Mar. 24th, 2005 01:29 pmCan someone tell me how to decline all sorts of Russian names (that resemble adjectives)? Because when I did buy Бриллиантовая Рука, I also wanted to buy something by Толстой (in their book section). So I told her "У вас есть что-то Толстоя?" Which, I'm guessing, is really wrong because she just gave me THE LOOK of death. Well, I guess it would be insulting to assume that they didn't have something of Tolstoy, but STILL. Oy. And I become so entangled with what I'm going to say because Russians are intimidating/impatient (at least the ones from that store are). So yeah, names like Толстой, Дмитрий, Достоевский, и т.д.
