"старая школа"

Translation: an old school

[6dot022xE23]

I would love to know if this can be used as in English when talking about people, like in: "These guys are old school."

[mosfet07]

Yes, it can be used

"живопись старой школы" (old school painting)
"музыка старой школы" (old school music)

Funny, that this can be translated literally. In German, too, there's a rare idiom "Alte Schule" which literally and idiomatic means old school. But nowadays, people rather use the Anglicism "oldschool"

[DaveDriese]

Note the correct spelling IRL would be "Old skool".

Don't say "Old School" because you will immediately lose any credibility of being Old Skool

I actually wrote it like that before correcting myself. Word.

[franklinfranks]

definitely outing yourself as considerably new school

After listening a couple of times on this sound clip, I can't help hearing старие and not старая школа. Both fast and slow versions give this impression. Am I the only one hearing this?

[Shady_arc]

Despite the glitch, the ends of the word sounds nothing like рие.

[Zkamin]

Старый школа is what I hear.

[srtq4]

Школа is старАЯ. Feminitive and things

[delyonbeast]

thats the way we go

[kdammers]

Can it also have the same meaning as in English "my old school" -- the school I went to 9even if the school is physically new)?

[tavlav89]

да

I have seen DL make a big deal out of whether something is a sentence or not. Allow me to point out that this phrase does not start with a capital letter and does not end with a period. Therefore, it is not a sentence as described.
