There would be a lot fewer people learning Russian if the first word they had to learn was "Здравствуйте".

Ой! :o Я прямо сейчас бросаю изучать русский язык.

Кстати, что значит? :)

что-то вроде a very uncomfortable eye outpicker with a 29 millimeter super-over-under-out-under-twist

иногда изучение русского может превратиться в наибесполезнейшее времяпровождение, превращающееся в полный бесперспективняк. :)

And couldn't глазовыколупыватель be lenthened to глазовыколупывательница?

одиннцадцатитысячный
двадцатидвухтысячный
сорокатысячный
одиннадцатимиллиардный

Я не знал, что можно создавать такие слова. Они правильны?

Да, конечно, они правильные. Это же числительные!

Я думал, что обязательно сказать что-то вроде “Двадцать два тысячный”, но это в пять раз лучше.

Ну, как насчёт этого? Двухсотсорокамиллионовмил лиардный LOL :D

What about двухсотсорокамиллионный? Or двухсотсорокамиллиардный?

a million billions....hmm...does it make much sense in English?

You can have a million billion, but since the number doesn't occur very much in day-to-day arithmetic, that sort of thing is generally jocular...

There is a Д (a D) in the word! You can't just miss it out cos you feel like it

зДравствуйте

the first в isn't pronounced though.

I am not pronouncing it correctly.

I understand the first в is silent. Also, I do know there is a д there. Its just a difficult combination of letters compared to English and I need to practice speaking it more cleanly.

Thanks!

Meh, it's just a voiced version of straight.

The Z is less audible than the D anyway.

I disagree with you completely. Straight and здравствуйте are nothing alike.

This does help though. I was given advice to make the 'зд' sound more like 'сд'. I will focus more stress on the 'д' rather 'з'.

Notice just the STR was highlighted.

I made a typo, but meant: It's a voiced version of straight, meaning the consonant cluster at the beginning.

S is just a devoiced Z (З)
T is just a devoiced D (Д)

Basically the tongue in English ST, is the the same place and follows the same route as Russian ЗД........ although not strictly true since Russian T and D are dental, but that is hardly any difference.
