Thread: 100 Basics

As much as i'd like to learn russian properly, i just can't take the time and devotion it requires. I know most of the alphabet, and several of the grammer laws. But quite frankly i only want the basics right now. A hundred words, the english word, the russian pronounciation, and the russian spelling. So if you ever have the free time, or just feel like helping a culture happy Canadian, stop by and post a few words! Thanks y'all.

Hey, what's wrong with dictionaries?

www.babylon.com

www.translate.ru / text / russko-angliiskii / enter the whole list and hey presto!

If you don't want to spend money on a dictionary, you could always stop at a library and look the words up.

I was already aware of dictionarys and translators on the net, but none functioned the way i needed them too, however i found something on the site translate.ru, which i had only previously visited, that shows the pronounciation.

Well, you could certainly at least learn that there aren't any articles "a" and "the" in Russian.

Damn pravit, you took my insult ! oh well, i'll say it anyways.

Russian doesn't have "a" or "the" .

THere no auxiliary verbs in russian as well.

Man, not to beat a dead horse, but: what's so wrong with going to a library?

Kids today. Pfff.

Someone here needs a visit from тайнственный герой-филолог....

Не буду ничего отвечать, пусть возьмёт маленький словарь и посмотрит. Anyway, the words in different languages are only loosely connected with their meanings and you cannot say that "this means this in 100%" without a context.

I hope the russian in my previous post was good enough to understand. If not, I'm sorry.

Please follow the URL to the thread regarding the "oldest russian word". I think then you may understand.

Well, I know my Russian is terrible so I had better explain myself.

I was trying to figure out why the gentleman wanted these particular words translated. (I know, this is the part of my "charm" that makes other people *crazy*! )

If you convert the list of words into a table of multiple columns, some meaning may emerge. (Remember the typing monkeys?) Pravit had entertained everyone recently with the beginnings of a parody (excuse me - a very serious epic tale). I was hoping to inspire him to continue.
