Would it be possible for you to make a vocal recording of those two lines? I'd like to hear the natural intonation they're "supposed" to have. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks. It might not seem like much, but the getting the "natural" intonation is often the hardest part of learning a new language, and every little bit helps!

A Russian's favourite word must be фиг and it is slang.This word must have a dozen or more meanings.
Here are some: 1.нифига себе!Same as ничего себе!=wow! 2.На фига? .Same as зачем?=What for? 3.Фиг получишь.You are not getting anything.Often accompanied by the special Russian gesture,something like the 'finger' in English but it is not considered that vulgar. 4.Дo фига.A great quantity of something,a lot of. 5.Иди нафиг.Get lost. 6.фиг is the noun офигеть is the verb. Oфигеть! Awesome! Ты совсем офигел?Are you out of your mind? офигительная машина =what a car! 7.фигня=something that does not make sense. что это за фигня?What the hell is this? 8.мне пофиг =мне все равно=I don't care. Some of these expressions might sound rude in English,but I think in Russian they just sound like everyday slang that all people use from time to time. If you want to sound very rude you can replace фиг in all the above examples with another very common word which I cannot say here.

To add my 2 cents to this topic:
Common conversational fillers:: ну ---> well ну и что! ---> so what! вот ---> here (it is); there you have it так /итак / значит ---> so вот так ---> like so; like this вот и всё ---> that's it то есть ---> that is (to say); so давай ---> come on может быть ---> maybe; supposedly; "I guess so" так сказать ---> so to speak как говорится ---> as the saying goes честно говоря ---> honestly скажем ---> let's say допустим ---> let's suppose в основном ---> basically в общем ---> in general в принципе ---> in principle дело в том, что ---> the point is на всякий случай ---> just in case кстати ---> by the way ...что ли? /не так ли? --->...,is it?;...,right? /...,isn't it? Some common colloquial conversational phrases: Понятия не имею! ---> I have no idea! Что ты? ---> What's wrong with you? Давай не смеши! ---> Don't be ridiculous! Как бы ни так! ---> Far from it!; Nonsense! Ещё бы!---> You bet!; Hell yeah! Споки ноки! ---> Nighty night! Ни пуха ни пера! ---> Good luck! (and the common answer is "К чёрту!" meaning "To hell") :-P Edited by zrak0plovac on 06 April 2011 at 12:54am 4 persons have voted this message useful | |||

You can call any object that you don't know what it's called, 'штука'
