In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Dratuti” is a rare card of the Russian Memes pack, number 132 of the collection, and the 40th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Dratuti” meme mean?
The meme turns an ordinary greeting into an odd rallying cry. “Dratuti” says hello the way a small child or a pet might if it could not finish the word, which disarms everybody at once. People post it to open a chat, welcome a newcomer to a group or start a video with a touch of nonsense.
Where does the “Dratuti” meme come from?
Dratuti comes from the Runet, the Russian-speaking internet, and dates to 2016. It starts with a visual accident: the grain and knots of a sheet of plywood happen to outline a shape that reads as a dog’s head. That picture is paired with “Dratuti”, a childish, slurred take on “zdravstvuyte”, the polite Russian “hello”. The chance portrait and the badly pronounced word make a pair that spread as an image caption. Mixing an absurd backdrop with a warped courtesy phrase turned this wooden dog into a mascot of the clumsy greeting.
How to use the “Dratuti” meme
