Ok! As I promised I’ve created the Russian thread!
You can see ‘English Version = Russian version using Cyrillic = English pronunciation ’

Figure Skating = Ôèãóðíîå êàòàíèå = Figurnoye kataniye

Jumps = Ïðûæêè = Pryzhki
Double = Äâîéíîé = Dvoinoi
Triple = Òðîéíîé = Troinoi
Quadruple = ×åòâåðíîé = Chyetvyernoi
The words, which are connected with jumps, are usually pronounced like in English
Lutz = Ëóòö = Lutts
Flip = Ôëèï = Flip
Toe Loop = Òóëóï = Tulup
Salchow = Ñàëüõîâ = Salkhov
Axel = Àêñåëü= Aksyel
For example Double Flip = Äâîéíîé Ôëèï = Dvoinoi Flip

Spins = Âðàùåíèÿ = Vrashchyeniya
Sit Spin = Âîë÷îê = Volchok
Evgeny’s Bagel = Áóáëèê= Bublik
Biellmann Spins = Áèëüìàí = Bilman (The same element exists in gymnastics. It was one of my favorite elements, which I had in every program. But in gymnastics we called it really funny. We called it ‘Privyet’. We usually use this word to say ‘Hello’ to our friends)

Olga (who hopes it’s possible to understand )

Gislaine, can you see Cyrillic on the screen?

There are many version of this phrase .
You can say:
How are you? = Êàê òû? = Kak ty?
You can say it to your friends.
Or people usually say:
Êàê ó òåáÿ äåëà? = Kak u tyebya dyela?
It's more polite to say so!
=> In English it would be ‘how are your affairs?'

Or for adults it's better to say:
Êàê ó Âàñ äåëà? = Kak u vas dyela?

In English there's not any difference between you and you. But in Russian we say 'Âû'='Vy' for adults or for people whom you've not known during the long time.
But For friends we say 'òû'='ty'.

'Spassiba' Olga!

For those of you who can see the Cyrillic alphabet but do not understand the letters, here is an explanation of one letter (maybe we will do one a day). The letter that looks like O with a line through the center of it -- that is the same as the letter 'F' (fffffffff, or ppphhhhhhhh).

So if you visit a Russian web site, you will be able to identify the word for "photo" .

That is true about "you". French also has a "you" for formal encounters (strangers, your elders, your parents, etc.), which is "vous" (vou). "Vous" is also the plural of 'you', so even if you are talking to both of your best friends, you use 'vous'. The informal 'you' is 'tu'. Of course, it is impossible to always know when to use which 'you'. I could create a thread about that topic alone (BTW, I will add this to the French lesson thread).

I believe the English language had two versions of 'you' a long time ago, maybe 500 years ago. During Medieval times in Europe, the word "thou" was often used. Now we just think of William Shakespeare when we hear that word.

Aww now I see Russian is somehow similar to Polish (spoken, of course), though the alphabet is really different.

No more questions
Katya had her Birthday yesterday.
So I can explain how to congratulate someone on his Birthday.
We say ‘Ñ äíåì ðîæäåíèÿ’ = ‘S dnyom rozhdyeniya’

Re: Russian words
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will add another skating word

Ice rink = êàòîê

I think having a pronunciation guide will be more helpful than listing one new letter each day. So, here is the alphabet with it's english pronunciation.

À = ah
Á = b
 = v
à = g
Ä = d
Å = ye
¨ = yo
Æ = zh
Ç = z
È = ee
É = i
Ê = k
Ë = l
Ì = m
Í = n
Î = oh
Ï = p
Ð = r
Ñ = s
Ò = t
Ó = oo
Ô = f
Õ = kh
Ö = ts
× = ch
Ø = sh
Ù = shch
Û = i
Ý = e
Þ = yoo
ß = ya
There is also the b which is the soft sign. It means the preceding consonant is softened. And the Ú is the hard sign. Generally you will use this as a break between syllables.

My name spelled in Russian would be Katß

Re: Russian words

As we would say it here in the US, your name would be spelled Íèíà. I'm not sure how the pronunciation differs in Germany though.

Once you are familiar with it, the alphabet is not all that difficult. At first, seeing the cryllic letters and discovering that some letters that look like the english ones are actually other letters is daunting ... but once you get used to it, it's not that hard at all.

I’d like to add some other words about figure skating:

Gold medal = çîëîòàÿ ìåäàëü = Zolotaya myedal
Silver medal = ñåðåáðÿíàÿ ìåäàëü = Syeryebryanaya myedal
Bronze medal = áðîíçîâàÿ ìåäàëü = Bronzovaya myedal

Coach = òðåíåð = tryenyer
Figure skater = ôèãóðèñò = figurist
For girls/women
Figure skater = ôèãóðèñòêà = figuristka

Thank you very much for teaching us, ladies!

Karen, that's a good question!

And how would my name be spelled? Hm, the German "ai" is pronounced like the English "i". But what about the German "e" Katya used "È = ee" for Nina's name, that means it is the German "i". So I think I should use "Ý = e". Then my name would be MÉÊÝ

Olga...Thank you so much for your input in this Russian language thread. Would it also be possible to show the accent marks indicating the stressed part of the words? That would help me, at least, LOL.

Thank you Katya ! Shall I try to use this alphabet?
Or it’s normal to understand how I do it now?
I read Brian prefers his first name to be pronounced in English. So…
Brian Joubert = Áðàéàí Æóáåð = Braian Zhubyer
Or another variant
Áðèàí Æóáåð = Brian Zhubyer (You can see it in Russian newspapers. But sometimes they write the first variant and in the next sentence they use the other)

Mary, I don’t know how to show the stress. But I can try to use a rule which is used in one of my English Grammar books.
For example friend = äðÓã = drUg

Correct me when I’m wrong with pronunciation, please .

Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a male friend is droog, a female drooga
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The first part is correct. But for a female we say:
“ïîäðóãà”=”podrooga”
The stressed part of this word is "oo" again.

Re: Russian words

It wasn't wrong Olga, it is what we would call a long U sound. The word spelled drug is the english word for ëåêàðñòâî and is pronounced more like äðàã and I was afraid it would be misunderstood as the short u.
It has been a while since I've had the chance to speak Russian, I messed up I'm sorry!

New skating word
Blade - ëåçâèå - lezviy

Olga tells me that sometime commentators will add the second word and say lezviy konkov, but mostly people just use lezviy.

You know what? I have forgotten most of the numbers in Russian . I only remember the number 5 = 'pyatz' because my professor would say that number if she liked something one of the students said (the equivalent of an 'A' grade, I guess).

Can someone write 1 through 10?

Thank you, Karen!

1 = îäèí =odin
2 = äâà = dva
3 = òðè = tri
4 = ÷åòûðå = chyetyrye
5 = ïÿòü = pyat
6 = øåñòü = shest
7 = ñåìü = syem
8 = âîñåìü = vosyem
9 = äåâÿòü = dyevyat
10 = äåñÿòü = dyesyat

BTW at the university when we've passed an exam our teachers write a word after your mark.
So:
3 = òðè = tri => óäîâëåòâîðèòåëüíî = udovlyetvorityelno
4 = ÷åòûðå = chyetyrye => õîðîøî = khorosho
5 = ïÿòü = pyat => îòëè÷íî = otlichno

I will add, 0= íîëü - nol
when you get higher than 10 you simply add íàäöàòü -'nadstat' to the number, for example 12 would be äâåíàäöàòü 'dva-nadstat'

Re: Russian words

I would say they are both right Nina ... for me, when I say it in Russian it sounds closer to spasibo and I think that it depends on the person saying it .. how they would translit it into english letters. For instance, in the Europeon languages the letter 'i' sounds more like our (american) 'e', the 'J' like our 'Y' ... I have seen Alexei's name translit as Aleksi Jagudin, it's not wrong .. but not how an american would say it. I hope that makes sense ... I'm afraid I may have confused you more now ...

and spassiba it is just a chatting way of pronouncation, when people talk and do not care about it,It is also ok!

This word has only one meaning.... it means Thank u.

They say that English is the most difficult to learn ... and I can understand why
The hardest part of Russian for me (besides my terrible grammer ) is the pronunciations, some of the words are very difficult for my american tongue!
For those who are new to this section, what would you like to learn?

ça c'est un sujet intéressant! moi qui m'étais promis de travailler mon russe cet été, je vais faire du russe appliqué au patinage ^^

I studied Russian for a few years, but It was a bit too difficult for me i'm afraid... I can still read it and understand it if it's not too complicated... ;-) Call it "tourism Russian" ;-)

Still, I love the language... it's very poetical...

I have a question for our russian members... Please could someone translate this? "hello, how are you? it's nice to hear from you."

Thanks Nastya !

how do you say 'art on ice' and 'dreams on ice in russian?
thanks

Roughly translated:

Art on Ice - Èñêóññòâî íà ëüäó - Iskusstvo na ldu

Dreams on Ice - Ìå÷òû íà ëüäó - Mechti na ldu

or (more poetic, but depends on the context)

Ëåäîâûå ôàíòàçèè - Ledovie fantasii.

ETA:

It just occurred to me that we differentiate between dreams like 'I saw a dream last night' (ñíû in Russian), and dreams like in 'I've got a dream' (ìå÷òû), and dreams like in 'I was daydreaming all day' (ôàíòàçèè). Just in case it's important.

thank you Rina, just what i needed

I would to know how we write "Ice" and "Figure skating" in russian? Thanks for your answer
It's for a calligraphy.

J'aurais voulu savoir comment s'écrivent les mots "glace" et "Patinage artistique" en russe. Merci de vos réponses
C'est pour une calligraphie

Ice = лёд [liod]

Figure skating = фигурное катание [figurnoye katanye]
