Hello!
How would you say "self-preservation" in Russian? I really appreciate your help.
It's "самосохранение" as my dictionary said
Can you also help me with pronunciation? Thank you!
samasakhranyeniye.
The last syllable is stressed.
«И всё, что сейчас происходит внутре — тоже является частью вселенной».
Are you sure because my dictionary says самосохранение.Originally Posted by Rtyom

No, not the last one, not even penultimate - the third syllable from the end.Originally Posted by Rtyom
samasakhranyEniye.
well since ие On the end of words is almost never (or maybe never) stressed i think rostova meant that the E самосохранение was stressed becaue he assumed you people were smart enough to figure that out.
Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
Sorry, never meant to mislead you... Though I winked at ya! Like this: You finally figured that out, as Dogboy pin-pointed.
Maybe I was carried away transliterating that, so I began splitting the word in syllables, and the last one when said like that is sure stressed. Agagin, no lie in your dictionary. I'm winking again.
«И всё, что сейчас происходит внутре — тоже является частью вселенной».
I'll quote myself when i said...
.(or maybe never)
I was certain that there had to be at least one exception as there almost always is in russian. Though Самоё doesnt end in ие, does it?
Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
I haven't heard this word before. Did you mean СамоЕ?Самоё

We have самое and самоё.Originally Posted by ReDSanchous
Самоё is the accusative of сам, and is used in the phrase самоё себя. I've never come across of different usage.
BTW, бытие is the only right variant. No yo is possible.
«И всё, что сейчас происходит внутре — тоже является частью вселенной».
Where did you pick this up? I never use самоё. Can you give me several examples of самоё?We have самое and самоё.

"Самоё себя" is a favourite phrase of my lecturer of philosophy. For example "На протяжении всей истории цивилизации человек пытался познать самоё себя." I think she feel herself very clever when she says it.
And in some fairy tales you can see the phrase "житьё-бытьё"
I practically never use this form of the word. You can say самого себя which will be acceptable 100%. The example is well illustrated by Rostova.Originally Posted by ReDSanchous
