    More words 4/20

    These are the words I am trying to memorize today.

    Считать = count/consider
    Колотить = bang
    потрескаться = to crack
    Локоть = elbow
    Висеть = hang
    Поправить = to repair
    Лень = laziness
    подниматься. = to rise
    свидание = appointment, meeting, date
    Запоминать = to remember
    Шапка = cap/hat

    Can anyone put these into a sentence so that I can get a feel for their meanings?

    E.g.
    I always count the hats that are hanging on the wall but I never remember how many there were.
    Я всегда считаю шапки, которые висят на стене, но я никогда не запоминаю, сколько был.

    When I banged my elbow, I cracked the window, but I was too lazy to repair it.
    Когда я колотил локоть, потрескаюсь окно, но я был слишком ленив, чтобы поправить это.

    Thanks in advance.
    Какая разница, умереть богатым или бедным?

    Какой толк от богатства если ты не счастлив.

    Когда я колотил локоть, потрескаюсь окно, но я был слишком ленив, чтобы поправить это.
    Когда я стукнул("Колотить" means a continious banging) локтём, треснуло окно, но я был слишком ленив, чтобы починить его. Also instead of "но я был слишком ленив, чтобы починить его" it's better to say "но мне было лень его чинить"

    BTW, did you intentionally take the name Friendy or did you misstype Friendly?

    Maybe I should post these words in the Vocabulary section?

    Kwatts, why are you only learning one aspect of the verbs. Learn them both yo, or else u can only say one aspect.
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!

    пытался окно шапками закидать - кидал-кидал, кидал-кидал...даже не запомнил сколько их и набросал. Короче - докидался, локоть себе вывихнул ..и окно треснуло. А чинить - лень, да и на свидание уже пора.

    I thought that -y here is a diminutive suffix. Like a little friend or something.

    It's not a sentence but a situation:

    Однажды утром...

    Лень подниматься так рано! Вчера расколотил будильник из-за этого. Потрескался корпус, надо его поправить. Запоминаю на будущее. Да ещё и локоть об него ободрал... Сколько же времени сейчас? Надо посчитать... Эй, у меня ж свидание скоро!.. Где моя шапка висит?

    слово Friendy is understood as being the action of being a friend.
    It is Winter and Very Cold.

    You are quite right about that. Like dog - doggy.

    That is also implied.

    My God... I didn't realize that either, I always saw "Friendly" when I read it... I can't find it now, but there was an email going around that had a paragraph in English, and the letters of the words were all mixed around, but as long as the first and last letters were kept in place, you could read it without problem...
    Anyone know what I'm talking about or have it?

    EDIT:
    Sweet, I found it!
