"I am not a train"

One more example of cultural experience creating an interesting communication issue. Too funny.

I am Russian, but I haven't heard this expression. Maybe it is the same as "I am not a horse"

Welcome to the VJ Russia Forum, newbies! Not only do you have to learn Russian, but you have to learn Russian transliterated into English but still in Russian.... YEAH!!!!

Enjoy!

And just to get you going..... repeat after me..... "Ya niz na yooo pa-rooosky ya-zik." Oochin kharasho! You're on your way!

So the "not getting along with the mother in law" thing isn't just for Americans.....

I am quite aware of how the DIL thing is different in Russia. I does appear, though, that this particular DIL cannot get along with anyone.

I've often heard the "I am not a horse". I was too dense to realize that "I am not a train" is the same idea as a superlative.

Thanks for the comments.
