Five expressions with the word God, you have to know in Russian. And the truth is that you may not be very religious or not religious at all, but these expressions are very common and practically everybody uses them in Russian. Number one, oboze, which means "Oh God". Actually, the Russian word for God is boch. Yes, it's spelled boch, but pronounced boch. But in expression oboze, it's actually used in the vocative case. Yes, Russian actually has a seventh case called vocative, which is the case used when you call out to someone. But don't worry, guys, this case is practically obsolete and you can only find it in a couple of words in Russian these days. Like boze. Expression number two, slava bogu, which means "thank God". Literally, though, it means "Glory to God". T-G-I-S. Well, actually, "Sivodnya subota". T-G-I-S. Expression number three, "Niday boch", which means "God forbid". So you say that when you don't want something to happen. For example, "Niday boch tolls night". God forbid someone finds out. Expression number four, "Day boch", which is the opposite of "Niday boch". So "Day boch" means "God willing". So that's about something you do want to happen. Like if your friend says, "Oh, I hope I get this job", you can say, "Day boch", "God willing". And expression number five is "Sbogum", which literally means "with God". So basically, you're saying, "May God be with you. May God help you". Like if someone has an important job into you or exam, you can tell them, "Well, let's go with God".
