  1. Re: Difficulties of translating. English/Russian

    I liked two dog breeds much better than others.

    so my family postponed a purchase of a pet from one year to the next.

    One of our friends phoned us and offered a cocker spaniel that was one...
  2. Re: Difficulties of translating. English/Russian

    I am too :roll:[/quote]

    Supposing you want to agree with the original quote, you should say 'I don't either'. You have to mirror the verb (I have - no you haven't; I must - no you mustn't...),...
  3. Re: Difficulties of translates. English/Russian

    That was very funny - I just read it aloud to my colleague. :lol: :ROFL:
  4. Re: Difficulties of translates. English/Russian

    Of course you can translate anything, but (the gerund notwithstanding) as you can see Russian needs two entirely different verb forms to express the progressive aspect of the English verb, depending...
  5. Re: Difficulties of translates. English/Russian

    It is no different if you translate English or Russian to German or the other way round. There are many things which you can translate word for word but the result isn't a normal sentence in the...
  6. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    I think it is different for every learner. Each needs to find his or her perferred way or learning. I, for instance, don't have much use for a teacher or standard teaching material such as flash...
  7. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    In that case it's a specific language, but it is also a linguistic term for a type of language. A pidgin language is what people use who have different native languages but are forced to communicate....
  8. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    Well, the aptitude children have for obtaining their native language dries up before puberty, normally. Some people are lucky enough to retain it, you send them into a foreign country for six weeks...
  9. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    Well, I really don't know enough Russian to comment on a translation into Russian... ;)

  10. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    Actually I suppose it is about an apple. Do you know Wilhelm Tell? His legend has it that he was a fighter for freedom in Switzerland's history. I don't recall all the details, but there's a story...
  11. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    Rest assured it is just the same here in Germany...

    Actually I spend much time on a forum at delphiforums which is about learning German, and I work there as a tutor. There are so many things I...
  12. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    Actually articles are quite simple, but that's easy for me to say as both my native German and English have them and use them in a similar fashion. Well, if you had to learn German you'd not only...
  13. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    That would be 'who wants the color of their hair to be changed?' or simply, without any passive, 'who wants to change their hair color?'.

    As for the first sentence, it should be 'I chose an...

    Thanks for the correction!

  15. Re: What are their modern songs about? What do they sing about?

    I want to play, too! ;)

    OK, I've been learning Russian for eight months only and English isn't my native language either, but here goes. I mentioned this song in Rockzmom's thread and linked to...
