:commits this to memory:

I vow to talk nothing but Russian for the rest of the day/night! Axver would like to fill his vocabulary with Russian, i'm sure.

 

[Irishteen]

Learning Russian sounds harder than Irish

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Pravdo*.




*True

Well, they both share a common origin in that they were invented by drunk people. It's just that Russian was invented just after the first vintage of vodka was consumed, while Gaelic was invented a few minutes after Guinness was.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ya magu uchit tebe Russki, nu schas ya tebe uchu Gaelic!

 

[Axver]

Pravdo*.




*True

Well suddenly the name of the newspaper Pravda makes more sense.

 

[Cin]

Gaelic has amazing rules like thou must add in a random letter before the capital letter of words for some reason that I can't remember

Thou must not say yes or no because those words don't exist

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well suddenly the name of the newspaper Pravda makes more sense.

Nu da*.



*Well yes.

Glad you're learning! There's an Australian based Russian newspaper called 'Gorizont', which means 'Horizon'. And NLOTH in Russian would be; Ni kakoi lina na gorizont.

I'm good looking in disbelief at how I'm supposed to write a 3000 word answer to an accounting question with a paragraph of information

Lots and lots of bullshit, my friend. Welcome to university!

Also, second most frequent poster in the previous thread, again!

Er, congrats?

Lincraft.

Hey Cin! How goes it?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Thou must not say yes or no because those words don't exist

And I thought Irish people were cool.

 

[Cin]

Ali!!

It goes pretty well. Tired as hell and still haven't had dinner but still... I got's me a nice boy and I'm feeling good.

How's bout yourself?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Er, congrats?

No matter how you try, you can't beat the Axver.

 

[Cin]

No matter how you try, you can't beat the Axver.

Oh yeah you can. He likes to be beaten.

 

[Axver]

Classic.

How, then, does one respond in the affirmative or negative?

 

[Irishteen]

And I thought Irish people were cool.

We are cool, we are not cool

We can't just say yes or no

 

[Cin]

Irish accents

 

[Axver]

Nu da*.



*Well yes.

I might've said before - I tried to teach myself Russian when I was about 16, learnt Cyrillic and some basic phrases but it didn't stick in my head due to the lack of anybody to practice with.

I've assumed 'nizhniy' (not sure on the spelling) means 'new', due to placenames like Nizhniy Novgorod.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Oh yeah you can. He likes to be beaten.

I'll take him on in KEYBOARD WARS!

We are cool, we are not cool

We can't just say yes or no

Interesno*

*Interesting

 

[Cin]

I sent you a friend request Vlad

 

[Axver]

Haha, respect to Vlad's avatar.

I keep contemplating my own "LOVETOWN: No shows in America" sig ...

Thanks to my learning of English i'm not too competent at reading Russian. I can help you if you like though, I know the basics.

And 'nizhny' would mean 'lower', new in Russian is 'novi or noviya'. So Nizhniy Novgorod would mean Lower Novgorod, maybe even "Lower Newtown"!

eh guys , wazzup

That explains this series of fantasy books I read once which was all based on Celticy stuff, and the words "yes" and "no" appeared NOWHERE in the text. It took me a couple of books to notice this and it freaked me out.

Sanks sanks sanks, accepted.

I thought you said you wanted to make a shirt saying that? Possibly with a picture of you and some sheep.

Well, one out of three ain't bad...! (am tired, have had dinner, no boy)

 

[Alisaura]

Harasho!*
