Thread: Not as often as I would like

If someone ask me:
- Do you go often to the movies?

How do I say in russian:
- Not as often as I would like !




Thanks !

Не так часто, как хотелось бы.
Не так часто, как мне бы того хотелось.
Не так часто, как я бы того хотел.

Не так часто, как бы я хотел !

Ne tak chasto, kak by ja hotel!

or simply:
- нафига спрашиваешь?

That something like "whenever you ask"?

More like: why do you ask? Just with more emphasis and deeper feeling, as a Belorussian tried to explain to me yesterday (after some beer)

I see. Never come across that first word. "Nafiva", right? I'm not too clear on when "г" is pronounced "в".

No, it is pronounced nafiga. Usually the г is pronounced as a v in the adject endings -ого

редко

Я знаю, что это не дословный перевод.... но правильно ли это сказать в таком случае?

-Ты часто ходишь в кино?

-Я хотел бы ходить в кино почаще, но это не возможно...

- I would like to do it more often, but it's impossible

прикольно

Ta. I didn't mean the underline as an accent mark, by the way.

But my bold is meant as an accent mark

Yeah, I realised that, it seems commonly observed here. Cheers, anyway.
