Phil's eagerness towards learning Arabic is to be appreciated. He is also very interactive and an excellent conversationalist. I would be very delighted to lend a hand in his Arabic learning journey.

Сегодня я познакомилась с прекрасным человеком Филом. Он много раз был в России. Ему нравится русская культура и русский язык. Он очень хорошо разговаривал на русском, рассказывал о своей семье и о работе. До новых встреч, Фил 👋😉

    "should" значит ты должна, но это не слишком плохо, если нет. А "must" значит обязательно. I forgot to ask if you speak Russian...

    How to ask "What is the difference between" What is the best way to ask in Russian, "What is the difference between X and Y", where X and Y are anything.  For example, "What is the difference between жаркий and горячий?"

    How to ask "What is the difference between" in Russian A common question is "What is the difference between X and Y?". For example, "What is the difference between жаркий and горячий?". I think it might be something like как разница между or как отличается or что отличается. What is the best way to ask this in Russian?

    They both mean about the same thing, but "cumbersome" is more commonly used.

    "Bailing" is colloquial for quitting abruptly. It comes from "bailing out", as from an airplane that has been disabled.

    It is similar to the imperfective vs. perfective aspect in Russian. Here, the action is completed and only the result is important ("I passed the exam", not just "I took the exam") - совершенный. So in Russian, I would say "Я сделал это!", not "Я делал это!".

    I would use "for me" + infinitive in the first two cases: Is it alright for me to come here? Is it OK for me to come here? because they refer to getting permission to do something (in the future), but for the last case, I think it might be asking about something that has already happened, Do you mind that I came here?
