I made a Russian friend in Latin I named Boris a few years ago. Unfortunately I haven't had any classes with him since. We were good friends, don't know why I haven't talked to him lately. I shall talk to him on понедельник (Monday, yes?) Pronounciation is something I really take seriously, so this should be interesting. Are there many people that stay in Russia? Basically, I was saying on the English board that when I'm like 25 and go over to Russia, will all the kids my age now be leaving Russia?

FadingAway, Russian spelling is very simple- what you see is what you say, unlike in English. You confusion here is out of the fact that Russian alphabet is bigger then Latin (33 letters versus 27) and some letters do not have exact analog- therefore people use them differently in different situations.Hare explaind it pretty well.

Y+L=t.A.T.u. said:
а чо ты хотел-то!Учи!

which means:
Just what did you expect(?)! Learn it!

If you need any help- feel free to ask me, I'll be glad to do what I can.

There are no definate and indefinate articles in Russian right? No "the" or "a", and the particle "is" doesn't either? Wouldn't "is" be just the present indicative (least in latin) of the verb "to be". That verb has to exist doesn't it? Is there any word order rules to Russian?

[Jan]

No paricular word order rules: meaning is directed by the forms and cases of words rather then their order- you can change order and still keep the same meaning .
No articles, definate or indefinate- however you are absolutely right about the use of particle "IS" - We do not use it as particle (i.e. we do not say "he IS" or "she IS" ) but it can be used in a present indicative of the verb "to be" as in "Это ЕСТЬ"- "This IS".

You seem to know it all pretty well though, what is the question here?
