Questions & Answers about Скинь мне, пожалуйста, адрес парикмахера в чате.

What does Скинь literally mean, and is it slang?

Скинь is the informal singular imperative (to ты) of скинуть (perfective). Literally it’s to throw off / to drop, but in everyday speech it very often means to send (a file, link, contact info, address) quickly—roughly like “drop me…” / “send me…”. It’s quite colloquial.

Which verb is this: скинуть or скидывать? Why that choice?

The base verb here is скинуть (perfective). Perfective is used because the speaker wants one completed action: send it once.
Imperfective скидывать would be used for repeated/ongoing meaning, e.g. Скидывай, когда сможешь (“Send it whenever you can,” implying not a single, bounded action).

Why is it мне and not я / меня?

мне is the dative case of я (“to me”). With verbs of giving/sending in Russian, the recipient is commonly in the dative:

• Скинь мне = “Send (it) to me.”

меня (accusative/genitive) would be used for “me” as a direct object (“see me,” “call me,” etc.), not as the recipient.

What case is адрес, and why?

адрес is the direct object of Скинь (“send [what?]”), so it’s in the accusative. For inanimate masculine nouns like адрес, the accusative form looks the same as nominative: адрес.

Why is it адрес парикмахера (genitive)? Does it mean “the hairdresser’s address”?

Yes. парикмахера is genitive singular of парикмахер and expresses a relationship like “of the hairdresser” / “the hairdresser’s”:

• адрес (кого?) парикмахера = “the hairdresser’s address.”

It’s the normal Russian way to say whose address/contact info it is.

Does адрес here mean a street address, or can it be contact info (like a link/username)?

It can be either, depending on context. адрес can mean:

• a physical address (street/building), or
• an “address” in a broader sense (e.g., a link, an account handle), especially in online contexts.

If you want to be more specific, you might see адрес салона, контакты, ссылку, etc.

Why is пожалуйста surrounded by commas?

пожалуйста is a parenthetical politeness word here (“please”), so it’s commonly set off by commas:

• Скинь мне, пожалуйста, …

It can also appear without commas in some informal messages, but the comma version is the standard written punctuation.

Is this sentence informal? How would I make it more polite/formal?

It’s informal because Скинь is the ты imperative. For polite/formal (вы) you’d use:

• Скиньте мне, пожалуйста, адрес парикмахера в чате.

You could also choose a more neutral verb than скинуть, e.g. отправьте (“send”).

Why в чате and not в чат? Which one is more correct?

Both can be used, with a slight nuance:

• в чат (accusative) focuses on direction: “send it into the chat.”
• в чате (prepositional) focuses on location/platform: “send it in the chat (there).”

In real messaging Russian, в чате is very common when you mean “post/send it in our chat,” even though в чат is also very natural.

Is word order flexible here? Could I move parts around?

Yes, word order is flexible, and different orders shift emphasis. All of these are natural:

• Скинь мне, пожалуйста, адрес парикмахера в чате. (neutral)
• Скинь, пожалуйста, мне адрес парикмахера в чате. (slightly more emphasis on “to me”)
• Скинь мне адрес парикмахера, пожалуйста, в чате. (spoken, with pauses)

The core structure is still: verb + recipient (dative) + object + place.

Are there common alternatives to Скинь that sound less slangy?

Yes. Depending on tone:

• Отправь мне, пожалуйста, … (neutral everyday “send”)
• Пришли мне, пожалуйста, … (very common “send”)
• Скинь (most colloquial “drop/send quickly”)

All would work with the rest of the sentence.
