 |

I have been half messaging a person in Russian and recently got this:
I esli budet nuzna kakaenibud pomosh v izuchenii iazika - vsegda pozaluista
i know some of the words, but am having trouble. Can anyone help me? |

'And if any help in learning the language is necessary - always eager to help (non lit. trans.)'
Which words are you having trouble with? If it's 'nuzna', in my opinion, a more effective method of wrtiting it is 'nuzhna' ('need'), basically take all of the z's in this phrase and replace them with zh...
'Kakaenibud' should also be 'kakayanibudj ('any') - but that's just me being perdantic.
'v izuchenii iazika' literally means 'in the learning of language' (in that order too! How convenient...), it's just that izucheniya is the nominalised form of 'izuchat' ('to learn'), so maybe that's where a person that isn't a Russian-speaker may face challenges...
Well, hope that answers some of your questions, if not then...

I have found this translator immensely useful.
www.imtranslator.com
It is free to sign up to and translates English, French, German, Italian and Spanish into Russian. The result comes up in Cyrillic and there is an automatic back-translation into the original language. It will also do translations in reverse.
For example, put in 'it is a very useful site' and click 'translate'. It comes back with 'Это - очень полезный участок' with the back-translation showing 'It is a very useful site' This back-translation prevents you sending something that means not quite what you intend.
I have found this extremely useful dealing with various enquiries.
Thank you for very good Forum.

I will second this. I spent quit a while looking for a good translator. I used to use rustran.com, but then somehow found this. In my opinion, it is the best due to the back translation and the decoder. The decoder is very helpful when you get an email from someone that was using a translator to type and it doesn't quit work and you get things like this "ðàñøèôðîâàòü." It then turns it into this "расшифровать" which then translates into "decode". ImTranslator also pronounces words or phrases. It doesn't sound very good, but it is cool for free!! |
