russian

[kagekaibutsu]

I do not have any russian font to show anyone, but I can right out words in english to make them sound russian if somebody wants. For example:

hello=zdrastvooyteh

[Dionysus]

hello=zdrastvooyteh
Oh my. :oh That's very hard to say.

Thanks though. :tem

How about goodbye?

[imagineer18]

oohh...i've always wanted to learn Russian...

can you teach the basics, as in with the letters and all that? (me: ah...shut up me, damn your calligraphy obssession.)

[Khyper]

Lol, the letters. Just learn the cyrillic alphabet. If you need any help, I can throw some in here. A ti po rooski hovorish, kagekaibutsu?

[-Bakkun-]

Goodbye = Paka

[imagineer18]

what's a Cyrillic alphabet?

[waisuke]

Yeah, I'd like to learn too! I have a Russian teacher at my school but he doesn't teach any languages. Hopefully this goes on.

[imagineer18]

so what is a cyrillic alphabet? can someone post a site so i can start learning? i usually learn from leaning how to read and write first.

[waisuke]

cyrillic alphabet is just another name meaning russian alphabet..here is a website so you can see the alphabet and click onto the words to know what they sound like.. http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfriends/language/russian-alphabet.html ok?

[imagineer18]

thanks!!

how about some sites where i can learn grammar and stuff?

[BulletMonk]

[OmniStrife]

I : Ya
You : Ti
He : On
She : Ona
They : Oni
You (plural) : Wi

[BulletMonk]

This is a phrase that you should learn in as many languages as you can :

I love you : Ya tebia lioubliou

[imagineer18]

yes, yes, thanks for the Russian phrases but is there any site i can go to, where i can learn by myself?

[waisuke]

you could try to google it... don't know how, if I could find a website I'll give you the link

[Leen]

I know one word only. My brother, who is currently in Volgograd studying medicine taught me.

Thank u - spasiva or something like that.

haha..

[Chi]

So? Nobody learning Russian anymore?
How sad... Such a great language...

Actually i can help if someone willing. But i doubt, that i'll be a good teacher :P

Question: What does "sovjet" mean? I know it was the name of the Sovjat Union, but i dont think Lenin just pulled the name out of the blue. So the word itself has got to mean something

[Chi]

Question: What does "sovjet" mean? I know it was the name of the Sovjat Union, but i dont think Lenin just pulled the name out of the blue. So the word itself has got to mean something

It's difficult, but i'll try...

"Sovet" is like a group of people who are representative from their social class, or somthn... Like "sovet" of workers and peasants, "sovet" of soldiers".
All authority in USSR belonged to such groups of peoples.
And they ruled empire together :evil

So you have "Soviet Union". Basicly Union of groups of people, that are representative from their social class..

P.S. Well.. I don't sure about social classes.. i mean i don't know if you really can call them social classes, but i guess you catched the main idea..

[mr_shadow]

Ok, thanks. I think i get it ^^

Im pretty well aquainted with the communist philosophy (some claim i AM a communist), so i can see why they picked that name

[Chi]

I was born in 1985, means i lived like 6 first years of my life in USSR..

And really.. Comunism isn't as bad as some people describing it.
It's like idea of ideal country, where all people are even. Everyone got a job and food. It's only utopia of corse.. :amuse

[mr_shadow]

Whoo, can i touch you? ^^

Anyway, i suppose im what they call a euro-communist. I belive in a peaceful transition from capitalism to communism throug elections, not throug killing the previous government.

Well.. There is always such thing as "Human factor". Because of that, i doubt communism will work anywhere for too long without some extra measures..
In USSR people always was in iron hands.. Authorities always knew what is needed and what is done. People were living and that's was fine... But then came Gorbachev with his reforms and it's all started.. Some "side powers" (i mean peoples in Russia who wanted power, or money or for whatever reason) feeled the weakness and torn USSR apart..

Humans don't know what they want..

[mr_shadow]

En explaination i heard (donno if its true or not) is that Russia wasent "ready"

Marx divided history in the periods of: Communism (primitive societys)-dictatorship-capitalism-socialism-communism again

Since Russia skipped one step (went directly from dictatorship to socialism), some say that people dident know how "evil" capitalism was.

[Chi]

Well.. I sure they know now.. Seing what happened to Russia after fall of USSR. Someone tryed to keep on living like he was, but some people literraly took country apart.. Uhh.. It's just impossible to describe how it all went..
It's scary to live in Russia now..

But i doubt that USSR will come back anytime soon.. Situation now is much more complicated.. Back in 191x whole world was in the 1st world war, so nobody gave a damn about what was happening in Russia. And so was in 194x when Russia "took over" some countries.. Now nobody will give such a chanse to Russia..

But.. History has a bad habit of repeating itself, so...

Now I have 9 hours of practical russian weekly + 3 hours of russian grammar, and some times when I write sth I wanna use cyrilica instead of latin alphabet (I'm not even sure right now how do U spell alphabet in english, but in russian it's like "*Duh* 'alfavit' of course")

To Olaf. There is more meanings to word "sovet'. If you study you'll probably learn it some day..

And maybe you can help me with alphabet, cause i'm not sure how to explain some letters... My english sucks :P

[mr_shadow]

Is the word supposed to be pronounced "sovet", and in that case, why would it be spelled "sovjet" in swedish?

By the way, i know this russian girl (but she cant speak the language any good), and shes a MODERATE! Thats the swedish capitalist-party, so it feels like a contradiction. But i guess you shouldent judge people by what country their from

Well it's probably "sovjet". It's just written "совет" in russian. So i'm just replacing each letter with latin letter. Like this:

С О В Е Т
S O V E T

:)

[mr_shadow]

Ok. My improvised pronounciation is something like "zåvijet". Donno if its right. Se the swedish thread on the pronounciation of "Å"

one of the cornerstones to developing a fake russin accent seems to be replacing all "S" with "Z"

[rimpelcut]

it's pronouced sovet with the ve pronouced like we and the e pronouced short like emrald

[Chi]

You can figure out how it's pronounced by matching sounds and letters with my alphabet...

it's "С О В Е Т" :P

It's a word in russian language, just like every other word. Don't see any problems with that :)

so she must see this thread.......
she want to be a doctor........

[avraell]

What do you mean?
No one says "ibo"?

I mean in that context you would say "potomu chto" or "iz za tago chto." "Ibo" is old/religious russian like: "Prosi proshenee greshnik, ibo ti budesh goret v adu" or something like that. I am Russian and I lived there most of my life, so I am not trying to bash you, just explaining that you wouldnt use it in everyday speech. Altough people will understand you if you do, its ackward.

Yes.. I know that it's an old word. But it's kinda stuck in my head since the day I heard it. I'm using it for a few years already, and you are the first person who ever commented on that :)
It's also easier to write "ibo" than "potomu chto" :P

First of all: I checked the stuff on cyrillic, and the sounds are the same as in swedish! Shure the russians write em with different letters (i belive Cyrillic was intentionalle made confusing), but swedes also pronounce A as "ah" and not "Eiy". Wee for europe!

Second of all: when spoken slowly russian is the ultimate creepy language ^^. There was this swedish show a while ago where in one episode they encountered a GRU agent, and he ranks with "most disturbing voices of all time"

I might get to learn russian in a few years, cuz sweden has compolsory military service for males. And i found out that you can apply to be a interputor, where you get to learn russian and how to neogtiate and stuff. Supposedly its becouse Russia is considered the greatest threat right now (we´re almoust neighbors, they got nukes, and we´ve had lots of conflicts througout history).

Its not gonna be a walk in the park thoug. Your in the army for about one year, and in that time your supposed the become near-fluent! So the studying rivals the physical training of the infantry :P

Coolest part is that interputors count as being Military Intelligence. Better start practicing my Men In Black routine...

A little late, but..

I'm pretty certain it must be "внемли" and not "бнемли". I of course can mistaken, and "бнемли" is an old variation of the word, but anyway.

"Внять" means "to listen attentively". So you'r right..
The sentence means "And attentively listened to their prayers"
