Meine Korrektur: Es würde mich freuen, mit dir zusammen zu arbeiten. Vielleicht könnte das ein neues Projekt für mich sein. Ich bin sicher, dass ich mit ein bisschen Uebung bald wieder korrektes Deutsch schreiben kann. Bare små fejl! Fint! :) Jeg glæder mig at læse din log også!

Thanks! I need to get more immersion of the alphabet, so I can just switch to cyrillic casually. But I think its quite important to get that working knowledge going. By the way the difference in U vas and U Tebya is that vas is the polite form and Tebya is the colloquial form? Today I did not work as much on my Russian as I wanted to. I had a major blog post go out and school kept me busy for quite a while. I did listen to one or two lessons in Michel Thomas, particularly dealing with: - Forming past tense and a general discussion of the verb "to see" Let me try and form a sentence on the fly: I thought that I saw you, but it was not you. Ya dumal chto ya vui videl no nje buil vui. (comments?) I'm also super excited to report that I will be attending the Polyglot conference in Berlin in June. Although I have exams in this time I just HAD to sign up. Berlin is after all only a stone's throw away from Denmark. It's organised by the well-known polyglot Judith Meyer and she has attracted an absolutely incredible cast of polyglots and a wide array of interesting talks and workshops. As a relatively newcomer to the community I'm VERY excited to go. However.... This does mean that I must take my russian seriously, as it provides a great "deadline" for me to be fluent. What better place to practice than at a polyglot conference! Admittedly 3 months is not a whole lot to obtain fluency, but with the added incentive of meeting other polyglots - hopefully I will pull through. Edit:

Я думал что я ВАС(or ТЕБЯ) видел, но это были не ВЫ(or TЫ) Ya dumal chto ya VAS(or TEBYA) videl, no eto bili ne VI(or TI) Form of "Вы=Vi" is used for: - All strangers (In Russia, Ukraine and Belarus can not speak to strangers "Ti" It sounds aggressive and rude.People can get angry ) - Your boss - Your teachers and doctors For other people may say "Ты=Ti" Edited by IlonaS on 06 March 2014 at 8:37am 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Just wanted to add the remark that Вы is also used when you address more than one person (plural you).
Edit: And I do recommend you to learn to write and type in Cyrillic asap, transcription into Latin script can be confusing. In order to facilitate typing, you can find online keyboards like this which makes it a lot more easier than switching your physical keyboard to Cyrillic.

I've also noticed that in Siberia and other more remote parts of Russia, ты is used much more quickly as a form of address than Вы as opposed to in Moscow/St. Petersburg. So even if you start with Вы (I recommend doing that), if you're somewhere in the middle of nowhere, don't be surprised at a random ты flying your way. I've even walked into a shop in the Netherlands once and they addressed me as ты within 2 minutes (it was a Russian shop in the Netherlands).

Rough and unintelligent people say "Ты" to strangers. Handling "Ты" can become a cause of quarrel. Pensioners can talk "Ты" to people younger than them.This is normal. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

What? No, these weren't pensioners. I've had lots of people address me as ты. They were
somewhat older than me: in their 30s/40s perhaps. However like I said it's mostly in more remote areas where everyone knows everyone else. (And I always started with Вы). Edited by tarvos on 06 March 2014 at 12:52pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
