Yeah, I know an adjective can act as a noun, but ajectives come is three edings, by gender. How do you determine what gender it is? Because there is another noun which has the gender.Originally Posted by VendingMachine
Notice how спальня (short for спальная), туалетная, and гостиная are all feminine and are all types of rooms. Is it a coincidence that "комната" is also feminine? No because the full version is спальиая комната, туалетная комната, гостиная комната. That's all I was trying to say with "парадная дверь".
How dare you talk about the way Russian is spoken in St Pete then? You sound like an American pontificating about BrE.[/quote]Oh yeah, about the actual question. I've never lived in russia,
I didn't, that's taken completely out of context. I never talked about how people speak in St. Pete, becuase I've never been there! I went on to say how people speak in Dnepropetrovsk. I simply wanted to show that people say подъезд in Dnepropetrovsk as well as the other places that otehr people mentioned. That's it.
...unlocked a tripple armour-plated door with its fangs... it wasn't a rat, it was a мышерокер.[/quote]one time I saw a rat, (huge, probably about 25 inches long, with the tail.) and it jumped out of one window, ran across the подъезд (outside), and then jumped into another window.
мышерокер? WTF?? No, it was a самая настоящая крыса. It didn't have to unlock any doors, it was a window remember? and the window was also broken.
Sure. You kept your lazer gun cocked each time you were getting home. Scotcher, beam 'im up, will ya.[/quote]There were also numerous cat-fights (not girls fighting, actual cats), and they would battle around the подъезд and it often got quite bloody.
Youre just a weirdo. :P
