    I was looking for some info through a search engine... And came across the site. It seemed very intersting to me. I enjoyed participating in discussions and also just reading them. Firstly, I came here to help people learning Russian, but I realized it's not too much. Now, when I have spare time, I love doing everything listed in the poll. MR is my second home, folks. Thanks everyone for your existence!

    Dude, you are completely incoherent. Can you just write out in plain English what exactly you want translated?

    If you want to translate the sentence "My girls" to Russian:

    Мои девушки

    Thanks, vinnie! I have been trying to figure out capecoddah's last post to provide him with some sort of reply for some time now but found it very hard to get what he meant.

    Capecoddah means to say that his Russian friends who happen to be girls help him to learn Russian. Correct? He also says that he receives a lot of jokes from them about his poor Russian.

    That is what I understand from this, anyway.

    It's all clear to me now, DDT. I didn't know that capecoddah has Russian friends who happen to be girls, which is why I couldn't figure out what he meant. I suppose we should ask him to clarify what he meant.
