- Doctor, can I drink wine and smoke cigarettes ? Доктор, можно ли мне пить вино и курить сигареты ? - when asking permission we often use this small "ли" particle, it is more polite, I suppose. Though I don't know if there's a rule about it's usage. 2. In this room it’s hot, I cannot breathe В этой комнате жарко и нечем дышать - for some reason the form "дышится" used rarely in speech. I can remember it being used only in "легко дышится". I suppose it's just cultural weirdness :) 3. In my school there was no gym В моей школе нет спортзала. - не существует is does not exist. There is no is more like нет. 4. Some people believe that there is not any virus Некоторые люди считают что не существует никакого вируса - for some reason we don't use "верится" in positive cases. It is used in "Не верится", which is rather negative. And there is a difference between "некоего" and "никакого". First is a reference to a certain virus, that is known to all in the dialog, but nobody wants to pronounce the name aloud. Second is literally "any" 5. Why do I want to cry without any reason? Почему мне хочется плакать без причины? - because our grammar is a hellhole :D 6. We managed to sleep well not only because we were tired. The beds were comfortable. Нам хорошо спится не только от усталости. В кроватях удобно0 votedJune 20, 20201
- 1- Вырывться на волю means to break out of imprisonment or some such. Could be used in less strict sense, like if you finally go home after the particularly long and hard day at work, you can say that you вырвался на волю с работы. 2-сбиваться в сторону - has several meanings. First is to stray off the straight path or direction. Second - for example, about the element of clothes - to be askew, not in the right position. 3- действовать на кого чрезвычайно - to have a particularly strong inlfuence on someone. Literally. More in-depth analysis could be done if there's some context. 4-Но толковать об этом не для чего. - But there's no point talking about it.0 votedJune 2, 20200
- Грустные новостиСегодня третий день моей текущей задачи.* Я пытаюсь читать по цел<s>ую</s>ой статье** на русском каждый день, потому что когда я говорю или пишу на русском у меня ощущение, что я не понимаю контекст, в котором определённые слова используют. Так как у меня всё ещё получилось читать даже детскую книгу на русском, данная задача кажется полезной.*** Я только что прочитал статью о смерти знаменитой японской рестлерши Ханы Кимуры. Кимура представляла(continuously, probably?) организацию Stardom Wrestling и была звездой реалити шоу на Netflix, в котором(шоу - neuter) три женщины и трое мужчин**** живут в одном и том же доме и пытаются уживаться. Хотя причина смерти пока не называлась(названа would be better), кажется, что Кимура испытывала тяжёлые проблемы за последние месяцы. Незадолго перед смертью она опубликовала некоторые фото, на которых она наносила себе увечья, и видимо, в котором (в фото?) она пожаловалась на отношение фанатов и критиков к ней. Незадолго до этого (It's a guess, I don't know what you meant. I'll give a link for a dictionary down below) она стала объектом кибербуллинга и грубых высказываний со стороны фанатов и критиков. Хотел бы я, чтобы эта смерть что-нибудь изменила, но она является одной из многих похожих смертей. Потому-то люди не заботятся об эмоциях знаменитых людей, особенно когда они выкладывают высказывания в соцсетях. Тем не менее, японский журналист опубликовал статью, в котором он пытался напомнить всем о серьёзных последствиях кибербуллинга на любого человека.(5)*Сегодня третий день как я делаю одну и ту же задачу. - in russian, the third day could be of a week, of some kind of period. But you cannot say that it's nth day of a task.**читать по статье в день, делать по упражнению в день, ходить по пять километров в день - it's kind of a fixed expression***either it's все еще не получилось, or it's Так как мне удалось прочитать детскую книгу... Все еще means yet in negative. Like in "I didn't do it yet"**** for some reason it's that form, not the other. Just more naturalhttps://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ushakov/881342 - недолгоhttps://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enc2p/280550 - незадолго5 - Тем не менее is said when there were some obstacles to what is(was) done. Here it would be something that would've stop the journalist from publishing the article. Here it would be rather like "Именно об этом пытался напомнить всем японский журналист, опубликовавший эту статью" (Here I shortened a little, but you get the point)You write really good Russian! If you want to ask something about the context, as you mentioned in the beginning of your writing, I'm here to answer :)0 votedMay 24, 20200
- My polite <s>ask</s> request for help - could you help me to correct, please?;)ask is a verb, so you can’t say "my ask”. And one can assist with something, not to. But it’s okay to say help to do something.Hello, great people;)I want to speak <s>with</s> to ( here you address the audience of the site, and in essence you make a speech, not talk with someone alone. This is why here it’s to.)you about multitasking and learning a language. How do you manage to overcome the desire to <s>get</s> learn (one cannot get a language, only learn or speak or some such.)all languages immediately (means the same, but more natural and short)?It’s my biggest fear - to catch up with anything and get nothing. So I try my best to achieve some kind of result (some kind or a particular result? It should be one) step by step (word order is important).Now I’m writing this note ( which can sound a little messy ) in order to realize (better be understand) the natural flow of English language.Also, can’t help thinking about creating memes <s>on</s> in my second language - that means you’ve got an excellent creativity. (Sounds a bit off - I’d say something like it helps you to learn the language creatively)Thank you for reading this stream of consciousness and have a great day/ evening;)Hi! You’re doing a great job here! Yeah, it could be frustrating sometimes, when the progress seems slow to the point of complete stop. Then I usually go and watch something in my target language on YouTube, it helps me to calm down a little and start working in my normal pace again.0 votedMay 23, 20200
- which side are you on?Which side are you on? I got this question several times from Japanese and Korean people. I studied abroad <s>to</s> in Korea and can speak Korean language and love the Korean things <s style="background-color: rgb(255, 235, 204);">such</s> like music, cuisine, TV shows.*<s> And**</s> I know there are politicial and historical issues between the two countries to face <s>on***</s> and think about very seriously.One day I uploaded some photos to my Twitter account adding #traveltoKorea. 95% comments(4) <s>are</s> were(5) very positive, like 'oh, I want to visit there' or 'have you eaten ... in Korea?', but some comments <s>told me</s> were like "Why did you visit anti-Japanese country!?"(6) I responded <s>like</s> that I knew that there were serious issues and I do not like all kind of things(7) about Korea, sometimes I feel frustrated about Korean government, but that is not an excuse to hate and discriminate a community.(8) After I sent this comment<s>s</s> to him, he said "which side are you on? You are a traitor to Japan!!"On the other day, some Korean guy bombed me with hateful comments because I critisized Korean food. I love to eat Korean food, but what I ate was too spicy for me.(9) And he <s>told</s> asked me the same question - which side are you on? Do not pretend to be pro-Korean, Japanese.(10)I know that answering to this question 'which side are you on?' is waste of time because the intention why they ask me is not discuss with me but hate me.(11)*It would be better to divide such lengthy sentences, as they get hard to read with the length. You can speak this way, but in writing it is not a good thing.**Sentences shouldn't be started with -and-. It's bad writing.*** issues to face - fixed expression, no additional parts needed4 - It is also considered bad writing to start a sentence with a number.5 - later you write about the comments in the past tense, it'll be more logical to keep it consistent.6 - told me like - it's okay in speech. But very much not okay in writing. Not in academical or official writing, anyway :)7 - here you said that you rather dislike Korea. It'll be a lot of things.8 - a lengthy one. Better to shorten, really. As to excuses, you say that you dislike many things and that is not an excuse. That here is related to the fact of dislike, not to a list of things.9 - I divided it in two. In general, when one line of thought is ended, the sentence should be ended as well. In the first pat you write about the guy commentator, in the second - that you like the food, but it's too spicy. It's two lines of thought, about two different people who do different things.10 - corrected as understood, though I could be mistaken in what you wanted to say. Read about the reported speech, as I see you have difficulties with the theme.11 - because they ask these questions not to discuss them. Keep it simple, it'll sound more natural :)Hi! I hope I explained everything clearly enough :) You're doing great, keep it up :)0 votedMay 23, 20202
- Hello! I learned my second language from the scratch to the end living in my country, surrounded by information in my native language. It slows the process, but doesn't stop it, as one can use youtube and other internets to get access to examples of speech. My L3 I learn in the other country. It helps a little to get used to the sound of speech, which helps with listening and, of course, you learn to read quite fast. But does it really help with speaking? I'm not so sure. I'm one of those who have a huge block on speaking when unsure what I should say. Seemingly, only speaking lessons really help me to overcome this. Moreover, I noticed one fun thing - after some 5 month in the foreign country it starts to press on you that you cannot fully understand everything that is said around you. In my case this is not quite a problem, as I learn too fast, but for other people to be in the informational bubble could be really depressing and could slow the progress.0 votedMay 23, 20200
