Re: What's your native language?
Hi everybody! :)
My native language is Italian and actually I'm studying English, French and Russian.
Unfortunately, I'm not already able to make a speech in Russian without making an incredible amount of mistakes. :oops:
I study a lot but it's still not enough because I can't memorize all the declinations and the odd rules about verbs and stuff like that.
See y!
Giorgia :)

No, that's rhetorical question. I meant "We get tired of waiting for you".
Надеюсь мой английский хоть немного передает смысл того, что я хочу сказать, а хочу я сказать... Гм... Эту фразу и на русском сложно объяснить. В общем ситуация: кто-то опоздал, скажем, в кино и ожидавший его там, с возмущением, спрашивает "Почему так долго? (тудыть-растудыть)", но не ожидает при этом ответа.

Очень просто сказать на русском. Это звучит так: "Да сколько ж можно тебя ждать?!" :D

Well, Why did I have wait for so long? It's nothing so personal, so..
Because one year ago I've started a Russian course , I've discovered this amazing forum but I had some problem with the registration and I gave up. I tried again some days ago while I was searching something @ masterrussian website and it worked ,so..now here I am :)
I hope that I will be able to reply to your "topics" in Russian as soon as possible..
And I hope to use in the best way as I can this place because in my university Russian teaching is shitty and I need to find a solution on my own.. -.-
P.s= delog ..now you don't have to wait ..no more.. -,- ... I can image how your life has been terrible without my terrible topics written in an horrible pseudo-Russian...
Cheers..have a nice Sunday!
Buona giornata a tutti !!! :)
Giorgia!

В русском названия национальностей и образованные от них прилагательные пишутся со строчной. ;)
In Russian a capital letter is not used:
- for the pronouns, except "Вы" ("вы" also exists and there is a difference in using "вы" and "Вы"):
я, ты, он, она, оно, мы, они, вы, Вы
- for days of the week and months:
понедельник, вторник, август, март
- for people's titles:
фильм «Мистер и миссис Смит», профессор Хиггинс, доктор Хаус
- for nationalities, citizenship, languages etc (and for words that are derived from them):
немец, фламандка, древнегреческий, английский язык, славянская письменность, российское гражданство, латинский шрифт
In titles a capital letter is used only in the first word:
пьеса Чехова «Вишнёвый сад»
Извини, на твоем родном языке объяснить не могу. Не знаю я нидерладского. :)

Почему7 Somehouw, I doubt it's because it contains no errors. Is it simply unitelligible gibberish? Perhaps I should've just used the instrumentalis, and dropped the с.

Re: What's your native language?
эрвин, while native speakers don't put their thoughts in this way. Просто это не по-русски. Так не говорят.
I think something like "при помощи английского текста и словаря" would be better. English pronoun "my" is used more often than Russian "мой" (моя, моё, мои). Sometimes in English sentence it sounds OK, while it Russian translation this information is superfluous. If you hadn't written the word "мой", we would have thought that it is the dictionary you can use (have an opportunity to use). And it does not matter, if it is your dictionary, or your friend's dictionary, or your mother's dictionary, or one of the library dictionaries. (: Sometimes the thing you are speaking about is yours by default, so to say. Nobody would think that it is not yours.
One example:
You know one time I put the bee on him for a buck. I give him a hell of a story. Right in the middle... I says, ‘Doc, that's a... lie.’ And he put his hand in his pocket and brought out a buck. (J. Steinbeck, ‘Cannery Row’, ch. 13) — Однажды, знаете ли, я выпрашивал у доктора доллар. Я придумал черт знает какую историю. Но в середине рассказа... я сказал: "Док, я... все наврал". Доктор опустил_руку в_карман и вынул доллар.
For Russian speakers it goes without saying that it was his hand and his pocket. ) И так понятно, что он опустил свою руку в свой (а не чужой) карман.
As you can see, "my" (his, her, ...) can be translated not only as "мой" (его, её, ...), but also as "свой" (sorry, I don't know the rule which helps to choose the right translation).
I am not sure I understand it correctly. What did you mean? "I am doing", "I will do", "I have done"? (I don't know which English verb to choose, so I have just written examples with the verb "to do".)
Please, write in English what you mean and we'll try to translate it. )

Я думаю он имел ввиду слово "перевёл". Расшифровкой здесь занимаемся мы. :)

Spanish, but I learned English shortly after to the point where I can say either one is my native language and confuse people (though my English is infinitely better than my Spanish).

American English, but I am trying to learn Russian, and soon will start learning a bit of Italian.

Re: What's your native language?
Му Native language is Russian. However I manly use English for the past 25 years. It was difficult at first for a couple of years, but after that it became natural. I still have an accent, but it doesn't give me any problems.
-
Re: What's your native language?
Here's funny thing. Back in 80's and 90's when the computer industry was booming, I used to go around the the country making presentations. And I was usually starting my speech with the words: "Please excuse my heavy New Jersey accent". Some people laughed, but many really thought that my accent is from NJ. Mainly in Texas or Southern California.

Re: What's your native language?
Я как-то запуталась в нью-йоркском метро. Один афро-американец объяснил, как мне выбраться, а потом спросил, откуда я. "Из Чикаго". "А, тогда понятно". Мой тяжелый русский акцент один раз сошёл за чикагский. :yahoo:
-
Re: What's your native language?
It's interesting that many Americans respect people who have an accent. I think it's mainly due to James Bond type movies, where every "mad scientist" speaks with Russian or German accent. Not in the big cities, though. Like in New York most got used to it, because of the large number of recent immigrants. And they just have to accept it as a natural evil. I never had a problem with my accent in NYC, until they put me in the office together with the Irish girl. I think it took like 2 months or so, before we started to understand each other :)
-
Re: What's your native language?
I agree, I think that many Russian do it as well. I do, I find the accents a lovely thing. The accents and using of the wrong words. It's always sounds funny and often very cute and just touching. Accents are like our individual features - they make people seem special. It's a kind of the prejudice (but the opposite thing). The same feeling we have when look at the people in the glasses - we mind them clever and intelligent inconciously.

Это не удивительно. Понять, от куда акцент, можно только, если с ним было знакомство до этого. Скажем русский знакомый. В Нью Йорке, например, все меня мнговенно вычисляют, как русского, благодаря куче русских иммигрантов, которые тут живут. Но стоит отъехать на несколько десятков миль н запад, в Пенсильванию, например, то большинство считает мой акцент французким или немецким. Думаю это тоже из за кинофильмов, где американские актеры просто изобретают акценты.

Yes, this is another movie stereotype. If some kid is wearing grasses, he must be some kind of nerd :) Real men don't use glasses. ...perhaps contacts, if they have vision problems. :)

Only if they are non-American accents. People in New York (and many other large cities around the U.S.) strongly believe that people from the South with nice "Southern" accents... are as dumb as bricks. This happens a great deal. I happen to have a very non descriptive accent, that is until I say something like "ya'll" or "listen up" and then all my credibility goes out the window and I am forever labeled as a dumb hick from the south! :crazy:

Finland... Hm... The country of heavy metal and Nokia. Nightwish, Stratovarius, Sentenced, Apocalyptica, Sinergy, Lordi, To/Die/For, Warmen, Lullacry this is short list of bands which I know. I don't know another country where so much of well-know bands for the whole world. I mean non English speaking country. So you must be proud of your country as well-know country in the world. By the way, what are you know about Russia, except bears and vodka? Nothing! Or not?
Well, there is one variant: you don't like your language. Why, if it's not secret? How many another languages you know?
