NO

Njet! Russia and the USA are not allies, NATO and the Sovijet Union just agreed to stop fighting. NATO is currently threatening to attack Russia if Russia continues it's attacks on Georgia(the country east of Turkey, not the State).

How to say "do not know" in Russian depends on who it is who does not know.

(I) do not know - (ya) nee znayu

You do not know - ti nee znayesh

The Russian (cyrillic) alphabet has 32 characters, but like English, there are more sounds than letters.

Go to your installation directory and go to folder called "LANGUAGE" and delete all languages "EXCEPT" the one you wana use "INT = ENGLISH" rest as you desire.

Клиффорд. Pretty much a direct translation of the name.

Хорошо для Вашего здоровья. (Horosho dlya vashego zdorovya).

Modern English transliteration of Russian doesn't use the letter "J". Neither does Russia's cyrillic alphabet.

A Russian name starting with a "Y" in English transliteration would tend to begin with a "J" in German, e.g. Jaroslawel (Yaroslavl).

Jim is not a common name in Russia, so there is no official translation for it. However, it is possible to spell "Jim" phonetically. The closest Russian translation would be "Джим" (pronounced dzhim), since there is no equivalent for the letter "J" in the Russian alphabet.

China, being the most dynamic country in the world, has great potential to be explored, so I think you'd better learn Chinese. RUSSIAN. Russia's bigger then China and with the right leaders, can be powerful very much like the U.S. Russia has some of the best universities in the world. Plus, Russian's easier to learn than Chinese. So, learn Russian. Overall, I would imagine it would depend more upon where you live, travel, and do business then which country is bigger or more powerful. Neither one of them would do you any good if you were in Nicaragua looking for a bathroom, so to say. The best thing to do would be to check out your own area and see which one is used more. For instance, if you were an ambulance driver in Atlanta, Georgia, Chinese would be very valuable since there is a large Chinese community there. If you were doing the same thing in Alaska, Russian would probably do you more good.

Well first of all,im Russian and i came to US because i love this country, my favourite

Rock bands from Seattle..Alice in Chains,Pearl Jam,Nirvana,Soundgarden,Mother love Bone and other grunge bands..Alot of Russians and Ukrainians immigrated to america for better life a think,but most of them babtists so the church helped them to came here,because in Russia people dont like that religion cuz we are Orthodox so probably thats why.But I hate this people i mean those russians-ukrainians who live in US so mad and weird.They dont like tattoos,piercings,dont like american music,they are just listening to their own gay songs,but like i sayed im russian too.If you go to Russia you will find metalheads,emos,punks,goth i mean everybody because Russia now is like US.So yeah like i sayed i came here because i love this country more then Russia.Another thing is why they came here its just because they think its better in here too,in america you have freedom of religion but in Russia but people will laugh at you cuz you are babtist and.......you know.So yeah ill say that we came here for better life and lots of reasons its just depends on who.Thanks for asking.

You are mistaken, Russians adore the Italian people, and Italians are fond of Russians.

Tsarina is the name of a Russian rulers wife.

Since Russell originally is French for "Redhead" - рыжый - there is no equivalent in Russian or the other Slav languages, which have a very different tradition for personal names. Yet, it could be a surname, like Czech Červený, also common in Slovak - and from there in Hungarian: Cserveny. Ukrainians also have their Червоненко. Russian Краснов Originally in Russian красный meant pretty, not red. Hence the Red Square and прекрасный - not - G-d forbid! - прекрасивый... So keep calling them Рассель - мягкий знак and everything... After all, Russell the Brit was a fellow traveller - a friend of the Bolsheviks and an enemy of the West. And Russell Crowe does not care.

You could say it a couple of different ways. The placement of the verb's object is not particularly important. The infinitive verb "To love" in Russian, is любить. Pronounced "Liu BEET". To say "I love you", you need to conjugate to the first person. You could say, "Я люблю тебя" or "Я тебя люблю" (pronounced Ya liu-bliu tebYA, or Ya tebYA liu-bliu". Other variations might include the word очень (pronounced Ochen meaning, very much), or the word тоже (pronouced TOE-zhe, meaning also, or "too"). For instance, "Я очень люблю тебя" (I love you very much), and "Я тоже люблю тебя" (I also love you very much). Russian is a complex language -- not only do the verbs conjugate, but also the pronouns and the NOUNS depending on which of the 6 Russian "cases" applies to the sentence. This particular sentence conjugates the nominative case pronoun "Ты" to "Тебя" in the accusative case, because it is the direct object of the verb "люблю".


Я люблю тебя - Yah loobloo tyebyah

It's a Slavic thing. For whatever reason somewhere in the development of the Slavic ethnic group, misery was one of the key personality traits adopted. Like Italians and their love of talking with their hands, Frenchman and their love of romance, the British and their love of unnecessarily large words. Misery is as Slavic as pointy noses, furry hats, and gross soup.

Джо

Дж are really a D sound and a ZH sound combined, which makes the closest sound in Russian to our American J sound. The O is pronounced more or less the same in both languages (at least in this example).
