I'm searching the translation of this poem:

I know, that you are my reward
For years of labor and of pain,
For that unto the earthly pleasures
I never did myself betray,
For that I never ever told
Unto my loved one, "You are loved."
For that I did forgive all people
You'll be my angel from above


any help is much appreciated!

Could someone be so kind as to explain to me the difference between "прожил" and "жил"?

The specific sentence is "Так прожил он еще семь лет." How does this differ from "Так жил он еще семь лет"?

Спасибо!

How does the word подсказать work? I've heard it used frequently on the street when people ask strangers questions "Which bus goes to stop X" for instance. "Вы не подскажете..."

The dictionary says it means "to suggest", but it seems like it might also mean something similar to "Вы не знаете..." или "Вы не скажете..." as in, do you know, or will you tell me? Or are people actually saying "Will you suggest to me..." in this situation?

This is, perhaps, the stupidest question ever posted here. But it's something I've been wondering about for a while.


Okay, so, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home? Chekhov keeps saying "nuclear wessels" instead of vessels, and as I'm studying Russian now, I'm confused, because it doesn't look like there is a "w" sound in the language. (Unless I am completely stupid.) So what I'm wondering is if this is just absolutely horrid writing on their part or if there is a valid reason why a native Russian speaker would say "wessels" instead of "vessels".




I know, I know, I need a life.
