I am a big fan of Agatha Christie. Big fan. When I venture into a new language or want to see how much I can
understand of a language I have not studied, I try to read Agatha Christie. I have read it in 11 languages so far: Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Dutch and Russian. She is however not the easiest in term of vocabulary, because she likes to vary. When I read my first A.C in Russian, it was driving me mad, that whenever I expected the word he said/she said after a sentence in direct speech, that was never the word I found. It would be he exclaimed, sighed, asked or agreed. It is part of what makes me like A.G so much, but as a beginner it was a royal pain in the back. Because it bugged me so much, I started focusing on them, figuring that she would logically only use a few expressions, and learning those few would make my life easier. She did't. Here is a small selection of words which were used in stead of " said". I hope it will benefit someone else. Oh, and one question. The words beginning with na were split into two words on my iPad. I overruled it, but please let me know if they should be written in two words. Any corrections are as always welcome, preferably gentle ones followed by a verbal pat on the head telling me how well I have done. :-) Вэдохнула sighed Вспомнила remembered Вставил inserted Возвести proclaimed Возразила objected Воскликнула exclaimed Добавил added Заметила remarked Заявила declared Кашлянула cleared his voice Настаивала began Насторожилась pricked up her ears Нахмурилась frowned Объяснил explained Осведомилась inquired Отозвался answered Поверить confide Покраснел blushed Пожала shrugged Пояснила clarified Предложил suggested,offered Прервал interrupted Признала admitted Пробормотала muttered Промолвил uttered Протянул extended Процитировал quoted Согласился consented Сорвщна announced Хныкала giggled 5 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I'll wait for corrections for these (if there are any) but this is so useful! I'm
considering making one for my stronger TL so I can read some novels. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Что такое "соврщна"? "Хныкнула",наверное, раз все в совершенном виде. Но пост очень
полезный, так как его можно использовать и наоборот. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's a great list! Others will surely find it helpful when reading any sort of narrative. I just have two small corrections:

I think Вэдохнула should be Вздохнула, то есть не Э, а З.

Which means in about 15 minutes! Do not be afraid to join if you are a beginner. I promise to sit there and be scared to death to say anything in Russian in front of the group with you :-) 1 person has voted this message useful |
