Yep.

Cincinnati is a great city. I lived just over in Indiana growing up in the 50's and early 60's. My son and his wife live there now. Anyway ...

What's funny is the other night we went to the "Russian Restaurant" (that is staffed by Azerbaijanis and Turkmens and whomever else from that region that "kind of" speaks Russian) and the dude came over and said, "Hello, girls." in Russian.

He apologized and said he's accustomed to saying girls because my wife and her friend go there so often but he obviously didn't think about mixed company changing endings.

That's usually the tip-off between those who are fluent and those who've just studied a little. They can get most of the case endings most of the time, but eventually there'll be that one word or two that catches them. "We Germans say three. You said three."

Well, he actually used an adjective where he should have used an adverb. But yep, that's true.

I'm not even that good at English grammar, let alone Russian. However, I do know when somethin aint all the way right.

Thanks for the critique. A correction might have might have been a bit more useful.

So what would have been correct? When I took lessons in Crimes this was the phrase I was taught as a "pleased to meet you" equivalent.

My russian is quite poor and limited and I know it .. but I would rather try to use what I sort of know, and make people smile than never try at all.

No offense is taken .. we learn by making mistakes. Especially if correction is offered.

Be well all.

I never made it much past "nyet, da, mama, papa, brad, sistra, babushka, etc...".

Russian has to be one of the if not the most difficult languages to learn. Even the Greeks made extra letters for the Russian alphabet when they were giving the Rus an alphabet, religion, etc...

Not a critique at all. In fact, I'm guessing you probably said it right just spelled it wrong.

eekee is somewhat of a Russian language expert. She probably knows more than all of us put together and was merely pointing out the fact that with the misspelling it changed the word to indicate you were talking to a female instead of a male.

A little RUB humor, if you will.

I think the spoken language is really not all that difficult since it's not too distant from our own. Written, however, is something that has to be practiced for a while to really get good at.

I still read like a 3rd grader.
