I want to send a humorous email to a girl in my class. I looked at my dictionaries to write this. It is not easy.
Could you please correct my Russian version?
Привет
Вы - единственная девственница, которую.
я когда-либо встречал. Я очень рад знать Вас.

Hello
You are the only virgin I have ever met. I am very glad to know you.

Are you sure you mean virgin?
When my daughter was 6 she said
"Когда я была маленькой девственницей..."
instead of
"Когда я была маленькой девочкой..."
Do not repeat the error :)
i wouldnt make refrence to her being a virgin it i was you. russian women arnt ss open to talking about their age/ sex habbits as you'd hope. find something else to complement her about.
and if that was sarcasm, then know - most russians don't get sarcasm!after a year my gf is still yet to tell when im using the ole sarcastic wit :twisted:
I think he asked for a translation, not advice on how to live his life... but I might be mistaken :wink:
Let him find out for himself what to say and what not to say :wink:
Anyway, if it is a girl in class, don't you think you'd use the more familiar term ты? It's not like they are perfect strangers and they are the same age. I say yes!
Therefore:
ты - единственная девственница, которую я до сих пор встретил.
Мне очень приятно быть с тобой знакомым.
