learn_russianI am a little confused about the meaning of the verb удивляться/удивиться.
To which is it closer in meaning: "to wonder" or "to be surprised"? I've seen it both ways but it seems those are rather diverse meanings to attribute to the same verb.
How would a Russian say,
"I was surprised he said that." and
"I wondered what he said"?
Thanks!
