Thread: Asking a russian girl for a date

Hi,

New to speaking Russian, I know Hi (Pree-vee-et) and Goodbye (Pah-kah)
I'm so advanced! hehe

I want to ask this girl to go out with me. She is Russian, I am not sure quite how to ask. I figured in her native language would be a cool way to ask her for a date.

One guy I know suggested (typed) to me, "poidom posmotrim kino?"
He said this translates to: "We go see movies?" is that correct?

Do I pronounce like this: poy-dumb poze-mow trimm keenoh? Which words do I emphasize? Please excuse my ignorance!

If someone could record this for me (say it slow once, and then normal speed please!), so I get the pronunciation right, that would be greatly appreciated!

Also, does anyone know of another good way to ask her out in Russian dialect? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance for your time!

Here's my attempt but I'm not a native speaker so wait for one of them to post a better one.

Thanks for your help! much obliged

It was very good!
Nice voice, Basurero

The only slip is "posmotrim". "posmotrim"

you can say: "Хочешь пойти в кино?" - "hochesh poiti v kino?

Wouldn't the correct way to say this phrase be "поидём посмотреть кино"?

ho-chesh pay-tee fkee-no

ho = like in horde
pay = to rhyme with Guy, Pie, Try

Stress falls on the bolded vowel.

пойдём посмотрим кино...
пойдём (по)смотреть кино...
идём/пойдём в кино?
even пойдём сходим в кино!
в кино хочешь?
в кино не хочешь ли?
хочешь фильм посмотреть?
как насчёт кинА? (sleng)

Можете ли вы записать эти фразы? Я не уверен в том, как сказать их в качестве вопросов.

Don't overload him with information, he'll just get confused. basuerro's post answered his question perfectly and is sufficient for his needs!

How is this? Please don't laugh!

Sorry, I did laugh But it's good.
Since what you want to learn of the Russian language is just one phrase, you needn't sound as a native speaker - it'd be a little strange.

Basurero! Two my favourite for you

The second one.

Спасибо, красота-то какая. Это здорово помогает, потому что мне еще довольно трудно отличать интонацию вопроса от интонации нормального предложения.

Зато пишешь ты хорошо А понимание интонации со временем придёт.

Sorry to intrude, but I find this fascinating; I can't play the mp3 attachments
and rkimber, it sounded perfect to me!! (of course I don't speak a lick of Russian!!)

Good voice, Красота!

Спасибо
