Обратите внимание что глагол модифицируется либо прилагательным (в случае "пахнуть"), либо причастием (в случае "нюхать").
She smells nice. (She sheds a nice aroma)
She smells nicely. (She smells nicely with her nose)
My understanding is that (по)нюхать is pretty close to English "to sniff" or "to take a whiff of" -- in other words, to inhale deeply through the nose (on purpose) in order to smell something, such as a flower. But (по)чувствовать запах is more like "to notice a smell" (perhaps accidentally). So, you could say:
Я понюхал свою рубашку и почувствовал запах табака.
"I sniffed my shirt and smelled the scent of tobacco."
Or:
Я понюхал свою рубашку -- она пахла табаком.
"I sniffed my shirt -- it smelled of tobacco."
Note that "пахнуть + instrumental" means "to smell like such-and-such".
I think this would be От неё приятно пахнет -- i.e., an impersonal construction, literally meaning "From her it smells pleasantly."Quote:
She smells nice. (She sheds a nice aroma)
Hmmm, maybe this could be У неё сильное обоняние -- "She has a strong sense of smell"? ("She smells nicely" sounds a bit strange in English -- it's better to say "She smells very well" or "She has an acute sense of smell.")Quote:
She smells nicely. (She smells nicely with her nose)
P.S. But even though the noun обоняние ("the olfactory sense") can be used with people, my impression is that the verb обонять ("to detect a smell") is nearly always used in reference to non-human creatures.
E.g., "The shark smells blood in the water", Акула обоняет кровь в воде.
"Акула обоняет" - не звучит.
Акула почувствует малейшее присутствие крови на большом расстоянии.
От неё приятно пахнет -
Хорошо, а можно сказать и "Она приятно пахнет".
У неё сильное обоняние -
Лучше:
"У неё хорошее обоняние" ,
"Она хорошо чувствует запахи",
"У неё хороший нюх" (также в фигуральном смысле)
Акула обоняет кровь в воде
"Акула чует запах крови в воде"

Точно! Чует - самое верное слово для smell.Quote:
Акула чует запах крови в воде
I smell the scent of tobacco. Я чую запах табака.
What part of the speech is the word "безразличны". Is it an adjective a verb or something else?
краткая форма , short form of plural, adjective безразличный
So the sentence: "мне безразличны деньги" must be translated as: "To me money are indifferent"?
I'd translated your sentence as "Money mean nothing to me".
But yet it is the matter of the context. Either you want to say that you have so much money that the sum discussed is too low to pay attention to it. Or you emphasise that money is not the most important thing to you. You have other life values.
But I am not native too.
I don't want to exploit your kindness but can you please translate me these economic definitions:

7. Profit
8. Marginal Cost

Can please anyone tell me how you say in Russian: "I feel dizzy (i.e. everything is turning around)".
