    Something about eternal love, I am not sure what "sredstva" have to do with anything. Looks like someone is using an online translator. Is it spam or a con of some sort?

    My meaning is that if you take the English phrase "When I say I love you, it means forever" and put it into an online translator, you'll probably get the word "means" translated as "sredstva", which is total garbage in this context, it isn't even a verb. That's my meaning, but you do what you want with it.

    So, this is your effort? Sorry, I misunderstood. The correct way to write it assuming there is a correct way to write in Russian using the latin letters would be

    kogda ya govor'u, chto ya l'ubl'u Vas, eto oznachaet navsegda

    First of all, change "Vas" to "tebya", unless your girlfriend is a perfect stranger or a 75 year old mother of six. girlfriends usually take the familiar term "ty". So: kogda ya govor'u, chto ya l'ubl'u tebya, eto oznachaet navsegda

    the second sentence is also a little dodgy, I think you mean:

    Ya hochu tebya, kak moya vechnaya lyubov (I want you as my eternal love)
    or better yet: Ya hochu, chtobi ty byla moei vechnoi lyubovyu
    Hei, rett norsken min og du er død.
    I am a notourriouse misspeller. Be easy on me.
    Пожалуйста! Исправляйте мои глупые ошибки (но оставьте умные)!

    Trusnse kal'rt eturule sikay!!! ))

    Tebya & Vas both the same meaning?

    tebya is the "familiar tone"
    vas is the "respectful tone" as you would say to strangers or older people.
    Like in french "vous" and "tu".

    If you talk about eternal love, use the "tebya".

    But to answer your question, yes, they both mean "you"

    What about this meaning?
    kogda ya govor'u, chto ya l'ubl'u Vas, yavl'ayets'a navsegda

    I'm a new student to russian but i study hard, so i hope this is right:

    kogda (when) ya (I) govor'u meaning i say/speak chot (what/that) ya (I) l'ubl'u vas (i love you) ya ( I) vl'ayets'a (i mean) navsegda (forever)

    so it basically means that "when i say i love you, i mean forever."

    Does anyone know how to type sounds like Daffy Duck? .........Because I think now would be an appropriate occasion!
