    Млин, ты меня так не пугай больше. Я думал, ты решил исправить мои ошибки. Там они есть, но мне по барабану. Главное, чтобы грамматика была правильной.

    Это ты зря, с тебя ведь учатся.
    А вообще, по стилю погдяди: там "мне понять-мне понять" - в начале и "язык-язык" - в конце, может чего и подправишь.

    According to your explanation - that is to say, clarification, I would like to say that I was partly wrong when I said that 'ни с того ни с сего' translates as 'suddenly and for no reason'. I just didn't even think that there might be other ways of translating the phrase. What I said isб however, correct. You can use the phrase ни с того ни с сего the way I referred to. Having read your last post, I realized that ни с того ни с сего can also translate as suddenly . Honestly, this was obvious for me. Which is why I failed to think of any other translation.

    Do you get it?
    It can mean "suddenly" or "suddenly and for no reason"?

    Depending on context, it can mean both
