I think it would be very useful to have a list of common phrases for those learning Russian at an intermediate level (such as myself). I've spent two full days searching for such a list on the internet with NO RESULT.

Thing is, I don't even know what to call these "common phrases"... I'm not talking about idioms, but simply about those short words that people use all the time. I'm specifically interested in the way these words are used together. words like и, да, and нет! (and more complicated words) (even though I think да is a very complicated word). :P what I mean is, for a foreigner learning Russian, there are so many particles inserted into sentences which confuse me, but once you get an explanation it really improves and enriches your understanding of the language! I've been studying Russian for about a year and I really feel that this is where I get stuck. for instance I recently found out that "да нет, ..." is equivalent to "on the contrary, ..." finally it makes sense what people have been saying to me!

Wouldn't it be great to have a list of such "phrases"? I think it would be extremely useful for anybody learning Russian!

so, does anyone want to help me out? please?
заранее спасибо!
