I didn't get the "больше помню слово" part. (I didn't understand the English variant either... )

If you don't mind my corrections:

The room was not trim, things were in a disorderly state.

Other ways to say this (yours is fine, too - "In a disordered state" is a bit formal, but okay):

The room was not neat, things were scattered about.

The room was not ship-shape, things were topsy-turvy.

The room was not tidy, things lay about( or, sprawled) where they had fallen. (probably the most literal translation)

Not exactly perfect translations, but maybe I'll remember the word (Попасть) better!

Может быть, я Буду лучше помнить слово. Is this understandable? Can I use "больше" as well?


Дорогая Оля! Мне следует изучать китайский язык? У меня слишком много ошибок в переводе!!!!

Dear Оля! Should I study Chinese (instead of Russian)? I make too many translation mistakes!!!

"Буду помнить smth" means "I'll keep smth in my mind".
Maybe what you mean is: Я получше вспомню это слово. But unfortunately, this doesn't sound very good in Russian, either. One could say, "Я еще вспомню (better: повспоминаю) другие значения этого слова".

If you don't need my corrections, please, only let me know.
The fact is that English and Russian languages, their wording and phrasing, are very different. But I don't think that English and Chinese are closer.

Oh, my, I am always in trouble with these "was - were"!


Thnx.

I'm not sure I like the word "trim" here. I think Winifred was just trying to keep the word from "trimmed", but It doesn't sound right to me to use it in the context of a room.

Sounds better: The room was not tidy...

Even more natural (conversational): The room was a mess.

Оля -Of course, please keep correcting, as long as you have energy to do so - I just worry about over-working you! My Russian isn't improving fast enough for me to say all I want to, in Russian!

Matroskin Kot - Yes, "trim" is a stretch, concerning a room. It does mean "in order" or "orderly," though, as in a trim ship or a trim lawn, so it could be used. But, I agree, (as I said, above), that "tidy" is the most literal translation.

I must admit that I love poetry, so when a word is stretched, but not wrong, sometimes I am charmed into admiring the use!

By the way, What does your name mean? What is a Matroskin Kot?

I think that what Winifred meant was "Наверное мои переводы несовершенны, но возможно они помогут мне самому получше запомнить это слово".

Wasn't it фамилие?

Addition:
I've listened to it and it definitely was.
Later, it's funny how he says "ремонтировают", derived from "ремонтировать".

He's a talking cat! Cut him some slack.

Actually, the way he talks is half the reason I like the character so much. The actor who did his voice (Tabakov?) is brilliant.

Was brilliant. Some time. Well, it's my own opinion which may be wrong.

You wrote his name correctly.

You don't like his later work?
