learn_russianI've got a few assorted conversational questions...
Is it normal and polite to use the phrase Вы откуда? Are there any good alternatives to this that mean "Where are you from" other than где вы живёте? (By the way, I picked up this phrase from the movie "Everything is Illuminated" when Alex first meets the old woman in Tranchembrod)
What is the best word for "hobby"? For example, Russian language is my favorite hobby. Is the word увлечение used often in this context? If not, in what context is увлечение used?
Is the most common Russian verb "to lie" лгать? If not, what is? Examples of use would be appreciated.
