Aha, once again I'm in need of your translation services, sorry to be such a pain :oops:
"bainki bayu (sproim, v jizni ne naydesh perevod)"
I get the last part, something about not being able to translate the first part in my life! :D
but if the whole thing could be translated, that be much appreciated.
Many thanks! :)

edit: never mind, i figured the translation i was requesting in this post (so removed it) :)
just wanted to say thanks again for all your help... I doubt this will be the last time either :oops:
sorry but back to the cat thing (really quick I promise):
Just wondering, but I've also heard of кошка as a normal non-vulgar term for cat......is that right? Also is there a difference in word choice if you were describing a house cat rather than a wild cat, like a lion?
Кошка is a regular cat, кот is used for male only. Lion is лев. Which wild cat?
not any one in particular. But for example in English you can't really call a giant tiger a "kitty"... But it's ok you answered my main question. Thanks
You can't call it in Russian as well.Quote:
