You might like this site (http://lingvo.yandex.ru), which is a pretty good English <-> Russian dictionary.

Just so you don't waste your time looking these words up, it says that "морковь" means "carrot(s)", and "лобовь" isn't in its database.

Maybe you mean "любовь", which means "love"?

I'm sure a native speaker will jump in and point something else out, though ... :)

Это любовь?

No, it's not "love" at least I'm pretty sure it's not (I mean, любовь does mean love but the word was definitely лобовь). It's from a «юзерпик» belonging to my friend:



She got it from ru_usperics and I was just wondering what it said. She doesn't know (or really care ;D) either.

Actually, it does say "любовь"! The text is fuzzy, so it's somewhat hard to read, but if you squint, you can see that the character is actually "ю". Note the extra vertical line to the right of the "л" and the dot connecting that line to the apparent "о".

So it says "love" and "carrots".

That's pretty cute ... *needs Russian icon*

Yes, I just realized that in looking at it more closely!

And Russian юзерпики are the best! I strongly suggest visiting ru_usperics. I plan on getting more when I get a paid account again.

WOW!
I made that userpic. **gleaming**
it's a kind of visual pun on the jocular expression lepusculus explained below, the girl bunny wouldn't have sex with the boy bunny until he gets her a carrot :)

My friend Marissa says: "I love it, tell him I love it." It's her icon, by the way.

Yes, I use the Яndex dictionary quite a bit, but posting it here revealed that it's a common rhyme used by Russians to call a loved one. Online dictionaries aren't quite right for this sort of thing! ;D
