How do you say in Russian (preferably in Cyrillic):

"Are you a student?"

"Where do you live?"

Also, does anyone have any tips for understanding miyaki znak? I missed the lesson on devoicing the letters and would love to find an online resource.

Spaseeba!

can someone help me translate this term: кое-кто

In context:

Институт она закончила уже в Москве, поелившись в полупустой Николая Ивановича. Кое-кто многозначительно по этому поводу улыбался и подмигивал.....

эти проклятые порядковые числительные

In class today we were reading out loud and came to the phrase:

люди XVII–XVIII веков (people of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries).

How would you read that? Please think about it before you look under the cut! Well, html isn't working so well in this browser, so just think about it before you read the next line.

The professor said it would be correct to say семнадцатых–восемнадцатых веков. But then one student said his old teacher taught him to say семнадцатого–восемнадцатого веков. Who is right?

Thanks!
