’Ščast´je’ i ’udača’ v finno-ugorskih jazykah
The Concepts ’luck’ and ’success’ in Finno-Ugric Languages

Summary/Abstract: The language material analysed enables the conclusion that in different Finno-Ugric languages the concepts ’luck’ and ’success’ are expressed using various linguistic means, such as polysemous nouns, verb phrases, or idioms. The relevant lexical means are not ancient enough to be shared by all Finno-Ugric languages, having rather been developed separately in the Finnic, Volgaic, Permian and Ugric languages, or evenin separate languages.
