hey guys! Im in a very beginner class so Im sorry for the really simple questions...
anyways I have translated these on paper but it's very tedious for me to type the russian into the computer.
I was wondering if you could please translate these sentances:

1. They live in a village.
2. The village is in the forest.
3. There lives one girl and two guys.
4. She makes milk.
5. A guy is called “шольты” (Im pretty sure I spelt that wrong… something that means ‘get lost’)
6. I don’t know what their names are.
7. She loves “шольты”
8. They eat fish.
9. She has a husband.
10. The Russian wares a dress.

thank you so much.

I as a moderator should warn you that you should not expect community members to do your homework for you completely. It's cheating. You can post your own version and we will correct it.

P.S. in #10 it probably should be "wears"; in #5, шольты is definitely not a name. I cannot even start guessing what it could be.

She's thinking about the Movie Kukushka. It takes place during WW2. A Russian and a Finnish soldier find themselves stranded in an indigenous woman's hut for reasons I can't recall. Three people in one dwelling with no common language whatsoever.

Towards the beginning of the film, the Russian sees the Fin's SS uniform and writes him off as a fascist (which is not, as it happens, entirely the case). So when the Fin tries to ask for the Russian's name, the Russian turns to him and says Пошел ты. The Fin, not understanding this, of course, calls the Russian Psholti throughout the movie. Best part of the film.

Oh, I see. I haven't seen the movie (I even have it somewhere) and I probably should.

Hehe, that was one of the first Russian insults I ever learned. I must look into this film. :)

It's a neat film.

You must be talking about the movie Кукушка.

You're thinking of the phrase пошел ты...which roughly translates to "fuck off". FYI. The fin in the movie gets the pronunciation wrong and calls the Russian пшелты throughout the movie.

I'm not going to do your homework for you, but you can download phonetic cyrillic fonts. I have one actually preinstalled on my macbook, which is what I use to type in Russian.

Именно так.

When they asked russian his name, he answered "Пошел ты.." - he didn't want to communicate ) But Fin doesn't know Russian and he decides, that "Пошел ты" - russian's true name.

In the end he said, that his real name was Ivan.

it's very tedious for me to type the russian into the computer.
All the more reason to practice, practice, practice.

And I as well have no clue what "шольты" should be. The only thing I can think of that sounds similar is "шорты", and that's definitely not a name.

Yellow? Gold?

[bellezzarubata.livejournal.com]

Though spelled incorrectly. That'd be my guess.

[nadha.livejournal.com]

Not "Желтый"! "Пошел ты", I swear! :)

[xswt-cherryx.livejournal.com]

yeah you are correct, I did mean the second one! ;D

Well, if xswt_cherryx is studying Russian, it would make sense to learn typing in Russian, not in some strange volapyuk that gets transliterated into Russian. Think about the spelling, for example. I believe that one should learn how to spell in the language they learn.
