Thread: to date

Translation of the word date (i.e. spend time with someone for romantic puproses)
1.I want to date with you / I enjoy dating with you / Now I date with a nice girl / I have never dated with a girl similar to you etc
- The translation will provide will probably be: Ya xochu provesti vremya s toboi / Mne nravit'sya provodit' vremya s toboi / Seichas ya provozhu vremya s xoroshoi devushkoi / Nikogda ya na provel vremya s devushkoi, kotoroi poxozhoi na tebya.

If the word date is translated as provodit' / provesti = spend time, I will be massively dissapointed.

There's no direct translation. To date means 'пойти на свидание', but this is a bit bookish. When they say 'I date her/him' you can say 'Я встречаюсь с ней/с ним' (literally I meet...).

Hi. Not 'ages', merely two years.

I want to date with you ("Я хочу пойти с тобой на свидание" (it's a bit too straightforward and unnatural. But it seems to me, original phrase also is)
I enjoy dating with you - "Мне нравится встречаться с тобой"
Now I date with a nice girl - "Я встречаюсь с прекрасной девушкой"
I have never dated with a girl similar to you etc - It seems a bit unnatural in english, doesn't it? You'd probably say "I've never met a girl like you" which could be translated" Никогда не встречал девушки, похожей на тебя".

It's probably not for this subforum, but as far as I remember, the correct way of saying is 'to date someone' not 'to date with someone'.

Если серьёзно, реально рад, что ты заглянул. Я сам давно практически в рид-онли, мониторю только на предмет появления старых знакомых.

Я на самом деле случайно наткнулся на ссылку MR, залез, а меня Лампада в чате спалила. Вот, решил вернуться. "Новостями" (для меня), конечно, огорошила.

to date someone,
to have a date with someone

I think smth like that
