There are some American shows like Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons
too, but they do a terrible job of dubbing them. It's literally a translator just talking
over the English voices!


Yeah! I've seen some movies dubbed in Russian and they were just like that! I wonder why
they don't just use subtitles...

My friends have told me the voice-over is usually quite detailed, since it does not have to conform to the rules of translation for subtitles.

Right now I am reviewing Russian case declensions. I just want to write some things
down here for myself before I forget them again! So the feminine words that end in soft
sign change their ending to и in the prepositional and genitive singular cases, but the
ending does not change in the accusative case. Ok, that's pretty simple, but now I'm
going to review genitive plural and dative and get confused! Oh well, I'll get used to
it eventually. :)


Update: I have reviewed the rest of the cases.
Just to illustrate this all for myself, I will take a feminine word with soft sign
(кровать) and decline it in every case (at least every one in my book). Ok, here goes:

Nominative: кровать; кровати
Prepositional: кровати; кроватях
Accusative: кровать; кровати
Genitive: кровати; кроватей
Dative: кровати; кроватям
Instrumental: кроватью; кроватями

Wow...ok, well now I know how to decline feminine words with a soft sign. Now to
practice all the other types of words!

So I went over all the cases again. I need a lotttt of practice. I will write some
sentences tomorrow to practice. I also watched a video in Russian and learned a good
phrase: в целом ("in general"). :)

that's pretty subtle but i'd say в целом is 'on the whole' :)

.. and there's also в общем, which many people mix up with вообще. (native speakers, I mean! a common "hybrid" is вообщем. ewww!) All three are quite interchangeable.
