Thread: Spasbo (?) I hope this is right :-)

Dear Denis and kwatts59,

Once again I have to say "Thank you ", so much for helping me with this translation. I am really greatful, and happy that you are so kind to do this. Maybe I should send you guys a small box of chocolates or something to say "Thank you". As I am currently living in Helsinki, Finland so I would not think that it would take so long for post to get to Russia. If you would like that , then please post to me your home address.

No, I am not a mad crazy woman, I just like to show my gratitude in this way. I believe that it is not my fault if I like to show my gratitude towards others this way because this is the way I have always been. I just hope that you don't think of it as being strange or anything.

You can email me and let me and let me know if you like too !
Poka!
Thank you
Francesca

Dear Francesca,
Helping you and other people to learn russian is the whole point of this forum! It's very kind of you to offer sending chocolates but not really necessary since I've done nothing extraordinary, just translated a few sentences. Besides I live in USA now ( and as far as I know kwatts59 too ) so it wouldn't be so easy either.

Just spend here more time helping people to learn russian/english or any other languages you know, it will be the best way to show your gratitude to me.

Good luck!

No, it's not right. It's Spasibo

technically its pronounced spaseeba. the tense of each vowel can be really annoying, considering "O" can be pronouced "A" when not stressed.

1. Verbs have tenses, not vowels.
2. I was transliterating. You did a phonetic transcription.
