It is possible, it is necessary - one must? Whilst watching the snooker I have been working on this today... Можно говорить по-русски Надо говорить по-русски Do you need a capital letter for По-русспи or по-Русски? My understanding here is that the 'по' refers to 'in' Russian. Is that correct? As such, I wonder about the capital letter... Perhaps you can tell me?

Rachel, you wrote right по-русски. You don't need capital letters. In Russian we write the name of the country from the capital letter, but the derived adjectives are written from small letters.
