Thread: If I was to take a trip to Russia

Я тоже согласен. Он, мне кажется, очень хорошо знает Россию. Я узнал не меньше половины моих знаний русского уклада жизни у Доброго.

Я узнал знания - тавтология.
Не меньше половины того, что я знаю об укладе русской жизни, я узнал из постов Доброго.

Что за шум, а драки нет?! (с)
Everybody cares! Obviously.

КЗЕРТОК is a supposedly Russian hockey player who's been in a certain Gatorade commercial lately. Here it is

You can actually see the name КЗЕРТОК on the back of the guy's red jersey (number 11). I don't know how they come up with this stuff. Is it an ingenious variation of ТРЕТьЯК?

Do I qualify now?

LOL. I think the version of this that gets the most laughs is the much-talked-about Bourne Identity, where his passport consists entirely of Cyrillic consonants where his "name" field is... It would be something like "Igor Ivanov" in English and then in Cyrillic it was somthing like "ФЖВЙ ФВШГЙЧЖ" LOL.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you..... but I think Dobry rules!!!!

:P

Hehe, I looked it up, the passport says Foma Kiniaev in latin letters, and in cyrillic it says Ащьу Лштшфум, which is exactly what you get by typing the latin version after having switched to the Russian keyboard. Truly, many artistic inspirations come from the "research is dull and boring" concept.

Then you are right -- it does have vowels. I was thinking it was ridiculous for it's lack of vowels and not the typing of the "Russian" keys. Still funny though. Did this film play in Russia, I wonder? I would think it did. Not that some film outfit really cares, but you have to wonder how Russians took that. I would laugh my arse off, if the tables were flipped...

There are so many goofs in any given movie people hardly pay attention any more.

I didn't see why you posted that picture here, but whoever made those plaques, was definetly bad in transliterating!!!

this thread sure has changed,Whats with the pump control?

"whoever made those plaques, was definetly bad in transliterating!!!""
I second the motion! lol

I decided to buy Idi I Smotri, it will take a little while for it to get here though.

is there a online dictionary that would have every part of speech that a word is used? like first, second,third,person past,future and female,male parts?the new penguin bnook does a great job of teaching this, but I wanted a second referance.I' sure sounds funny but ok, and Iknow this cant be used with all words but I'm sure it will help beginers.

Example:
ya zhivu
ono zhivyot
ti zhivyosh'
oh/ona zhivyot
vi zhivyote
oni zhivut
mi zhivyom
ya zhit I will live?

anyway i was hoping they re something like that on the internet.
I have been using this when I take notes and i just memorise them and add words that I use every day, It helps decently but acctual speaking with a native speaker is still my favorite, only because it feels like all the hard work in the language is finally paying off. anyone else know this emotion of excitement.

lingvo.ru is the standard. It's pretty good -- but to get the full conjugations, you have to buy the pc software version. If I were you, I'd use lingvo and buy "501 Russian Verbs" if you feel you need it. Then go to Russia and buy the full version of lingvo cheaper than here.

You can check out Cornell's Russian Dictionary Tree at: http://russian.dmll.cornell.edu/rdt/ .

It's kind of quirky, and isn't as comprehensive as lingvo, but it's free. You type in a word and it will show you aspect and conjugation (for verbs), and all the declinsions in singular and plural if it is a noun.

tdk

Yeh http://russian.dmll.cornell.edu/rdt/ is excellent for beginners. But once you get the hang of conjugation and stress, I would suggest using Lingvo and http://www.gramota.ru

Cool this works for now...
I am curious does anyone have the lyrics in english and Russian for Ddt "last fall"?

I've begun to notice this, but it seems that every russian I meet they like to talk about history, I dont mind at all just they give better history lessons than some of my teachers do.It's actually funny how our school books have differnt dates for things than they do, but then again our books are now 11 years old.

can some on explain what the word "bi" means as in shto-bi, my books says its to wish or in order or to command. I just use it and not really know why.

I'v e also noticed that some Russians dont like me speaking to them in Russian. while most are very please that I even tried to learn the language.

Im going to think of some phrases I use at my work place to speak. I am currentally a cashier and the one I know is ... "kak ya mongu vom pomoch"

I just wanted to know stuff like:
anything else
come back soon
you owe... (I think "vi dozhn" sounds weird "you must"?)
do you ever miss home?
have fun
good luck with work
is that everything?
In my opinion...
what is your favorite...
do you like America so far? vom naravetsah Amerika ??(so far?)
Drive safe
If you dont mind me asking?
what made you decide to come to America?
that 's my boss...
I must get to work
~~~~~~~
dont worry I work graveyard so I can get away with many things...

my friends Call me Alex why does some of them call me Sasha?isnt that a womans name? I thought they were being insultting but thay say its slang or something.

wheres Dorby he's cool.
thats all for now I'll be back
