Describing Analogies

[zombie-laika.livejournal.com]

How do you express analogies in Russian? For example, "a is to b as c is to d". Спасибо (thank you).

For those who have yet to discover this site...

multitran.ru is a beautiful, beautiful thing.

Yeah. That's all. You may now go on about your business.

May someone provide an explanation and examples as to how to use точно as opposed to точнее? I always see "Actually, I..." as "точнее, я..." but now I'm not so sure that's right. Thanks!

Regional Russian word usage differences

[solito.livejournal.com]

From time to time people ask about differences in word usage in different Russian cities: do we have different dialects, accents, word usage etc. I found an interesting link to a Russian-Russian dictionary (you can view it as a normal HTML or download as a Lingvo dictionary) that covers the word usage differences, mainly for Moscow and St.Petersburg, but there are other cities too.
