Thread: Translation help

I can't work out what this sentence means because I can't find that word anywhere. Can anyone help?

А теперь я немного потренируюсь в английском

All I can get is: And now I *do something* a little in Russian

Thanks

потренироваться= the perfective (I guess) of тренироваться : to practise, to train.

It's a russified loan word - look at the stem: потренироваться....

Thank you!!!

That makes sense now. And oh yeah, I didn't notice the stem. Thanks BabaYaga

BabaYaga can be useful sometimes!!!

I have my bright moments - alas, they are few and far between!

You're very welcome, Начало

Actually, I dont think that its a perfect form of "тренироваться"
Потренироваться means "немного тренироваться" i.e. to train a little, not seriously, not with full devotion.
it usually uses with adverbs like "немного, чуть чуть, слегка" which mean that action will be carrying out not thoroughly.

perfect form is "натренироваться"

Oh, OK - thanks, Chuvak!!


*grumble grumble* argh, these Russian prefixes, suffixes, and inthemiddlefixes *grumble grumble* I'll never get the hang of them *grumble grumble*
