I read books in english and watch movies and TV-shows without translation. Of course, some words and phrases still happen to be unknown to me. However it is the long sentences that cause the main trouble, when they're spoken fast. That's why I need someone to talk to, and help me to get used to them. So, if you learn Russian language and You need someone to chat with, I'll be glad to make the acquaintance. Don't you hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Dimitriy

    That depends. 1. If you, say, discuss with a janito that cleans your office, when to take out all the garbage, you can tell 'em to do that after you're gone. Like on dayly basis. In that case you say: Лучше делать это после того как я ухожу. 2. Now, that same janitor asks you, when you'd like him to vacuum your office TODAY ONLY. During your coffee break, or after you're gone. And you tell him, it's better to do that after you're gone by saying: Лучше сделайте это после того как я уйду.

    Турпоходы is another way to call it. Тур- meaning Туристические. Туристический поход. Which, technically, doesn't have to have anything to do with tourism. You can be hiking in a nearby woods, and it's still a Турпоход.

    Okay. First of all, I'll correct your question, if you don't mind (sorry, such a stupid habit of mine:) ): Выражение "умывать руки" - можете (or Не могли бы вы)дать мне несколько примеРОВ его использования в переносном смысле? As Ted has mentioned, it goes back to the New Testament. According to it, Pontius Pilate has tried to convince the crowd that Jesus is innocent of any crime, yet they kept demanding his execution. Finally, Pilate realized that his attempts were futile. He felt guilty about letting an innocent man die, but he was also afraid to clear Jesus of all charges (unless somebody else did it for him), because he knew his enemies might use it against him. So, he symbolically 'washed his hands', refusing to take responsibility for Jesus's death, since he couldn't prevent it, as the crowd kept shouting "Crucify him! His blood will be upon us and our children!" It became an idiom ever since. Literally meaning "I GIVE IT UP, BUT IT"S ON YOU!" Я УМЫВАЮ РУКИ! ПОСТУПАЙ КАК ЗНАЕШЬ, НО С ЭТОГО МОМЕНТА ВСЯ ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТЬ НА ТЕБЕ! I GIVE IT UP! DO WHAT YOU WANT, BUT FROM THIS MOMENT IT'S ON YOU!

    Hi, vulla! First of all, it's "Где можно найти руссКИЕ книГИ бесплатно?". I'd go with lib.ru. It's tons of books in Russian, including popular fiction from the world's most popular, and not-so-popular autors. The format is html, but you can always use all sorts of programs, like calibre, to turn it into mobi or ebook format. Good luck.

    The Word EMPLOYEES in genitive I was wondering, if the word Employees is ever used with an apostrophe : EMLOYEES' Example: He didn't care much about his Employees' opinion! Is that gramatically correct or not? P.S.: Yes, I know there are ways around it, but I'm just curious if it's gramatically correct.

    Принимать как должное. либо Принимать как нечто само собой разумеющееся. Пример в предложении: Я обхаживаю тебя целыми днями, готовлю, стираю, убираюсь в доме. А ты воспринимаешь это как нечто само собой разумеющееся.

    Русский is a word describing anything that has been born (human, animal, etc) or produced (automobile) in russia. There's no such word as Россий. There's Россия, and if you suggest that something happened IN Russia, it goes like this: Это произошло в РосСИи (stressed part is capitalized).
