RESPONSES:
| quote: | | Bah, stupid Americans |
bah, stupid europeans
| quote: | | do americans eat anything else other than doughnuts? especialyl the cops? and why do they use croaky voices when they are trying to be serious in films? |
yes we eat a lot of stuff besides doughnuts. doughnuts are just a joke people use against cops, like saying it 'smells like pig' when one is around. just a little bitter cause some cops here abuse their stature like pricks.
not sure what you mean by the 'croaky' voices. maybe youre refering to john wayne kinda voices?
| quote: | | Is it true that americans voted bush to be their leader???? or did he just Threaten to acuse you of being a terrorist like he did to the rest of the world if you dident agree |
yes, im from texas, i think bush is doing good. not everyone knows the real reasons behind everything that goes on with our government. and its not just the president running the country, there is congress, senate, and many other people behind him helping to make the choices. its really impossible to totally educate yourself in government matters cause unless your a part or it DIRECTLY (not just a voter or citizen) its very hard to see the truth behind everyones bullshit.
| quote: | | The word 'sick' is such a pathetic word. I thought the Americans were responsible for this one? |
i hope not, but sadly, it is used ehre all over often. its mainly the 12-14 year olds that love WWF (world wrestling federation) and morons of that sort. a lot of stupid words spread like wildfire here in america, words like; sweet, hella (hell of, ie 'very'), many many more but i cant think of em right now.
| quote: | | I really don't get the idea of walking indoors with shoes on? You're indoors, why use shoes? Is it really "standard procedure" in the states? |
no, its not standard procedure at all. its 'lazy mans' procedure. people are lazy so their carpet slowly gets fucked, and then their capet is fucked so why put the effort out to take off your shoes? we americans can be QUITE lazy at times. but i take pride in it.
QUESTIONS:
do europeans like driving tiny ass cars or are they forced to by the dealerships? i know small cars cost less but if you are living life by that then why not buy the cheapest of alcohol and food? or the cheapest shack of a house?
is it rude in germany to eat with your hands under the table on your lap? in america that is the polite way to eat, with no elbows on the table or anything.
is it true in places such as france that people buy 1 or 2 nice items of clothing and wear them for a week or two or a month without washing anyhting and throw it out and buy something new for the next month? my gf said this one i think... is it true?

i hope you're talking about dialects... because, AFAIK, we don't have any. there are different intonations though, like people from moscow are known to stretch vowels...
as for MOTOX, that's most likely a speech defect. lenin had it, translate.ru (which i sometimes use ) translates "êàðòàâèòü" as "to burr". i've never heard that term used before.
georgian accent is quite famous. the "Û" letter is pretty hard to pronounce on its own, it's just "e" that comes really deep from within your throat, i can't think of a similar sound in english.
and as for slang, some russians find it difficult to understand it too. as for criminal slang, forget it...

Yeah that's a tricky one. I think of it as an "ee" sound as in "squeeze", but with your tong flat against the bottom of your mouth and your mouth open wider. |
hmm... gonna give it a try with this description. Apart from the recordings I've been given (from the "Rusky yazyk dlya vsex" books I have), the best description I had for this sound was "pretend you're being punched in the stomach", which was not quite helpful

Unfortunately there aren't really any dialects in Russia as such... you could talk like a peasant and use weird/archaic words, but even then the "bI" sound remains the same. |

So, except for that Georgian Vowel you said, the speech in Vladivostok difers from the one in Piter just by the intonation? No major changes on the consonants/vowels? Zakanie and Zikanie is applied everywhere?
As for the Moskovite Vowel Stretching, I remember people from Kiev making fun of it.

In Ukrainian I believe it is even more common than in Russian. |
Reason why I gave up learning Ukrainian

as whiskers said this is probably a speech impediment... or possibly a foreign accent as you suspected. |
I see

You can go to http://www.translit.ru which automatically converts your "translit" writing to actual Russian letters. For example: you type 'zh' and see 'æ'.
