letter 2

Dear Masha
Hi Masha! How are you doing? I hope you like it here in America. Do you have a favorite American meal? I like chicken nuggets, have you tried those yet? Do you have a favorite restaurant? I like Chick-fil-A. I am not sure if there is a Chick-fil-A where you live.

Do you enjoy school? I start back in August.

Please remember that I am praying for you, your sisters and brother everyday for your safety, happiness and health.

Please write back!

thanks guys for all your help...

Дорогая Маша, привет, как твои дела? Надеюсь, тебе нравится в Америке. У тебя есть любимая американская еда? Я люблю chicken nuggets, ты их уже пробовала? У тебя есть любимый ресторан? Мне нравится Chick-fil-A. Я не уверен, есть ли Chick-fil-A там, где ты живешь.

Тебе нравится ходить в школу? I start back in August. (start what?)

Пожалуйста, помни, что я каждый день молюсь за благополучие, счастье и здоровье твое, твоих сестер и твоих братьев.

Жду ответа!

are chicken nuggets an american food? I'm pretty sure they have those in Russian, no? I know they do in Ukraine...so if Ukraine has it i'm almost posotive that Russian does.

Originally it's not Russian/Ukrainian... I think it's American but it's spread over in other countries too. Maybe? :?

ive seen chicken nuggets in moscow, only in Mc'ds tho (чикен нагетс).
(start what?) - it refers to the restarting of the academic year

dcunited, maybe next time you will make an effort yourself instead of capitalizing on poor Olya's time? :wink:

We need her back!

i didn't specifically ask for her help. she didn't HAVE to help. she's nice enought to help. what's the name of this forum? TRANSLATE THIS. that's what it is.

Easy there skippy! First of all this forum is here to learn Russian, not a free translation service for those too cheap & lazy! Anyway, why are you writing letters to Russians if you do not understand the language?

One letter, fine, but four? If I hadn't said anything we would be translating your novel in twenty parts!

I am guessing he is actually just trying to keep in touch with adopted kids. Am I right? If he is I think we should give him a break.
