意思
To be honest and blunt.
文化背景
In Russia, 'saying it straight' is often a prerequisite for a deep friendship. If you are too polite for too long, a Russian might think you are being 'fake' or 'cold.' In Russian business, 'saying it straight' can save time. While Westerners might use a 'compliment sandwich,' Russians often prefer to start with the problem. Many Russian literary heroes (like Bazarov in 'Fathers and Sons') are defined by their refusal to speak in social niceties, preferring to 'сказать прямо.' On Russian Telegram channels, 'Скажу прямо' is a common way for influencers to start a 'hot take' or a controversial opinion.
Use it to interrupt
If someone is talking too much without getting to the point, you can politely say: 'Извините, а можно сказать прямо?'
Don't overdo it
