We were watching the 1970's Russian language movie (with English subtitles) Dersu Uzala, directed by Akira Kurosawa. This is one of my favorite movies, but I'm curious about something that Dersu kept saying. If the subtitles said "very, very bad", then the words he said would always sound like "ochi, ochi hooda" or maybe "ochi, ochi hoota". So can someone identify these as real Russian words and write for me what the correct sounds would be (sounds like what I've put above -- I don't read Cyrillic so it won't do me any good to write something in Cyrillic).
I realize there are probably a million ways in Russian to say something like "very, very bad", but I'm only interested in one that sounds like what Dersu was saying. Thanks so much.
