And can you write it in our alphabet?

 

Coz one of my major difficulties with russian was exactly your alphabet, for instance, i remember the D seemed like a boat...:teehee:

 

Sure, I'll write with latin letters :thumb_yello: And yeh, our alphabet is quite different to latin :fisch: But I don't understand why does Russian 'D' look like a boat? 'Д' - oh, yes, you're right :doh:

 

But only block-letter D looks like this. When you write it capital letter looks almost like latin and small letter looks like latin g :fisch:

Right, i've remembered that...:thumb_yello:

 

So how do you say:

 

Hi

How are you?

How are your children?

Dog

Cat

Good morning

Good afternoon

well,numbers?dates?common greetings like the way to say 'hello''morning''goodbye'....those parts that the language teachers teach young kids....my English teacher taught me once and i forgot them all!!!!just some words like 'salut''bonjour''cava'stayed in my mind.......help.........:aah:

 

Alright, so numbers.

1- un

2- deux

3- trois

4- quatre

5- cinq

6- six

7- sept

8- huit

9- neuf

10- dix

11- onze

12- douze

13- treize

14- quatorze

15- quinze

16- seize

17- dix-sept

18- dix-huit

19- dix-neuf

20- vingt

 

Then, from 20 onwards, it's kind of like 17,18,19. So say the number was 23, you'd say the word for 20 and the word for 3. 23 would be vingt-trois. Also, anything that's with 1 (21,31,41, etc) you say "et" in between the two numbers (the word for and). So 21 would be vingt-et-un. The rest until 100 are

30- trente

40- quarante

50- cinqante

60- soixante

 

Then starting at 70, they are kind of different.

For 70, you say the word for 60, plus the words after 10. Like what you'd get if you subtracted 60 from that number.

70-soixante-dix

71-soixante-onze

72- soixante-douze

Like that.

 

80- quatre-vingts

 

Then the 90's are similar to 70's. You say the word for 80, then what would be left if you subracted 80 from that number.

90- quatre- vingt-dix

91-quatre-vingt-onze

 

100 is cent. 200 is deux-cent and it continues like that in the hundreds. If you had a number like 456 it would be "quatre-cent-cinqante-six"

(hyphens aren't too important, a space would do fine as well)

 

1000 is mille and the same idea carries. 2000 is deux-mille. A number like 9286 would be "neuf-mille deux-cent quatre-vingt-six"

 

It took me a while to learn numbers, but once you understand the basics it's not bad to figure out :thumb_yello:

I'd like to learn some italian because that's the only accent I can imitate xD No seriously I think it's beautiful language and it's easier to learn it with help from a native speaker, instead of my own ^^

 

And yes as stated previously I'll gladely help anyone with Swedish :wink2:

Hi I'm a native Japanese, could you ask me anything about Japanese language.

 

 

Yahoo answers : "What's the language difference between Chinese, Japanese, and Korean?"

 

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060801165452AARZgp7

 

 

 

English : I love you.

 

Chinese : 我愛你。( wǒ ài nǐ )

 

Japanese : 私はあなたを愛しています。( watashi wa anata wo aisite imasu )

 

 

 

Japanese language has three writing systems.

1. Kanji

2. Hiragana

3. Katakana

 

like this

English "love"

 

1. Kanji -- 愛

2. Hiragana -- あい

3. Katakana --　アイ

 

 

Learning Japanese is very interesting, hope you try to do !! :thumb_yello:
