    How silly of me

    How silly of me


    How would you say this in Russian? What's important is the format:
    How .... of me

    Oh, you used a verb. So the format of "How .... of me" doesn't really exist in Russian, does it?

    You can also use the expression "как это (было) глупо с моей стороны".

    For example,

    Как наивно с твоей стороны: how naive of you
    Как странно с его стороны: how strange of him
