Anyone speak Russian?

[Dragon Soldier]

And be willing to translate a very short passage into phonetic Russkie for me?

It is 'Fedora Lounge' related.... promise.

I was a Russian language major in college. I can take a look.

 

[LadyStardust]

zaika got here first, but I'd also be willing to help. I was born there and still speak/read/write fluently.

 

[zaika]

better use lady stardust, then. lol

ETA: Lady...I hope you will post the translation. I'd love to see it, too.

 

[Dragon Soldier]

Thank you, it's for a toast at a 1940's/Wartime event at the weekend...

I want to say something like...

"To our friends, the brave soldiers of the Soviet Union. We are proud to join with you in the destruction of the fascist war machine in Europe"

And finish with a familiar/friendly version of "Cheers!"

 

[LadyStardust]

Dly nashi'h druzei, hrabra'i soldati Sovetskava Soyuzu. Mi gordimsa prisoidenitsa s'vami v destruktsie Fashistkoye voyeniy mashini. Za vashe zdoroviye!

I think that's accurate. I was sounding everything out as I typed just to make sure.

Oh, and zaika, I feel bad now, you should've felt free to contribute too!

 

[Dragon Soldier]

Thank You so much!

Just promise me it doesn't say "My Hovercraft is full of eels!"lol

 

[Miss Neecerie]

it doesn't.

Not that my word about it is anything...

but it does indeed say what you asked.


Now about that hovercraft of yours.........call the cleaners

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Yeh! Now pronounce this!....

Нашим друзьям, храбрые солдаты Советского Союза. Мы горды присоединиться с Вами в разрушении фашистской военной машины в Европе

[LadyStardust]

Not a problem! And I assure you I haven't pulled anything sly, but I do want to make a note that the "s'vami"(with you) could also be replace with "k'vam", which would be -to- you. And the nashi'h and hrabra'i are spelled out like that because the last letter has emphasis, and I was trying to highlight that. For example with "nashi'h", which is "our", it would be pronounced nashih, with the last h hard and prounced, as in the H in hand, not like the last h in high. And now, I've probably made that seem more complicated than it is. :eusa_doh: lol

Glad to help where I can!

Correct, very nice! Did you learn or are you native?

 

[Dragon Soldier]

Thanks that's great and very well explained.

The hovercraft thing.... Little bit of that British humour, from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

College scholar of the speak myself. Although I see I am not needed (as per usual).

 

[Dixon Cannon]

Oh, me?

I have a four year degree in Googology. The difficult I can do immediately; the impossible takes a little longer.

Ой, не беспокойтесь! В любом случае, я почти забыла же говорить по-русски. Мне практика нужна. lol Уже шесть года прошли с тех пор я жила в России...

Well, would ya look at that! lol See, had you not said, I never would've guessed that was the culprit. Really, that site is light years ahead of dictionary.com/translate and babelfish(which are basically the only sites I know of) in terms of accuracy! I'm glad for the link though, I could use it as an aide to brush up on German, which I learned to speak fairly well, and then promptly forgot. :eusa_doh:

О, я радa. Я не хотелa чтобы Вы чувствовали себя не учтенными. Я думаю что замечательно что Вы узнали язык.

Нет, нет. Честно говоря, не думала, что я переведела бы это хорошо. Я рада, что Вы сделали!
Я русский язык очень люблю.

О, не думайте так. Вы вероятно очень хороши! Настолько замечательно, что Вы любите русский язык! Не много людей чувствуют так о русском языке. [huh]
