Hi there! I am a language enthusiast and though I only speak 3 languages fluently, I'm aiming to finally get to achieve fluency in one or several languages as an adult. My current focus in on Russian. I am in an early stage of learning Russian and will be able to say much more than I will understand, especially given that I will be using an online dictionary to make the conversation more interesting. I am focusing on communicating ideas and achieving a good flow. Please focus only on critical feedback: at this stage, I need to be able to speak confidently and quickly so the only mistakes I am interested in are those that interfere with the quality of communication.

    "ນາງ" as a general form of address Hello all! "ນາງ" is used as a specific form of address: - "ນາງ+surname" = Mrs... - "ນາງ+first name" = Miss... What's the difference in the case of "ນາງ+surname" with "ແດງ+surname"? "ແດງ" originally means "mother", so should we use it whenever we want to defer to a woman? And to whom can we simply address as "ນາງ"? My dictionary indicates that it can be used for maids. What about waitresses? And saleswomen on the market? And a woman behind a counter? And a random non-elderly woman I want to ask directions to? Thanks

    Bonjour, le sens courant se situe entre les deux définitions : avoir des relations informelles et au moins vaguement obscures. À mon sens le mot n'est pas forcément péjoratif en soi mais laisse planer une aura de mystère effectivement souvent peu recommendable. ++

    Lao - use of "ປອດ" as an adjective Hello all! I have just learned "ປອດ" as a noun (for "lungs"). The same word is used as a preposition signifying "without" but has also quite a number of meanings as an adjective. Out of the following, which meanings immediately pop to your mind: « free, not having (something); pure, without contamination/impurity/admixture; chaste, immaculate; soft, delicate/tender; flabby, flaccid; fragile/frail, weak » Thanks
