Thread: Where should I be exiled?

А я вообще не голосовал. Патаму что за Москву нельзя и моя обидится есть быть.

Those bears?

I'd vote for Ufa of E-burg, since it's closer to where I usually hang around in Summer, and I think southern Ural mountains rock, especially in summer.

You better worry about free-range dogs - they are INDEED everywhere here.

THAT is certainly true. As creepy as it is sad...

I've got a question:
As I understand, the verb exile should be followed by the prep. from.
Therefore, IMHO, that sentence should be "Where should I be exiled from".

Am I right ???

KV has been smoking the reefer this morning. That sounds absolutely ужасно. It SOUNDS better to say "Where should I be exiled to," in my opinion, but that's technically incorrect. You should definitely not say it like KV did though, b/c it sounds bizarre. Maybe you could say "to where" but that still sounds really artificial.

If you wanted to say it the other way around, we usually something like "Chuvak was born in Russia, but went into exile (or "was forced into exile") after he criticised Putin's choice of breakfast cereals."

Itz actulay be "exiled I where bee?"

ХЕЙ, как насчет Красноярска??? Есть ли причина, по которой никто не упомянул этот город??

I can't believe We, as the race of humans, have evolved into this situation of confusion.

In spoken English it is O.K. to say, "Where should I be exiled?"

Is it grammatically correct? No... and yes. It is an accepted form of spoken English. Clear and understandable English.

Relax. Screw the bears and forget the dogs.

Let's all of us... We... go grab a beer... first round's on me!

I'll talk DDT into buying the second round!...

Бармалей will buy the third round...

...then We exile him!

Можно сказать "Where to, should I be exiled" но лучше сказать "To where should I be exiled."

"Where should I be exiled?" is O.K. for English. It is acceptable.

"To where should I be exiled" is correct grammar, but it is not natural, or normal. Russian has similar examples in grammar.

Relax, on English grammar... unless everyone on the forum is studying for the Proficiency Exam, or for a Doctoral Degree (Ph.D.).

So... we need to find the best pub! DDT is buying a round!



(Seriously... I'm trying to help non-native English speakers sound, speak and understand more natural, normal English).

Shadow1, you are correct by the grammar textbook... but your speech is too formal... this is not how English-speakers speak normally. I am a teacher of English and Law. No worry, please... I have similar difficulties with Russian.

I concur.

Что, где......... я забыл мой бумажник!

I learned this from an old American Indian friend of mine.

Yep, that figures, you wanker!

Inerestingly enough, (as I hijack this thread for a moment.....but this is a language learning forum, is it not?) In Australian we often refer to "buying a round of drinks" as "shouting" a round of drinks.
i.e. It is DDT's turn to "shout" us all a beer! So put your wallets back in your pants, you wankers!
