Hello again.

How would you say, "I apologize for the content of this letter"? Would извените plus something else work?

Also, how would you say, "Do you always complain?!" or "Do you do anything other than complain?!" My dictionary doesn't have any definitions which fit with this use of "do." Maybe it's just an extra word in Engish to express frustration.

Thanks.

Question...

Is there a website out there that has a list of religious names (Talmud, Bible, Quran, specifically) in Russian and their English equivalents? Also, if a book exists with such information, that would also help.

Thanks in advance!

I studied Russian for about 5 and a half years in high school and the university I'm going to doesn't offer any courses on the Russian language at all. It's been 2 and a half years since I graduated and I'm desperately looking for some way to get the language back in my life. I work at summer camp where most of the kitchen staff comes from Russia or formerly Russian speaking countries so I talk with them during the summer. But I woke up this morning after trying to explain to my boyfriend what cases were on the phone and realized I had completely forgotten instrumental case... which is remarkable because that was my favorite one (because I always knew when to use it). Anyways does anyone have recommendations for getting the Russian language back into my life because I really miss it.

hi, i think...

i am translating movies now as a way to increase my vocabulary...but i am having some issues.

the word Здрасьте comes up numerous times...but i can not find it or any related word in my dictionary. it comes up when i think Здравствуйте should be said. is there a difference between the two?

also, i understand the meaning of this quote, but i am curious how others would translate it.

Сегодня праздник, который придумали компании, производящие.

Hey, does this make sense?
