How are they written in cyrillic? Is there a reason for the difference in spelling?
There is not this name - "Mashenika"
Mashenka - Машенька
Thanks!
Can you call an adult Mashenka? or is Mashenka only for little girls?
Little girls, your girlfriend, your close friend, rarely your buddy (depends on relationship), your daughter, your sister (also depends on your relationship, if you feel well to call her such a caressing name), your secretary (if you're the boss) and... that's all I think.
Thanks!
Someone told me Mashenka is only for little girls. So that's not true, you can also use them for adults you are close to?
ps. I don't call anyone Mashenka. I'm just curious about the name.
'Buddy' usually means a male friend of a man :)Quote:
rarely your buddy
Absolutely.Quote:

Ну я знаю, я просто хз, как сказать это по отношению к девушке.Quote:

Buddy is usually for guys, that's right. But you can also use buddy for girls. It's alright to use buddy for a girl. Two guys can be buddies, two girls can be buddies, a guy and a girl can be buddies (of course only if the girl isn't sexy! :lol:).
Thanks for the help with the name Mashenka! :thumbs:
YES. Depends upon a situation.Quote:

Можно, кстати, посмотреть на мою подпись.
It's "my awful English".Quote:

So I repeat: Машеника is not a common Russian name.
Что значит "not common"? Из твоих слов можно понять, что это имя в России есть, но оно просто не распространено. Такого имени просто нет.Quote:

Ob'asnyayu po-russki:
Eto znachit chto imya Машеника v Rossii pochti ne upotreblyaetsa. Ya nashel vsevo lish neskol'ko ssilok na Google, gde eto imya, Машеника, mozhno uvidet'. No dovol'no mnogo (1260) ssilok na imya Mashenika (latinskimi bukvami).
Why is it so difficult to understand?
Да нет такого имени, а ссылки в Гугле на него появляются после таких аот дурацких дисскусий.
Если кого-то в Америке зовут Tanya (Танья), это же не значит, что есть такое иностранное имя Танья, которое "is not common in Russia". :roll:
If you find something in Google it doesn't mean this something is right. I hope you are not a 5-10 old child to get it. As a matter of fact the Internet is VERY questionable source of information.Quote:

Оно не "почти" не употребляется, а просто - НЕ УПОТРЕБЛЯЕТСЯ. Его НЕТ.Quote:

ЗЫ. А в Америке есть ещё имя "Машона". :lol: Теннисистка есть даже такая - Mashona Washington.
Интересно звучит уменьшительное от этого имени. :wink:Quote:

Or better yet, "This name isn't Russian" or "This name doesn't exist in Russian."Quote:
