Eugene and Bob - - Your explanations were very helpful. In summary I'll use the idea that something is either intrinsically possessed, or not. As I progress into the spoken language I'm sure I'll...

I know what you mean, Aurelian…and it helps me see the problem Russians are having with my writing; for instance, even though in my mind I think “use” in English, when I write “использование” a...

I'll see what I can find...although I'm not sure what you mean by impersonal constructions...

Paul - - I’ll try to isolate some patterns in my textbook and what I read. I don’t want to sound too much like I’m just repeating things I copy down, you know. I do have a question about the genitive...

I studied your corrections Aurelian, and I see how much easier it is to say things that way. I do notice, though, that some of the English meaning is lost. Generally subtle differences. I think part...

I use ABBYY Lingo dictionary for PC, Paul :) It's reasonably comprehensive, and does show examples on definitions. I'll pay more attention to them now and try to be more selective in my words....

I think it’s important to have a balance between strict use of grammar, and the freedom to express oneself while in the process of learning. I respect your adherence to grammar, Eugene, while at the...

ха ха :) У меня номеру к Граммар-наци :)

ha ha:) I have the number to the Grammar-Nazi :)

Yes, I can see how that sounds better. It's interesting that with "в учебник" you used the accusative case, instead of the prepositional. I'm disappointed though. It looks like I got many of the verb...

ha ha…sounds like you’re a rebel, Aurelian :) Maybe just a realist? I think most of us learn about the grammar of our own language, and then as we get older we forget the rules but speak or write...

Aurelian - that's okay, use Russian or English. The practice is what is important :)

Fester - Yes, it can be overwhelming, but I enjoy it, so that's good. I do listen to internet TV. Verbal...

I must admit that I had not considered aspect of verbs, everyone :( On your advice I read up on this aspect in my textbook, and understand what you mean about the nuances of meaning. I will try to be...

Спасибо Paul. If I want to say "I will remember that" would I say "Я буду это помнить", or "Я буду это помнаю"?

Thanks Seraph, Paul…one last question

Винительный неодуш. мой мою моё, мое мои

Пожалуйста...что...

I probably should apologize because in the fluster of the moment I thougtht "зовут" was "name". I imagine it should have been "моя имя кевин"? I've been trying to keep it simple so I use the cases...

Thanks Paul and Fester. I'm familiar with cases, and thought I was using them properly. Apparently I wasn't :( I have charts for declension, but perhaps I still think in English, and not in Russian....

Извините...Я изучаю не с учебниками...я читать веши: рассказ, вести, так далее. Пожалуй я очень много ошибки сделаю :( У меня таблицу с грамматиками, что я возвращаю для нового рассмотрения...и тоже...

Мой зовут Кивин (kgcole)…Мне нравиться менять мысли по-руски с кто-нибудь, что тоже хочеться. Спасибо Eugene для пошлого контакт, здесь можно познакомить. Все приглашаю как собеседники...ха ха…
