I have a Russian "friend" who sends me messages in English & Russian. I just need these few translated:
"spokoinoi nochi malishka"
"ya otsen zla na tebya sasha"
"ya tebya lyublyu anastacia"
I can read the basic russian alphabet so I could figure these out but my grammar is really lacking.
I'm also wondering, are there any other words besides "красивый" that mean handsome/sexy/hot/good-looking? Thanks for your help.
Спокойной ночи, малышка = Good night, babyQuote:

can you tell me the nuances behind those words?? like are some more indecent? which are acceptable to say to a stranger? etc etc
Just a hunch, but I don't think I'd walk up to (or do the "virtual" online equivalent to that) some stranger and call them "сексуальный." I'm not sure about хорошенький -- it sounds innocent to me, but one of the defs from lingvo is a "pin-up." :lol: The rest, though, are pretty mild AFAIK (stuff like dear/wonderful/cool/nice/outstanding).Quote:

замечательный: great, fantastic, excellent (person)
хорошенький: good-natured, good (person)
In this context "хорошенький" means good-looking or even sexy-looking.Quote:

симпатичный: can also mean something like "cute", not "handsome" though
ooops, sorry. did somebody call you that? :dunno:
прекрасный: handsome, beautiful
замечательный: I would say "wonderful"
I don't mean to argue with a dictianary though. :oops:
Who is arguing with a dictionary? I just gave my best guesses on the adjectives provided. I am not a dictionary last time I checked :lol: !Quote:

I was drunk last night when he phoned me and I used the сексуальный one. He seemed to appreciate the complement?
i don't know about that. did he end up coming over after you said that? then - yes! 8)Quote:
