Thread: Some more translation

Here I am back again with another question:
How do you say "from now on" and "from today on" in russian? I figured it has to be something like с сейчас and с сегодня. If so, how do you pronounce the double с? Do you pronounce it extra long, like sseytshas or not at all?
Заранее большое спасибо!

from now on - в дальнейшем; впредь; с этих пор; отныне

from today on - начиная с сегодняшнего дня

And what verb tense do you use after that? Perfect, imperfect or both? And do you pronounce the initial c?

Usually the future tense is used:

С сегодняшнего дня я буду учиться лучше.

(Я ещё не начал это делать)

but we can use present as well:

С сегодняшнего дня я занимаюсь спортом.

(Я уже начал это делать)

and the past tense too:

С сегодняшнего дня я бросил курить.

(I've given up smoking today earlier than I said that)

And yes, we do pronounce the first "с". (make a pause between the words to make it sound clearly).

What about с этого дня?

Or is that more colloquial that с сегодняшнего дня?

It's quite good to use.

No, it doesn't have too much of colloquial feel.
