I was discussing with a friend my post about Russian drinking verbs, and decided that I shouldn’t leave people thinking that Russian only has extensive vocabulary for drinking-related stuff. Here is another list of verbs:

• воровать (vorovat) – to steal habitually
  • E.g., when asked to describe Russia in just one word, a famous Russian historian replied: “Voruyut” (people steal habitually).
• своровать (svorovat') – to steal something
• поворовать (povorovat') – to have done some stealing and stopped
  • Often used in suggestions like “povorovali i khvatit” (“ok, they stole a bit, now is time to stop”)
• выворовывать (vyvorovyvat') – to extract something through stealing
• обворовать (obvorovat') – to steal lots of things from the same person
• подворовывать (podvorovyt') or приворовывать (privorovyvat') – to embezzle a little bit, as a side income
• приворовываться (privorovat'sya) – to have found a position where one can embezzle safely
• наворовать (navorovat') – to have stolen/embezzled a quantity of money that is enough for some specific goal
  • E..g, “Ivan navoroval sebe na dom” – “Ivan has already embezzled enough to buy himself a house”
• навороваться (navorovat'sya) – to have stolen enough that you don’t feel like stealing anymore
  • E.g., one could say about incumbent politicians that they “oni khotya by uzhe navorovalis'” – “at least they've already stolen enough to be happy,” i.e., suggesting that we expect them to be stealing less now, unlike the new ones, which haven’t yet stolen what they need.
• переворовать (perevorovat') – to have stolen all of something over time
  • E.g. “Perevorovali vsekh loshadei” – “Eventually all the horses got stolen”
• завороваться (zavorovat'sya) – to have gotten a stealing binge that one can’t control
• провороваться (provorovat'sya) – to have embezzled and gotten caught
• довороваться (dovorovat'sya) – to have reached some undesirable end through uncontrolled stealing
  • "Boris dovorovalsya do tyur'my" – “Boris stole so much that he ended up in prison”
• недоворовать (nedovarovat') – to steal less than everything
  • Sometimes used as a verb, but more often as participle – “nedovarovannoe” (that which hasn’t been stole yet)
• доворовывать (dovorovyvat') – to steal whatever is left
  • E.g., “Dovorovyvali poslenyuyu vodku” – “They were stealing whatever vodka remained”.
• разворовать (razvorovyvat') – to steal something by every person taking a little bit
  • E.g., “Razvorovali vsyu pribyl'” – “All the profit got embezzled, everyone taking a little bit”
• развороваться (razvorovat'sya) – to grown comfortable stealing
• извороваться (izvorovat'sya) – to have corrupted one’s character through stealing too much
