    If you're focusing on cognates, be sure to learn about false cognates, too.

    Брат - brother
    Дам - I'll give
    Дата - Date
    Фамилия - Surname
    Граф - Count
    Кабинет - Office
    Магазин - Store

    etc.

    Магазин is a cognate if you are French though
    Isn't Кабинет from French as well.

    магазин = store but sounds like magazine
    журнал = magazine but sounds like journal
    газета = newspaper but sounds like gazette

    дневник = journal pronounced dnevneek
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    A gazette is a newspaper

    A magazine is a type of journal (hence JOURNALism) (French Jour = day. Journal in French actually means Newspaper).

    Магазин сomes from the French word Magasin, which means shop/store.

    Two fingers facing forward is rude in Britain. Sort of like the middle finger but less offesive. The peace sign is the other way round.

    "The English language is a beautiful thing in its simplicity. For example, when the English want to show boats we hold a thing called a 'Boat Show', and guess what we do. Nice and simple. Now picture that in French. 'l'exposition de bateaux et d'eau fait'. Sorry, We just don't have time for that, we've got Germans to defeat."

    Ans once you've met 10 french people and you hate every single one of them (not for being french, god forbid), you start thinking maybe it's because they are.

    No, but a DNA sample is required as well.

    His DNA? I hope so. Otherwise he'd be a mutant, and then we would be obliged to kill him, like in X-Men...

    I know a French guy online and although his DNA isn't perfect, he's an okay guy. :P
