Russian Language and Culture

Я тебе не верю.

If Russian folk tales are any indication, then bears, wolves, foxes, hares and hedgehogs are the principal Russian animals (and they all talk, too).

Moose are very Russian, as are beavers, nutria, lynx, Arctic foxes, sables, weasels, minks. Basically, if they make hats out of it, it lives in Russia.

Siberian tigers are now endangered and are only found in Russia.

Some of the native Russian birds are ravens, Great Eagles and owls.

Russian brown bear is considered by most to be the national animal.

No. Both are eastern Slavic languages. While there are similarities between the languages, they are distinct.

In many parts of Ukraine Russian, or a Russian-Ukrainian creole called "surzhyk", is spoken. This stems from the fact that after the depopulation of Eastern Ukraine by the Soviet state-sponsored Famine-Genocide (Holodomor) of 1932-33, many areas were repopulated by the with ethnic Russians. Additionally, there was an official Russification program both under the czars (Ems Ukase) and under the Soviets, which at times banned the use of the Ukrainian language, and generally discouraged its use.

Russia was the main enemy of the United States during the Cold War. While the Cold War has been over for more than twenty years now, some people are still used to thinking of the Russians as being bad guys.

I'm not sure how to say "I'm tired" but if you want to say "i want to go to sleep" then say

"ya hotchu spat"

i hope that helps

'I'm tired' in Russian is 'ya ustal' if you're a boy, 'ya ustala' if you're a girl. :)

"Nadeus, skoro uvidimsya!" (an exact translation: "I hope, soon we will see each other!") "Uvidimsya!" (a shorter version: "Will see each other!")

No, they are different languages.

Latin is an Italic language from wich all the modern Romance languages (Spanish, French, Portugese, Italian and others) developed.

Latvian is a Baltic language. The only other surviving Baltic language is Lithuanian. Baltic languages aren' t part of the Slavic language group (Russian, Polish, Serbian and many more), but they do have more similarities in between them than other groups have.

Russian.

The Cyrillic alphabet is derived from the Greek alphabet, with the addition of several characters from the Hebrew alphabet.

The Russian term of pravda translates into both truth and justice in English. Pravda, became the official news agency of the USSR.

I'm half Russian and half Finnish and the name Irina is pronounced ee-REE-nuh in both languages.

With a few exceptions, no language is invented. Russian certainly was not invented. It evolved through varying usages from the language spoken by the Kievian Rus' during the 9th through 13th centuries.

Google Translate, Babble Fish. Although they are not very accurate. There are a lot of complexities in the Russian language, grammar especially. For example, in Russian, the word for she or he can mean it based on context. The word arm can mean hand in certain contexts. It's better if you ask a Russian speaker. Try Masterrussian.com.

Добро пожаловать в семью. Dahbroh pahzhalovat' v syehm'-yoo.



Take special care to pronounce the ( t' ) in ( pahzhalovat' ) with a good chunk of your tongue touching your pallet. It will be somewhat like trying to say a t and the y (as is yesterday) together. Also, take care that you don't change the v to an f to save time and trouble.
