"must" is usually used for things thave you should or ought to do but you perhaps don't feel like doing.
For example:
"I must clean the bathroom"
"I must do my homework"
"I must fill in the declaration."
(=boring things that you don't really feel like doing, but you have to...)
In all cases above you can replace "must" with "need to" and keep the same meaning. These two expressions mean almost the same thing.
If you are a woman you might say "I simply must have that gorgeous dress"
It is an ironic but common way of using the word....
Do you understand?
Мне нужна красивая девушка. (Note that девочка means little girl rather than girl.)Quote:
I need a beautiful girl.
Я должен влюбиться в красивую девушку.Quote:
I must fall in love with a beautiful girl.
«Влюбляясь» is an adverbial participle, which is used to describe a parallel process. You can replace an adverbial participle by a verb with “when”.
1) Мы теряем голову, влюбляясь = Мы теряем голову, когда влюбляемся.
2) Плача, мы опустошаем душу и приносим покой сердцу = Когда [мы] плачем, мы опустошаем душу и приносим покой сердцу.
3) Оттолкнув меня, она кинулась (побежала) к двери = Она кинулась к двери, когда оттолкнула меня.
I thank Johanna, 'it-ogo' and Звездочёт for all the excellent comments.
Johanna is based in London. I guess Johann's mother tongue is English.
I wholeheartedly agree with all your comments.
You wrote the following at the end of your comments.
Do you understand?

I perfectly understand the differences in the words 'must' , 'should' and 'ought'.
I have a good friend. I promised her to write her name in Russian.
We always joke about beautiful girls.
I will write her name and a sentence like I like girls, I must fall in love with a beautiful one, etc.
These things are humorous.
There is nothing serious in our conversations. I don't care about the meaning of the words. Even she laughs at what I write.
She doesn't know a word of Russian.
lol, ---- Нет, actually я шведка но я жила в лондоне восемь года и учила анлийски.... :wall: since I was 10 (how do you say that in Russian?)Quote:

However, I was not born in this country. I like Russian and French.
Are you from Stockholm?
Finally another "Swede" (??!!?) Ja, jag är från Stockholm. Du pratar ju bra svenska, du måste ha bott länge i Sverige. Var bodde du när du först pluggade ryska?
So are you going to take up Russian again now? What's your plan?
If numeral endind is 1 (exept 11) you would say "год" (like singular, nominative):Quote:

If numeral endind is 2, 3, 4 (exept 12, 13, 14) you would say "года" (like singular, genitive):
Мне 2 года, Я прожил 104 года etc.
If numeral endind is 5, 6,... 9, 0 or if it's 11, 12, 13, 14 you would say "лет" (like pluaral, genitive):
Мне 14 лет, Я прожил 68 лет etc.
Compare with:
это стоит 21 доллар (like singular, nominative);
это стоит 104 доллара (like singular, genitive);
это стоит 185 долларов (like pluaral, genitive).
...с десяти лет. (literally "from [my] 10 years").Quote:

Jag bor i Vällingby. Min kompis jobba på en resturang.
Jag ska skriva hennes namn och vad du har skrivit om henne.
Tomorrow I am going to the gym for circuit-training (styrketräninig).
I will talk to her on my way to the gym.
Nowadays I train at Friskis och Svettis.
I trained at SATS for a several years and recently changed to Friskis.
Are you from Bromma?
It is difficult to study Russian nowadays. Because they have reduced the grant for schools.
Politician have ordered not to allow people to study in order to repeat.
I have studied before and they see the results on their computers.
So I am not eligible to study.
I hate those rotten politicians who curtailed the grants for schools.
Mona Sahlin and company will be at the helm after the next elections.
They will change the policies. I earnestly hope there will be changes.
Thanks Ollie and Stargazer.... ! Thanks for the good explanations.Quote:

I do not know why in Russian does not exist plural form of the word "год" (there is only affectionate diminutive form -- годков). We use plural form of "лето" (summer) instead.
It does exist! :-o Годы / года.Quote:

Yes, cause. However, what is the source of "лето" with meaning "year"?
I think that comes back to the ancient Perun (which has later been converted to St Ilya). As Perun's Day was considered the most important day of the year and was celebrated by the end of summer, that signified each year's important mark and was used when the years were counted as in "многия лета". It still remains in the folk culture in the form of proverbs:Quote:

Thanks, Crocodile. It's very interesting.
You're most welcome. Кстати, трудновато разглядеть, но на твоём аватаре случайно не изображена натальная карта?Quote:

Так что основной источник астрологических концепций нужно искать не в Вавилоне, а в греческом мире на рубеже эр. Хотя не спорю, греки не на пустом месте свою систему строили. Зодиак и базовые значения планет были позаимствованы на Востоке.
