    Telephone number

    Вы понизили номер телефона Светланы. Вы очень небрежны.
    You dropped/lost Svetlana's telephone number. You are very careless.

    Is my Russian sentence correct? Please help me.

    No, "Вы понизили номер телефона" sounds funny.

    Вы потеряли номер телефона Светланы. Вы очень небрежны (неаккуратны).
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Sorry, I don't understand your question about ' потеряли н' in my post.

    Понизить means to reduce, to demote.

    Потерять (терять) = to lose.

    Помнишь падал первый белый снег
    И небо было низкое и хмурое
    Что даже самый близкий человек
    казался лишь размытою фигурою.
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!
