About LinkBacksI've not seen this before, but in a grammar book it mentions the demonstrative pronoun Экий. What does it mean, and when (if ever) is it used?

"Экий" is used if you'd like to point at something astonishing, surprising (or annoying) or if you'd like to sneer at smth.
"Экий он!" means "so that's him!", "oh, look at him!"
It seems to me, this word is not used very frequently.
In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.
Olya is slighly wrong.
Экий дурак! - What a fool!

The correct letter is Э not ЗOriginally Posted by zomby_pengy
Nearly no difference at all in this context
Какой - more suitable for a written language
Экий - more colloquial with a slightly sardonic touch.
You cannot use экий instead of какой in all cases but you can always use какой instead of экий, though your speech will become more formal.

So if it had an English equivilent, would it be like someone saying 'I say! what a fool', since that hardly gets used and means the same thing.
Please correct any Russian language mistakes I make.
