I have a question about questions. Well, about asking questions. Its not the grammar, its the inflection/intonation/stress/accent that i can't get. Where, in the following phrase, would the stress fall on the word in order to change the statement from a statement to a question? "Voy ponyeymayetya baRrrusskye" Where on the 2nd word would the stress fall? Thanks for any help! And in case nobody has any idea what i'm talking about, just ignore this Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
actually i think it is Vi ponjemaitji po Russki? [ i like in sit ] but if use your way "Voy poneymayetya baRrrusskye?" the phrase is do you understand Russian? right
Yes sorry about the spelling..but thanks Avatar, i think i have a better idea now about where to put the stress on the word in order to make it a question. Thanks! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! And yeah, that's what the phrase means
no prob- need any other help, ask but nothing to do with writing- I've forgotten that can read smthing for you thoughPlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ciao
One question. Earlier when you replied to my post underneath the phrase you put [i like in sit] what did you mean? I didnt get that at all Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
that the letter i is pronounced like in the word "sit" in the first word "Vi " ("vi " like in "vitality" or smthing very simmilar) it has no "O" sound in it
Well i'm sorry i don't agree. It might not be like "voy" but its definitely not like "sit". I don't know on the CD's i'm using it sounds sort of like "Vwi" or "Vui" if you know what i mean? That's for the Bbl word..the "bl" letter is such an odd sound. Edit: "Bbl" = "You formal" i believe..
yeah- Vwi is more correct- but not Voy (it has like a hidden b sound- not possible to write with latin letters) yes- Bbl is formal unformal would sound like Tbl
Thanks, awesome! I thought it was more like Vwi than voy...Thanks again Avatar Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I was just writing it phonetically, or are you too? Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! :bugeye:
yeah I was. Though, I must admit, I had only several hours of trainingin Russian, and that was 10 years ago. how time flies
Merlin - dosvidanjia is a single word. "Voy ponyeymayetya baRrrusskye" I go with Avatar - you bring your voice up on the "ye" before "tya". I don't have a Cryllic ability on my keyboard though so can't write this properly.
