For example, why do they say "shto" but "spasiba"? In both cases the last letter is "o" but it's pronounced differently. Why?
And then there's "mawako" (milk). It' so confusing.

I would like to send my friend something in his own language problem is I don't speak russian, are there any sites out there which will either translate my greeting into russian or have a russian e-card which can be sent from an english site?

with each of the words first letter being capitalized ( i know theres no "the"

I'm 16 , native language is dutch (belgium) and I would love to learn russian.

Hello!
привет!

I was wondering how long approximately it would take me as an absolute beginner to learn russian. in a couple of months i will be living in russia for approximately 2 years as i am doing my studies out there. I will also be taking russian lessons at the school whilst there and studying in my free time. i'll have people living with me who are native russian speakers too. With this in mind how long do you think it will take me

I know how it's said, but not how it's spelled.

I want the Russian and Ukrainian word for "prostitute".
Also how do I pronounce it?
If such a word starts with the letter "S" it will be still better.

Thank you in advance

From, Russian,German,French,Spanish and Italian?

Also, please give me some, very simple Russian phrases or sentences or anything easy and interesting to catch/remember!

I can already speak 4 languages and i want to learn one more. I really want to learn either russian or portuguese. Portuguese is a really beautiful language and brazil and portugal are two very beautiful countries with lively cultures. I also know that portuguese would be a lot easier than russian. Russia is not as beautiful a country, but the russian culture is still fascinating as well as russian history and literature. Can you help me decide which language I should choose.

As far as I am aware, there isn't one in the alphabet.

I know that the term for gay in Russian is "sky blue" or "goluboi", but I can't seem to find how to spell it in Cyrillic.

I have also seen different English spellings: golooboy, goluboi, goluboy, etc.; which is "proper"?

Also, how would I say, "I am gay" in Russian (Cyrillic).

Thanks much!
