意味
To say a lot of untrue things.
文化的背景
The number 'three' is sacred and hyperbolic in Russian culture. From 'three bogatyrs' to 'three wishes,' it often represents a complete or excessive set. 'Three baskets' is the ultimate measure of verbal excess. During the Soviet period, this phrase was a subtle way to criticize official propaganda. People would say the newspapers 'наговорили с три короба' about the harvest while the stores were empty. In the 90s, 'наговорить с три короба' was associated with 'financial pyramids' (like MMM) that promised huge returns. Today, it's used for 'infobusinessmen' (fake gurus). The 'короб' was a rural object. Using this phrase today connects the speaker to a 'down-to-earth' peasant logic that values physical goods over empty city talk.
Use with 'наобещать'
If you want to focus on broken promises specifically, 'наобещать с три короба' is more common than 'наговорить'.
Don't use with 'сказать'
You cannot say 'сказать с три короба'. The verb must imply a large quantity of speech (наговорить, наплести, наобещать).
