Translation and Transliteration
Hi all,
I have 2 quick queries:
1) Is there an easy way of writing in the cyrillic alphabeth on a computer with a western keyboard? At the moment I'm writing in MS word using short cut keys to insert the symbols :cry: Is there a better way?
2) Is my translation & transliteration of the below correct or is my word order wrong?
I watched my new dvd today.
Я наблюдал мой новый dvd сегодня
Ya nabludal moi novui dvd segodnya.
Spasibo
:lol:

Мой doesn't sound fine in this sentence. Свой either...
This variant is more or less ok:
Я посмотрел сегодня DVD-фильм, который недавно купил.
Ya posmotrel segodnya dvd-film, kotoryi nedavno kupil.
There is no any 'the only correct' way of transliterating Cyrillic words into Latin letters, by the way.

Yes, there is. If you are using Windows just go to the Control Panel and find an option that allows you to add different languages (I can't tell you the name, because mine is not in English).
Then google for an image of a Russian keyboard, and if possible start to learn how to type in Russian without looking to the keyboard. It took me just 2 weeks, and I didn't use any programmes. You start writing simple words "папа" "мама" "молоко" again and again, and in a few days your brain knows where all the keys are.
