    Are you sure you didn't encounter a bit of Ukranian somewhere? I've seen я це люблю on the McDonald's cups before and I actually asked about it on this forums. If I recall correctly, TATY told me it was Ukrainian for это.

    It's Ukrainian for the Russian Это

    It's actually directly translates as the archaic Russian Се (neuter of Сей)

    Ukrainian:

    Цей - masc.
    Ця - fem.
    Це - neut.
    Ці - plural


    Я це люблю is what you find written on MacDonald's packaging here in the UK (among other languages).

    Я люблю is the same in Ukrainian and Russian.

    Это смешно, что Макдоналдс выбрал украинский язык вместо русского для чашек

    Who said they chose instead of Russian.

    There are a few language on it. French, Chinese, Arabic, Ukrainian, some other I don't recognise.

    In Russia they have Вот что я люблю

    This is why you don't use online translators.

    Well, what's wrong with that one is you spelled "sentence" wrong.

    You are translating very much word for word.

    Like, If I translate every Russian word into English the sentence sounds like good English. Therefore it's not good Russian.

    But I can't see much wrong with it, perhaps word order.

    That's the one reason I got a Russian Grammar book, so my sentences didn't sound like that.

    "Это смешно, что" sounds an English calque.
    "Для чашек" is not a good word order, though possible.

    I didn't actually mean that that phrase wasn't correct (although I guess it wasn't!). I was just joking, by saying it took your phrase in English, supposedly translated it into Russian, but spit it back out in Ukrainian!

    It's ok - the labels on the Coca-Kola in Ukraine shouts:
    Пiйте Coca-Kola
    or something like this.
    Я так думаю.

    ОК, but look here, this is a quote from another thread. I asked a question and this was the reply:


    Як це?
    http://www.polusharie.com/

    ST может это порекомендует
    http://japanese.about.com/mpboards.htm

    Но к сожалению...
    How do you explain this? What does як це mean?

    The bear looked at the car, and reflections of fire danced in his eyes. He knew what to do.
