerned book vocabulary.

There are also versions that "hurray" comes from the Lithuanian "virai", which means "men", from the Bulgarian "urge", that is, "up", and from the Turkic exclamation "Hu Raj", which translates as "in paradise ". In our opinion, these are the most unlikely hypotheses.

Another version deserves special attention. It says that "hurray" came from the Kalmyk "uralan". In Russian it means "forward". The version is quite convincing, especially considering the fact that the first documented use of the "Hurrah" cry dates back to the time of Peter I. It was then that the irregular Kalmyk cavalry appeared in the Russian army, which used "Uralan" as a greeting.

In such an unsubstantiated case as the search for the origin of the war cry, of course, there were some pseudo-historical hypotheses. These include the version of the "historian" Mikhail Zadorny, who assures that "cheers" is nothing more than the praise of the Egyptian god of the sun Ra.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Battle cry- a loud call during the battle, designed to cheer up comrades, intimidate the enemy or seek support from higher powers. In addition, the battle cry was an identification mark that made it possible to distinguish friend from strangers in the thick of battle. Another useful function of the war cry is to create a sense of unity with comrades-in-arms (the so-called sense of comradeship).

An excerpt characterizing the battle cry

"That's when the fun begins," thought Anatole, and sat down with the old prince with a smile.
- Well, here's what: you, my dear, they say, were brought up abroad. Not the way the deacon taught us to read and write with your father. Tell me, my dear, are you now serving in the Horse Guards? asked the old man, looking closely and intently at Anatole.
“No, I joined the army,” answered Anatole, barely able to keep from laughing.
- A! good deal. Well, do you want, my dear, to serve the king and the fatherland? Military time. Such a young man must serve, must serve. Well, in the front?
- No, prince. Our regiment set out. And I'm counting. What am I, dad? Anatole turned to his father with a laugh.
- Nice service, nice. What do I count! Ha ha ha! Prince Nikolai Andreevich laughed.
And Anatole laughed even louder. Suddenly Prince Nikolai Andreevich frowned.
“Well, go ahead,” he said to Anatole.
Anatole again approached the ladies with a smile.
- After all, you brought them up abroad, Prince Vasily? A? - addressed old prince to Prince Vasily.
- I did what I could; and I will tell you that the upbringing there is much better than ours.
– Yes, now everything is different, everything is new. Well done little one! well done! Well, come to me.
He took Prince Vasily by the arm and led him into the office.
Prince Vasily, left alone with the prince, immediately announced to him his desire and hopes.
“What do you think,” the old prince said angrily, “that I am holding her, that I cannot part with her? Imagine! he said angrily. - To me at least tomorrow! I'll just tell you that I want to know my son-in-law better. You know my rules: everything is open! Tomorrow I'll ask you in front of you: if she wants, then let him live. Let him live, I'll see. The prince snorted.
“Let him go, I don’t care,” he shouted in that piercing voice with which he shouted at parting with his son.
“I’ll tell you straight out,” said Prince Vasily in the tone of a cunning man who was convinced of the need to cunning in front of the insight of his interlocutor. You can see right through people. Anatole is not a genius, but an honest, kind fellow, a wonderful son and dear.
- Well, well, well, we'll see.
As it always happens for single women who have lived for a long time without male society, when Anatole appeared, all three women in the house of Prince Nikolai Andreevich equally felt that their life had not been life before that time. The power to think, to feel, to observe instantly multiplied tenfold in all of them, and as if until now it had been taking place in darkness, their life was suddenly illuminated by a new light full of meaning.
Princess Mary did not think at all and did not remember her face and hairstyle. The handsome, open face of the man who might be her husband consumed all her attention. He seemed to her kind, brave, resolute, courageous and generous. She was convinced of it. Thousands of dreams about a future family life constantly arose in her imagination. She drove away and tried to hide them.
“But am I too cold with him? thought Princess Mary. - I try to restrain myself, because deep down I feel too close to him; but he does not know all that I think of him, and can imagine that he is unpleasant to me.
And Princess Mary tried and did not know how to be amiable with the new guest. "La pauvre fille! Elle est diablement laide," [Poor girl, she is devilishly ugly,] Anatole thought of her.
M lle Bourienne, also cocked by the arrival of Anatole on a high degree excitement, I thought in a different way. Of course, a beautiful young girl without a certain position in the world, without relatives and friends, and even a homeland, did not think to devote her life to the services of Prince Nikolai Andreevich, reading books to him and friendship with Princess Mary. M lle Bourienne has long been waiting for that Russian prince who will immediately be able to appreciate her superiority over Russian, bad, badly dressed, awkward princesses, fall in love with her and take her away; and this Russian prince finally arrived. M lle Bourienne had a story she heard from her aunt, finished by herself, which she liked to repeat in her imagination. It was a story about how a seduced girl imagined her poor mother, sa pauvre mere, and reproached her for having given herself to a man without marriage. M lle Bourienne often moved to tears, in her imagination telling him, the seducer, this story. Now this he, the real Russian prince, has appeared. He will take her away, then ma pauvre mere will appear, and he will marry her. This is how m lle Bourienne's whole future history took shape in her head, at the very time she was talking to him about Paris. It was not calculations that guided m lle Bourienne (she did not even think for a minute about what she should do), but all this had long been ready in her and now it was only grouped around the appeared Anatole, whom she wished and tried to please as much as possible.
The little princess, like an old regimental horse, having heard the sound of a trumpet, unconsciously and forgetting her position, prepared for the usual gallop of coquetry, without any ulterior motive or struggle, but with naive, frivolous fun.
Despite the fact that Anatole in women's society usually put himself in the position of a man who was tired of women running after him, he felt conceited pleasure, seeing his influence on these three women. In addition, he began to feel for the pretty and defiant Bourienne that passionate, bestial feeling, which came over him with extreme speed and prompted him to the most rude and daring deeds.
After tea, the company moved into the sofa room, and the princess was asked to play the clavichord. Anatole leaned his elbows in front of her beside m lle Bourienne, and his eyes, laughing and rejoicing, looked at Princess Marya. Princess Mary, with painful and joyful excitement, felt his gaze on her. Her favorite sonata transported her to the most sincerely poetic world, and the look she felt on herself gave this world even greater poetry. But Anatole's gaze, although fixed on her, did not refer to her, but to the movements of m lle Bourienne's foot, which at that time he was touching with his foot under the piano. M lle Bourienne also looked at the princess, and in her beautiful eyes there was also an expression of frightened joy and hope, new to Princess Mary.
“How she loves me! thought Princess Mary. How happy I am now, and how happy I can be with such a friend and such a husband! Really a husband? she thought, not daring to look at his face, feeling the same gaze fixed on herself.
In the evening, when after dinner they began to disperse, Anatole kissed the hand of the princess. She herself did not know how she had the courage, but she looked directly at the beautiful face that approached her short-sighted eyes. After the princess, he went up to the hand of m lle Bourienne (it was indecent, but he did everything so confidently and simply), and m lle Bourienne flushed and looked frightened at the princess.
"Quelle delicatesse" [What a delicacy,] - thought the princess. - Does Ame (that was the name of m lle Bourienne) really think that I can be jealous of her and not appreciate her pure tenderness and devotion to me. She went up to m lle Bourienne and kissed her hard. Anatole went up to the hand of the little princess.
– Non, non, non! Quand votre pere m "ecrira, que vous vous conduisez bien, je vous donnerai ma main a baiser. Pas avant. [No, no, no! When your father writes to me that you are behaving well, then I will let you kiss my hand. Not before.] - And, raising her finger and smiling, she left the room.

Everyone dispersed, and, except for Anatole, who fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed, no one slept that night for a long time.

You know about these calls, you often use them. Find out where they came from and what they mean.

Bar-rr-ra!!!

The cry of the Roman legionnaires. So they imitated the cry of elephants. The cry was rarely used, mainly to cheer up newcomers or on the battlefield with a very weak enemy - to smear him mentally without raising the sword.

“Why elephants?” the curious reader will ask. This is because the Romans found elephants to be strong and powerful animals. And they also understood: if the enemy is superior in strength and weapons, then they “bar-rr-ra!” - like a dead poultice.

No passaran!

Famous call. But not everyone knows his story. So: imagine the year 1916, the First World War. German troops clashed with the French at Verdun. Bloody battle. The French general Robert Nivel shouted out the phrase “on ne passe pas!” (no one will pass! “) and rushed to the battlefield to cut down the enemy.

This phrase was heard and actively used by the artist Maurice Louis Henri Newmont - he painted it on all propaganda posters. A year later, the phrase "on ne passe pas" became the battle cry of all French soldiers, and then Romanian.

In 1936, “they will not pass!” sounded in Madrid - from the lips of the Spanish communist Dolores Ibarruri. In Spanish, the phrase is “No pasaran!”. It was Spain that immortalized the already legendary battle cry. But slightly different sounding.

“No pasaran!”, by the way, often rumbled in World War II, and even in the civil wars of Central America.

Allah Akbar!

Painfully familiar Arabic expression meaning "Allah is great." It had nothing to do with war until the Muslims took up arms and began to die in the name of their god.

Banzai!

In the 7th-10th centuries AD, China was ruled by the Tang Dynasty. The local residents greeted each other and especially the emperor with the phrase “wu huang wansui”, which in translation meant “may the emperor live for ten thousand years”.

Over the years, only the ending “wansui” remained from the phrase. Then the Japanese came running and borrowed it. But they pronounced it in their own way, it sounded like “banzei”. It meant the wish to live for many years.

And then came the 19th century, which changed the sound of the word. Now it was “banzai!”. And it was used not only in relation to the emperor, but also by Japanese soldiers during the Second World War. It was especially popular among kamikaze.


One old post: Warcries December 16th, 2015

Hello dear.
Working on the topic here popular expressions"I remembered that I have more posts, perhaps not familiar to fans of my blog. And the posts are interesting - I specially prepared them :-)) In 2013, I was chosen to watch for one day in Oleg Barmin's magazine freedom , and in order not to embarrass myself and not let Oleg down, I got a little confused :-) In general, I prepared 4 topics, and it seemed to me that they were not bad :-)))
So I decided to publish them myself. It's been more than a year and a half now :-)
I hope you find it interesting :-)

Since time is even earlier (everything in the world is relatively certain, as old Einstein used to say, but still .. nevertheless ...), then first of all, you should cheer up with something like that, from which the soul will first unfold, and then curl up into a tube . And I know such a remedy! Honestly! It's….(pause like before an Academy Award)…a battle cry! Yes, darlings, you heard right! I suggest that everyone urgently move away from their four-legged friends (well, there are chairs, couches, sofas, and not what you thought about) slowly and with dignity to stand up, clear your throat, take in more air into your lungs and announce the walls of the room surrounding you with a loud and joyful battle cry. Happened? Are you happier and happier? That's it! Uncle id77 will not advise bad only stupid.

Well, now, while colleagues, relatives and relatives, and just strangers frantically dial 03 and call orderlies with a straitjacket, we have time to figure out a little about what a battle cry is ... and what it is eaten with.


They have already left for you.

If you believe various dictionaries and reference books (and there is no reason not to believe in this particular issue), then a battle cry is a loud call, cry or exclamation before, after or during a battle, with the goal of: a) cheering up comrades in arms, b) distinguishing friends from strangers, c) intimidate and (or) humiliate the enemy, d) create a feeling of unity of all of their own, and e) turn to the Mountain Forces for support.

When and from which people the battle cry appeared for the first time, it is not possible to find out in principle, even if you really, really want to. If only because, in my humble opinion, the first battle cry originated with the first armed conflict between clans or tribes. And the ancient Egyptians had their own cries, and the Greeks and the Romans. This topic has not been ignored by the most frequently published book in the history of our planet - the Bible. Here is an offhand Exodus, 32:17 - "And Jesus heard the voice of the noisy people and said to Moses: A cry of war in the camp." In general, you understand, the topic is old.

It is quite understandable and natural that for each nation, ethnic group, group, these war cries or, as the ancient Irish and Scots would say, slogans, were different.


Is it weak to shout at the Na'vi?

What battle cry first comes to mind is, of course, our domestic "Hurrah". Good cry, short, powerful, in general healthy! But where it came from and what it means exactly is difficult to say. There are several main versions, and everyone can choose the one that he likes best. Version 1 - the famous Russian cry came from Tatar word"ur" - that is, bey. Version 2 - "urrra" - is a South Slavic term for the term "take over". Version 3 - from the Lithuanian word "virai (vir)" - "husbands, men, boys" ...

Version 4-Bulgarian term "Urge" - that is, "up, up". Version 5 - from the Turkic exclamation "Hu Raj", which can be translated as "In Paradise!". And finally, version 6 - from the Kalmyk "Uralan!" (remember, probably, still such a football club), which translates as "forward." me this latest version likes more than anything. Somehow it is closer to reality, and it began to be used in the Russian troops under Peter, who heard how the irregular Kalmyk cavalry greeted each other and him with this cry.


“Friend of the steppes” (c) Uralan shouts joyfully!

Whatever it was, this combat slogan turned out to be so successful that the Germans “hurra!” began to use it through the Russian troops. and the English "hurray", and the French "hurrah!", and the Italians "Urra!"

It is clear and natural that the rolling “Hurrah!” not the only battle cry in the world. Here are some other very famous ones:
"Alla!"(God) - so the soldiers of the Ottoman Empire shouted
"Aharai!"- (Follow me!) in Hebrew - the battle cry of the ancient Jews
"Bar-rr-ah!"- the cry of the Roman legionnaires, in imitation of the trumpet cry of war elephants
"Marga!"(kill!) - the battle cry of the Sarmatians
"Montjoie!" and "Saint Denis"(abbreviated from "Mont-joie Saint-Denis" - "Our protection is Saint Dionysius") - these were the cries of the Franks
"Nobiscum Deus"(God is with us!) - so the Byzantines shouted
"Caelum denique!"(Finally to heaven!) and "Deus vult"(God wants it) - the war cries of the crusaders.
"Bosean!"- the cry of the poor knights of the Order of the Temple of Solomon, who are commonly called the Templars.


Meet Bossean! No, not a man ... that's what the banner is called

"Santiago!"("Saint James with us"!) - the call of the Spanish caballeros during the Reconquista, and also the conquistadors shouted like that
"Alba gu brath"("Scotland forever")! - the war cry of the Scottish fighters
"Saryn on a kitchka!"- the cry of the earmen
"Rebel yell"- the battle cry of the Confederates during civil war in USA.
"Forwarts!"- "Forward" - so shouted the Prussians and Austrians.
"Alga!"(forward) - the cry of the ancient Kyrgyz, as well as the Kazakhs. There is even an anecdote when a Kyrgyz is asked how his ancient ancestors (and they were settled throughout Siberia and had great influence and power) went on the attack? He answers - they shouted "Alga!". Then they ask him - how did they retreat? He thought for a few seconds and says - they turned the horses in the other direction and shouted "Alga!"
"Horrido!"- experts of the Luftwaffe (named after St. Horridus, the patron saint of pilots).
"Branzulet"! - the cry of the Romanian border guards
"Savoy!"(in honor of the ruling dynasty), the Italians shouted until the end of World War II.

I wonder if he managed to shout Horrido!...

All of the above calls have basically already sunk into oblivion and now, if used, it is extremely, extremely rare. Unlike the ones I list below:
"Allah Akbar"(God is great) - everything is clear here
"Banzai"- (10,000 years). An ancient and still used battle cry of the Japanese. Most often they shout "Geika banzai!", which can literally be translated as "Many years to the emperor!"
The same thing (about 10,000 years) is shouted by the Koreans (both southern and northern), as well as the Chinese. Manse - the cry of the Koreans, wansui - the Chinese
"Jai Mahakali, Ayo Gorkhali!"- ("Glory to the Great Kali, the Gurkhas are coming!") - the battle cry of one of the most effective and cool units of the British army (and the Indian too), recruited from the men of the Gurkha tribe living in Nepal
Viva la France!- (Long live France!) - so the French shouted, shouted and will shout


Gurkhas….came….

"Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akal"- "Victory belongs to those who repeat the name of the Almighty!" - Sikhs.
"Ho-hoy!"- Kurds
"Sigidi!"- Zulus
"Hurra"- so the Finns shout
"To the knife!"- the cry of the Bulgarians
"Polundra!"- (from the Dutch fall - fall and onder - below) - this is the battle cry of all the sailors of the former 1/6 of the land.

The most interesting thing is that the US Army does not have an official battle cry. But some of its divisions have it. US Navy SEALs yell Hoo, but the paratroopers "Geronimo!" If everything is clear with the latter - this is the name of the leader of the Apaches, famous for his fearlessness, then with the former, not everything is clear. Most likely, their Hooah comes from the first letters as an answer to the team - heard and understood. By the way, if you are interested in how American special equipment differs from each other, I can advise you to go here: you never know, it will be interesting.


The stern Apache leader Geronimo is watching you...

In general, this is all I wanted to tell you about. I hope you haven't fallen asleep reading these lines. And now "attention is a question" (Vladimir Voroshilov's voice). Maybe any battle cries you use in Everyday life, moreover, self-composed and endowed with a special meaning. Share, feel free! Also, maybe I missed something, and you know something else from the battle cries of the peoples of the world. I will wait for your opinions.
Have a nice time of the day

"Polundra!"- (from the Dutch fall - fall and onder - below) - this is the battle cry of all the sailors of the former 1/6 of the land.

The most interesting thing is that the US Army does not have an official battle cry. But some of its divisions have it. US Navy SEALs yell Hoo, but the paratroopers "Geronimo!" If everything is clear with the latter - this is the name of the leader of the Apaches, famous for his fearlessness, then with the former, not everything is clear. Most likely, their Hooah comes from the first letters as an answer to the team - heard and understood. By the way, if you are interested in how American special equipment differs from each other, I can advise you to go here: http://id77.livejournal.com/78872.html You never know, it will be interesting.


The stern Apache leader Geronimo is watching you...

In general, this is all I wanted to tell you about. I hope you haven't fallen asleep reading these lines. And now "attention is a question" (Vladimir Voroshilov's voice). There may be some battle cries you use in everyday life, moreover, self-composed and endowed with a special meaning. Share, feel free! Also, maybe I missed something, and you know something else from the battle cries of the peoples of the world. I will wait for your opinions.
Have a nice time of the day
