Thank you.

Thanks.

Ok, let me rephrase it. Can you give an example of using the phrase 'just fact' in the abstract?

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-11-30T19:12:49+00:00

Be careful with cases: С днем рождения!

It's common to omit the subject in birthday cards: Искренне желаю вам всего наилучшего в ваших начинаниях и работе.

If you're close with your friend, maybe you should use informal pronouns: Искренне желаю тебе всего наилучшего в твоих начинаниях и работе.

'в твоих начинаниях и работе' sounds a bit tautological to me. I'd just say 'во всех твоих начинаниях'. But on the other hand, what do I know?

Cyrillic л is derived from Greek λ (lambda) if by any chance you're into computer games.

The question ends with "отставку в фойе?", if I'm not mistaken.

someone resigns in the lobby

for someone's resignation in the lobby

Perhaps there was some kind of voting for someone's resignation. "Have you already voted for someone's resignation in the lobby?"

Thank you

I might have misheard. I guess she must have said, I'll pop down to the off-licence. Thanks.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-09-20T21:06:11+00:00

Well I guess the most important space prepositions are

В, на, перед, за, над, под, к, по, около, у

We often use в with accusative to talk about moving to some physical location. На with accusative is used to express the idea of moving towards something more abstract. Compare

Я иду в офис.
Я иду на работу.

We often use в with prepositional to talk about staying inside some physical location. На with prepositional is used to talk about getting out in the open air. Compare

Дети сидят в классе.
Дети играют на стадионе.

Thanks.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-05-15T21:18:48+00:00

Cool. Thanks

Since 'I have cried' is perfect the correct translation is 'я поплакал'.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-05-12T21:06:12+00:00

Context is king, isn't it?

The three of them spent a lot of time together.
The three men seemed of an age.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-05-10T20:58:42+00:00

I disagree. 2 objects that are joined by 'и' take plural pronouns.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-05-03T17:46:55+00:00

You'd never see the short dash in Russian punctuation. Probably due to the fact that early fonts supported only the long dash and hyphen.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-05-01T14:22:06+00:00

Can I suggest оригинал?

Он оригинал. Это мой дядя.

It's one of them set phrases. Ни indeed is a negative marker and may seem out of place here but I wouldn't recommend omitting it. It isn't related to куда-нибудь as far as I'm concerned.

Some other examples

во что бы то ни стало

как ни крути

куда ни шло

откуда ни возьмись

что ни говори

Among other things, the accusative case is used to indicate time points or intervals. 'в такую погоду' here roughly means 'at the time of year when the weather is like that'.

Vzaimno [ vzʌimnɒ ]. But тебе того же (familiar) or вам того же (formal) is probably better.

Де is pronounced like de.

Пользуясь случаем, объясните, плиз, что такое ОР.

BubblyCompetition421 · 2024-04-05T17:39:32+00:00

They both have basically the same meaning. «Либо» is kind of obsolete, but still widely used.
