Russian Writing
« on: April 05, 2006, 02:37:13 pm »
Braces are hard to do right.  I never got good at them until I took a course on set theory.  Now I write the crispest, pointiest braces you ever did see.  Too bad the only braces I write these days are on the computer.

I've even begun getting creative with my Russian script.

I am taking Russian, please elaborate.

Whoah!  I never realized that.  People around here always just referred to one as curly, and the others as not so.  I just figured I would deal with the mild confusion.  But that makes sense.  Good good.

[Omitted due to annoying smilies]

That's how I write my "t"s, because my professor permits us to do so (and everyone I know of in my class has taken her up on this allowance).  I really should get into the habit of writing them correctly, though.

[Again, omitted]

EDIT:  Okay, so the Cyrillic works when other people type it, but not when I quote it or type it myself.  I figured this would happen.

I took Russian for one (1) quarter in college but bailed on it after being informed that not only would I have to learn a whole new alphabet but that I'd also have to learn how to write it in cursive.

Yes, Paul, these are a select few of the flashcards I make to facilitate studying vocabulary words.  The first is pronounced "chor'-ni ko'-fyeh," and means black coffee; the second is the declension of the adjective clean (in the Nominative case) and the forms are pronounced "chi'-sti," "chi-sty'-ah," "chi-sto'-yeh," and "chi-sti'-yeh"; and the third is also a declension of an adjective, this one meaning young, and its forms are pronounced "mah-lah-doy'," "mah-lah-dy'-ah," "mah-lah-do'-yeh," and "mah-lah-dee'-yeh."

I know there are more experienced Russian speakers than I on this board; if the pronunciations I've given are deemed inaccurate, I would defer to the opinion of said people.

wow.
I love how I was sitting at school today, and I decided I should take a picture of one of the cool letters, and LO you have done it.

Writing in russian is hell of more impressive. i guess I'll bury those pictures of my writing in the backyard.

You sure as hell don't mean me.  I took three semesters of Russian in college, and it's as good as gone.  My practical, real-world usage of Russian consists of saying "We need three chairs, right?" to a Russian dude at a meeting in Germany.  I still remember bits here and there (my post above says "I have a piece of paper"), and can still read Cyrillic, but if claimed to be a Russian speaker at this point I'd be lying.

My German, now that's good shit.

Yeah, I was wondering about that, Carlos. I was like, "He has paper? Okay."

I am currently in my second semester of Russian. I like it a lot.
