Сейчас мне не до разговоров: я хочу сначала спокойно закончить отчёт.

It’s an idiomatic Russian expression.

• не до + genitive means something like:
  • I’m not in the mood for...
  • This is not the time for...
  • I don’t have the headspace for...
  • I can’t deal with ... right now

So мне не до разговоров means:

• I’m not up for talking right now
• Now is not a good time for conversation
• I’m in no mood for разговоры

Literally, it may look strange if you try to map it word-for-word. It is better learned as a set pattern:

• мне не до шуток = I’m not in the mood for jokes
• ему не до сна = he’s in no mood to sleep / sleep is the last thing on his mind
• нам сейчас не до этого = we can’t deal with that right now

So yes, it is partly literal in form, but functionally it is an idiom-like construction.

Because this construction uses the dative case for the person experiencing the situation.

In Russian, many expressions are built like this:

• мне холодно = I am cold
• ему грустно = he is sad
• нам трудно = it is difficult for us
• мне не до разговоров = I’m not up for talking

So мне does not literally mean to me in natural English here. It marks the person affected by the state or circumstance.

If you said я не до разговоров, that would be ungrammatical.

Разговоров is the genitive plural of разговор.

This is because the pattern is:

• не до + genitive

So:

• не до разговора = not up for a conversation
• не до разговоров = not up for conversations / not up for talking

In this sentence, the plural sounds more natural and general. It means conversation in a broad sense, not one specific talk.

Here’s the noun change:

• nominative singular: разговор
• genitive singular: разговора
• nominative plural: разговоры
• genitive plural: разговоров

So разговоров is there because grammar requires genitive after не до, and the speaker is talking generally about conversation.

The plural makes the idea more general and idiomatic.

• не до разговора could suggest not up for this particular conversation
• не до разговоров means not up for talking at all, more broadly

Russian often uses the plural in expressions like this to talk about an activity or type of thing in general.

So in this sentence, разговоров gives the sense:

• I’m not in the mood for chatting
• I don’t want any talking right now

It sounds more natural here than the singular.

Yes, сейчас means now / right now / at the moment.

In this sentence, it sets the time frame for the whole statement:

• Сейчас мне не до разговоров = Right now, I’m not up for talking

It doesn’t necessarily mean this is always true. It means it is true at this moment.

Depending on context, сейчас can mean:

• now
• right now
• at the moment
• sometimes even in a moment / soon in other contexts

But here it clearly means at the moment.

The colon introduces the reason or explanation for the first clause.

So the structure is:

• I’m not up for talking right now: I want to first quietly finish the report.

The second part explains the first part.

Russian often uses a colon in this way when the second clause gives:

• a reason
• an explanation
• a clarification

You could think of it as similar to English:

• ... because ...
• ... the reason is that ...

So the sentence could be paraphrased as:

• Сейчас мне не до разговоров, потому что я хочу сначала спокойно закончить отчёт.

The colon version is a bit more concise and stylistically neat.

Because закончить is perfective, and the speaker is focused on completing the report.

Russian aspect matters a lot:

• заканчивать = imperfective, process, repeated action, or action in progress
• закончить = perfective, completion, getting it done

Here the meaning is:

• I want to finish the report

That naturally points to a completed result, so закончить is the normal choice.

Compare:

• Я хочу заканчивать отчёт.
  This sounds odd in most contexts, because it focuses on the process in a way that doesn’t fit well with I want to finish.

• Я хочу закончить отчёт.
  This is the standard way to say I want to finish the report.

Сначала means first.

So:

• я хочу сначала спокойно закончить отчёт = I want to first finish the report calmly / in peace

It marks the action that should happen before anything else.

Word order in Russian is flexible, so you may also see:

• Я хочу сначала закончить отчёт.
• Сначала я хочу закончить отчёт.
• Я сначала хочу закончить отчёт.

These can all work, though they may differ slightly in emphasis.

In your sentence, сначала sits before спокойно закончить отчёт, which feels natural: first, the speaker wants to get the report done, and only after that maybe talk.

It can mean both, depending on context, but here it is best understood as:

• calmly
• without disturbance
• in peace
• without interruptions

So спокойно закончить отчёт does not necessarily mean the speaker will physically write in a calm style. It means more:

• finish the report quietly
• finish the report in peace
• finish the report without being bothered

This is why it fits so well after мне не до разговоров. The speaker doesn’t want conversation because they want uninterrupted focus.

Yes, but the meaning and tone are a little different.

• Я не хочу разговаривать = I don’t want to talk
• Мне не до разговоров = I’m not up for talking / this is not the time for talking

The second expression is often more situational. It suggests:

• I’m busy
• I’m preoccupied
• I have something more urgent to do
• conversation is not appropriate right now

So in this sentence, мне не до разговоров sounds more natural and expressive than just я не хочу разговаривать, because the reason immediately follows: the speaker wants to finish the report first.

Russian word order is flexible, but different orders can shift the emphasis.

Your sentence:

• я хочу сначала спокойно закончить отчёт

This gives a smooth, natural flow:

1. хочу = I want
2. сначала = first
3. спокойно закончить отчёт = finish the report in peace

Other possible orders:

• Я хочу спокойно сначала закончить отчёт
  Possible, but less natural.

• Я сначала хочу спокойно закончить отчёт
  Emphasizes first a bit more.

• Я хочу закончить отчёт сначала
  Usually less natural here, unless contrasting with something else.

So the original order is very good and idiomatic.

Отчёт is pronounced roughly at-CHYOT.

Important points:

• the stress is on ё
• ё is always stressed
• ё is pronounced differently from е

So:

• отчёт = report
• not the same pronunciation as if it were written with plain е

In printed Russian, ё is often replaced by е, so you may sometimes see отчет. But the correct pronunciation is still отчёт.

For learners, it is helpful to remember the dictionary form with ё, because otherwise pronunciation can be unclear.

Yes:

• Сейчас = now / right now
• мне = to me / for me, dative; here it marks the person affected
• не до = not the time/mood for
• разговоров = conversations / talking, genitive plural
• я = I
• хочу = want
• сначала = first
• спокойно = calmly / in peace / without interruption
• закончить = finish, complete
• отчёт = report

Natural whole-sentence sense:

• Right now I’m not up for talking: I want to first finish the report in peace.

That is much more natural than translating each word mechanically.
