Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi all, Just wondering if we have any Russian language speakers here? I'm studying Russian seriously these days, and was curious if anyone on here speaks the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I'm not sure how many Russian speakers we have. I do know that Latvia is not a great source. It has Russian speakers, of course, but they're the minority, and unlike Belarusian, Latvian isn't particularly close to Russian and isn't really at all mutually intelligible. —Alorael, who knows Zeviz spoke Russian. And probably still does, wherever he is, but he hasn't been speaking it around here for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I can count to three in Russian, although I learnt that from listening to, funnily enough, Rammstein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well-Actually War Trall Cairo Jim Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 What Nalyd said. Rammstein are German, but several of their songs are in other languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Questionably Legal Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I have a complete song in Russian memorized, but i actually understand only two words or so. And it's probably mangled Russian to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I know the section of 'February' (by Boris Pasternak) that appears in Regina Spektor's song 'Apres Moi' by heart. But otherwise, no. Tyranicus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ой это плохой тоже. That's too bad It's a really cool language. I had a Ukrainian gf and started learning Russian for whatever reason. She's long gone, but I'm happy with my new hobby. BTW: Who here can roll their r's—rrrrrrrrrrrrr. Cuze I couldn't until today—so happy now Upon Mars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 That's cool. Are your parents from that part of the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt Upon Mars. Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well no, they are westerners like yourself. Neither of them speak russian, but they've known some and worked with some more. I have great admiration for Russia, it's a harsh land and the people in it are survivors, it's a shame that it's such a wrecked land. The day it'll change... like they say: Что у кого болит, тот о том и говорит. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 It's a Russian language thread. People are going to post in other languages besides English! Dikiyoba не знает языки, кроме английского языка, но говорит ужасно (и, надеюсь, весело) переводится по-русски просто раздражать Триумф.

The day it'll change... like they say: Что у кого болит, тот о том и говорит. Очень круто! у меня нет родители что говорит по-русский, но у меня есть много Друзья в университете. I have learned a lot in previous months, but Russian has a case system that makes things kinda complicated. The language has genders too, but that's not a problem; the problem is that nouns and adjectives get very different endings depending on what kind of sentence you want to write. There are six cases in total. I'm very lucky because I go to a university that has a massive percentage of international students—the business program is almost completely international. And it's impossible to walk around campus without seeing a few Russians. And I mean that... it is impossible—small university... huge number of international students! Also, I recently switched Facebook, Safari, my OS and Russian Facebook (VK) to Russian language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
