Thread: Russian to English..

Thing is, this is just like trying to come up with the international trade sanctions -- everyone would have to abide by it, with only one person screwing it up. So essentially, it's pointless. Obviously, EasyGoingGuy = Iran.

So the way I see it, you have three courses of effective action:
a. Go to MasterAdmin and request he be warned/tossed
b. Ignore his posts
c. Bomb him back into the Stone Age

But this is a Russian forum. And Russians always do the opposite of what the Americans do. You hate Iran? Iran is our friend. You hate Hamas? Hamas be welcome in Russia... etc. Therefore this forum is bound to be split on a subject. Why bother even bringing it up?

I agree with everything said by TATY in the above!

in Russian it is called "сел и поехал".
I would not mind anything against(?) such posts, but it goes over the board now!
I'd ask to delete all such messages, especially when they are THE FISRST and ONLY messages of the new member.

I ask if it's possible to warn the member which posted the Russian phrase with such words as "otsa*y u menia" of beeing banned next time.
Because it seems somehow that the poster just wanted to have fun and nothing more.

Everything that EasyGG does here is just having fun with his girlfriend!
Here and now and they are wasting everyone's time.
They use this place as an online translator.
Whatever he thinks about the importance of their relationships for this forum and its members his girlfriend MUST stop writing him her messages in Russian and learn English.

Thank you!

Я согласен с тобой.

Спасибо, basurero!

I totally agree with this approach, and not longer ago than today I have responded to seven spam messages in my mail with angry protests and fiery philippic.

Wow. Never heard "phillippic" before. Thank goodness for the Internet and online dictionaries!

Well, I agree with Klinky ol' boy!

If you don't like those posts......don't read them. Or better yet.....use them as a source of entertainment and translate incorrectly!......and let nature do the rest.

Nice thougt! I'll do that!

Now I have two questions:

1.Or better yet - does it mean the same with Russian или ещё лучше?

2...not longer ago than today - is it не далее чем сегодня(/вчера)?

If truth that is so nice that both Russian and English phrases are built SO similar!

He's from Montreal, but judging by Adoc's other posts, he's practically a native speaker (since presumably French is his first language) of English. I'm guessing if you substitute "no" for "not" it makes more sense, even if I still find it to be a rather unattractive, unwieldy way of just saying "since yesterday".

I'm just fooling around, don't ever say that

Live and learn From that moment on you can "casually" sqeeze it into a conversation just the way I did .

But to get back on track, I think the mods should be more assertive. If Putin was the main mod he's assert his власть a bit more than Mr. MR.

If Putin were the main mod, this would be declared a strategic sector and we'd ALL be banned!

Thanks to everybody for the explanations!




God's Fish I forgot! Thank you!

There is no such word as "explainment" in the English language.

LOL, Бармалей, you are incredibly observant!
Adoc's first language is Russian and his French is limited.

As for "philippic", he was just trying hard to seem very sophisticated


Adoc, sorry for blowing your cover :P
