No need to diss.
Yes it is relevant because I learned these words after only a few days in Russia and that
was before I had read about this particular rule, so I just pronounced them as I read
them. Now I know that it's not pronounced this way, so this is an interesting post.

If you post on this thread, can you stick to helping me out and keep your wars for some other place?

Yes, how they are spelled and how I read them. Should be the same right? I mean no
special quirks, just pronounce/read it as each letter is spelled.

You can't pronounce russian as it is spelt - russian is not a transparent language. There are variations, tonic accents, stresses that come into play to change the way words are pronounced.
- хорошо is pronounced хə-ра-шо
- язык is pronounced (roughly) "yeh"-зык
- этаж is pronounced ыташ
etc.
And the point of my starting this thread is that "русского" is pronounced "русскава" and I was wondering how to pronounce the same group of letters (-ого) in other words, such as "немрого" or "мрого." Should it be "mnava", "mnova", "mnogə", or something else.
If you don't know how it's pronounced, then I suggest you keep watching this thread and wait for an answer, just like me.

Yes I understand your original question. Of course it's not pronounced as it is spelled,
but I was referring to the way Russian is spelled, so that's how I read it.
