С каких это пор слово "миссис" превратилось в "миссиз"?

Возможно, перед гласной "o" слово "миссис" все-таки превратится в "миссиз", поэтому "миссиз Оля" будет более грамотно. ;)
Для пресечения путаницы предлагаю самый удобоваримый вариант: "миз Оля" (Ms. Оля). :)

Ambi was absolutely correct to translate

Miss, Mrs., Mr.

as

Мисс, Миссис, Мистер

However, please note that you can't address a Russian person with that prefix. ;)

Ты правда произносишь [мисси-з-оля, ми-з-оля]? У меня эти согласные все равно оглушаются.

Да, правда. Так само собой получается, если просто говорить слитно. Точно так же, как и "an old man" вместо "a old man."

The more important point is that Ambi corrected herself later on. (Ambi, am I correct with the gender?)

An old - это не тот же случай.
Я такое произношение (когда согласные на конце слова не оглушаются, сливаясь со следующим словом, начинающимся с согласной) замечала только у людей с юга (из Ростова, Владикавказа например...).
Но миз-Оля или миссиз-Оля - это не "более грамотно". Это просто южное произношение. От диктора новостей по Первому каналу ты такого не услышишь.

Ambi did it after my post, so he didn't did it himself :P

И вообще, Crocodile , что ты меня путаешь?? :lol:

Как это "миз / миссиз Оля" может быть "грамотным" и произноситься ТАК, если слово оканчивается на ГЛУХУЮ согласную даже на письме? Если бы слово писалось "миз / миссиз", тогда бы да, так можно было бы произнести - на юге (наверное...). Но слово-то даже пишется мисс / миссис, так о каком "з" тут может идти речь?
Это у вас, товарищи, мозги конкретно под английский перезаточились.

There are two different things here and let's not mix them together:

1. "Ms." is pronounced as миз [miz] regardless of anything subsequent, just because that is a right thing to do: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ms

2. "Miss." or "Mrs." are regularly pronounced as мисс and миссис, but whenever the following name starts from a consonant, the [mis] would sound closer to [miz] just because it's natural for a human tongue. Compare with the standard Russian practice that does the same thing:

беспечный
безответный

The main difference between that and "Miss" is that "Miss" would only experience that distinction in speech, whilst the former would also have the distinction in writing. And that was the same context in which I brought my previous comment on "an old man" -- definitely not the same thing as "Miss," but something obvious to realize the simple rule of human enunciation - make your speech flow.

So, the important thing is not that "Miss" would end in "s" but that your name starts with "O." 8)

Please provide a link to justify your claim. Or at least give an obvious example to support it. I was born in Moscow and so I can hardly understand what you refer to.

From the first channel of what? The BBC? The CNN? Or you're trying to say that the news from Russian Первый Канал would refer to anyone as "Мисис Оля?" I can assure you that the most you could get from Первый Канал would be "Госпожа Оля."
:lol:

Crocodile, I can't get what are you talking about. What "Ms.", "Miss" and "Mrs" in Russian language? :o In Russian, there are only мисс and миссис which are pronounced [мис] and [мисис] only! There is no any з in those Russian words!

But it seems that you are really talking about the English words. But the discussion was started because of the Ambi's mistake (or typo) in the Russian word, so I don't know why are you talking about the English pronunciation.

No, I'm a MAN :evil:
Ребят, че вы спорите? Оля указала - я исправил. Конечно же миссис и пишется и говорится по-русски.

Я слышал, что американские нэйтивы повсеместно говорят "з" там, где английские - "с".

Mrs. is "missiz" (with a Z sound, not as S sound at the end), regardless of what letter the following name begins with.

Ambi - thank you for your translation. You were a tremendous help. I didn't mean to start a chain of events for Mr. Miss and Mrs.
What would you tell a russian child visiting in the US when you introduce them to an adult? For example - This is Mrs. Smith. Would you do the same thing for a Russian adult meeting an American adult?

Yes.

Basically Russians don't really use titles like Mr. Mrs. Miss. in the same way or as frequently as in English or other languages. But Russian use the English titles for English speaking people. So "this is Mrs. Smith" would be "eto missis Smit". However the English titles aren't used for Russians.

---

I don't think that a woman would introduce herself to a child (especially to a Russian child) as "Mrs.". I'm pretty sure they'd say to a child "This is [a name] (Paula, Emmy, Mary, etc)". I think the same with adults. Especially if they are in Russia. Because we use words like мисс, мистер, миссис mainly when reading literature, or translating English or American films...

My pleasure.
I think it doesn't really matter if it's a Russian child or an american one - in the US you would definitely tell them: This is Mrs. Smith. (or you have to know what to say if you're from US)
But if you ask me - What would you tell a Russian child in Russia when you introduce them to an adult? - I will tell you that we'd say, for example: Это дядя Ваня. If you think the kid is a big boy enough, you'd use the man's second name: Это Иван Петрович. The same about females, except for тётя: Это тётя Нина.

A Russian child could be not aware what "Miss" means. If he's little and speaks only Russian, he would never use this word because he just doesn't understand what an adressing like that means and how to use it. He could even think that Miss is a name and Smith is a surname.

Really? Are we talkng about a Russian kid living in the US or where? Is he to be much dumber than his American friend not to get what "Miss" means? Wow, you made my day :D

A kid who came to the US, I think. Otherwise he's not actually Russian. I don't think that when zakuski asked about Russian child he meant a kid who was only born in Russia and afterwards growned up in America. "Russian child" in a sentence like that, without any special context, means just "a child who speaks Russian", right?

How goes "Go and get some coffee"? (command) in russia?

How "Move it!/Do it!" (command, in a case when object of command is waiting for further information while he should be going already)

1. "Приготовь и принеси кофе."
2. "Пошёл! Давай!"

Quote:

1. Simply "Принеси кофе" or "Пойди принеси кофе". Приготовь is for Make here.

How is just a command "Go!"? Is it Приготовь?

to go is "Идтй" but how imperative mood is formed?

One more кофе-related question: "Go and buy coffee"

"Go!" as a command can be said in Russian either "Иди!" or "Пошел!" depending on context.

Imperative mood for "идти" is "иди(те)".

"Иди (or Пойди (check the plural, add -те)), купи кофе!" You can also replace the comma with "и" for "and".

As ambi said, it depends on context. :) "Иди." is neutral, like "You may go.", "Пошёл!" is more command and sounds like "Are you still here? Go!".

"Пойди купи кофе" is the best translation, I think.

Quote:

"Пошёл" as a command is ok only addressing a horse or a coachman...
If you say it to a person, it's VERY RUDE (and strange).
