Thread: privjet, friends

Hi! I'm brand-new here, although I've been looking around here for a bit. I'm eighteen, a student, and fiercely pro-Russia.
My goal is to move there and become a citizen.
I have a lot of reasons for wanting this,
but my first priority is learning Russian, obviously
I'd love it if you could help me.
I only know a handful of words, and the only one
I can write is privjet, so, as you can see, I've a looong way to go!

Hello, and thank you!

Hi and welcome!
Where are you from?..

By the way, it's better to write "privet" (without "j"), and much better - "привет".

Hi!
I'm from America,
and look, I already learned something.
Thanks!

Have you ever been before? And why do you want to become a citizen?

Danka, before you become a Russian citizen please vote for Obama!

I've never been.
I'm enamoured of their politics,
their government, and the way they approach things.
I'm done with America, I really am.
I just don't want to be the idiot American
wandering around Russia, not knowing the language.

I certainly plan to!
If he becomes president, I'll consider
staying in America for another couple of years

Why don't you want to move to China? Or may be Cuba? Or Venezuela?

Hi Danka!
Welcome here!
As I know the quantity of the genius and idiots is equal for any nation. There are much more people in Russia than in America, which means that there are much more idiots in Russia than in America.

I am a half-idiot Russian (my second half is though a genius).

One more time welcome to the site!

Where did you get the info that "There are much more people in Russia than in America"?

good luck and welcome to MR!

Yeah, population of America is like 2 times that of Russia's.

Danka, you have no idea how much Russia (or any other country for that matter) needs people like you! You have even more value when you don't know a word of Russian and can't reveal yourself.

Да ладно вам, отстаньте от парня, обычный юношеский максимализм. Это пройдёт.

Seems strange to me to have little if any knowledge of the culture of that country yet want to live there. You should definitely at least go for a month-long visit or so before making that decision. Here are a couple of things that come to mind: on average men die in their late fifties (it's been dropping again), no freedom of speech, by midcentury the Russians will be a minority in their country because of birthrates. Of course, America is heading in that direction as well.

I too would be interested in knowing what you have based your decision on.
