Quote :: Yes, dear! We do have this with EVERY name we adore using diminutives

yes, I see you love that!!! Very Happy

but it's very cute!!. We in Holland would Alexandra just call Alexia or Ali.... and with *all the Maxim's* it can be very useful too lol!

Quote :: You know, we don't pronounce all the sounds like they are written.. it's very difficult for people who learn russian, but.. it's true..

yes!!! different for each word... and i can't remember....

Lerochkla, could I ask you something? How do you have to pronounce zdravstwoejtje? i would break my tongue with saying it :wink:

and my book says, you can say very fast "does you ass fit you" and then it'll sound like zdravstwoejtje....but imagine you great a Russian who speaks English..... :blush2:

ohhh Sunnia for Alex!!! cute!

kusjes!!!

Well..I'm not Lerochka Smile

...but I'll try to answer.
I know how you have to prounounce that. With a little bit of practice it is not very hard. In"zdravstvitie" there are 4 consonants and a russian teacher told us that not even russians (who are very fond of many consonants :kataus:

) can't pronounce 4 in a row. So, they don't pronounce all of them clearly. I'm not sure how to explain...

I don't really know how to translate it fonetically, but it's smth like "zdrav-stvytye" . Try to say "zdrav" and then "stvy" and then "tye".

I'm sorry :blush2:

I can't explain this better... :blush2:

Good luck!!
Kisses Rachel :<33:

Have a nice day...mine will be very complicated...uhh pale

Thank you dear Alex :<33: that's lovely of you!!!

I'll say to myself in this nice day * remember: zdrav....stvy....tye....*

you did explained very well!!! thanks zvet

What'll you have to do, when it's such complicated? I hope you'll be fine, though. good luck with the day!!

kusjes!

Poor Rachel..

Well, it's not as hard as it seems to be, darling! :wink:

So.. zdravstwoejtje.. but.. russians are too lazy to pronounce this like it is written (and besides, russian NEVER pronounce the word like it is written :luvzy:

) You shouldn't pronounce "v" at all. So now we have only zdras-twoej-tje But we pronounce like that only when the person is respected. If it's not we pronounce the word like "Zdrastje" Erm..

and it's already quite easy, eh? At least, you won't break your tongue! bla-bla-bla

kusjes!

Je ne suis pas demi-russe pour rien !!! :kataus:

Thank you to help us, I was not sure about what I said. Suspect

Alex, how many diminutives for you !!! But my favorite is Alex, it's French diminutive too, and Sasha, because it's typically Russian... heart2

alexandra wrote:: Yeeeeeess!!! Dostoievski killed me with his books!!!! Even though russian literature is great...I find him very complicated. It's hard to follow the character because he has so many names.. (and I have a problem with names..that's the first thing I forget after reading a book... )

Hihi, I had the same problem while I was reading Doctor Zhivago. The main character have so many diminutives, and the others - too. I had to read very carefully :twist:

sometimes I wondered "Well, yesterday I left Lara with Pavel, who is this Pasha with her now :twist:

" In Bulgarian we have many diminutives too, but they are very differents from Russians ones. If I have to make a list of all diminutives of my name... :wink:

Sorry for the off-topic Off topic as usual!)

Hi

I've been Lesha's fan for ages. So, there are some news.
Now he tales part in Russian stars on ice - a TV show. He skates with an awful Evil or Very Mad

partner and, actually, he's much better when he skates alone. But it's such a pleasure to see Lesha again.

He's dating Gorshkov's (A&M's ex-coach) daughter Anastasia and they are said to be in love.

(nice to see someone loving Lesha flower

)
