Date: 2004-05-10 08:11 pm (UTC)Wow, I just went off on a major tangent there.
Oh, and the Cyrillic alphabet has become so ingrained in my mind that sometimes I'll even read English words with the Russian sounds for letters that exist in both languages but are used to represent different sounds. For example, I'll look at the English word "bend" and read it like "vend," etc. :)

Date: 2004-05-11 08:56 pm (UTC)Plus I just like hearing people speak Russian...after so many years of being around it it's familiar and soothing.
I wish AIM allowed for cyrillic characters. :p

Date: 2004-05-11 02:32 pm (UTC)i just meant that the way the letters LOOK. seem DIFFERENT to me... seeming as how i dont speak the language...

No, of course you didn't mention your age. That would be like stating the obvious.

Obviously, not perfect, but maybe it might be a useful tool for some.

Date: 2004-05-11 02:34 pm (UTC)but it would be MORE HELPFUL if say... you could TELL me how to make them :\

Date: 2004-05-11 02:49 pm (UTC)You were rather vague in your request, so please have patience with these people who want to help. In truth, blatant rudeness is not helping you or your case much.
That said, here is the Russian keyboard layout.
Ё(ё) 1(!) 2(") 3(№) 4(;) 5(%) 6(:) 7(?) 8(*) 9( 0)

If you want to be able to type in Russian (and here I will assume your run Windows XP), open the Start menu. Go to Control Panel, and select "Regional and Language Options." Select the "Languages" tab, and click "Details." Towards the middle of the page, click on the "Add" button. Select "Russian" as the language you want to add, and then add it.
If you don't run Windows XP, go to Microsoft.com and search for the Russian language pack.
If you run another sort of operating system, I can't help you.

Date: 2004-05-11 07:31 am (UTC)what does that mean ?
no subject
Date: 2004-05-11 02:42 pm (UTC)i just meant the way the letters are.. they are differnt as to what i know...
i dont know what wtv is either.
Date: 2004-05-11 02:59 pm (UTC)its a foreign language.
- not all languages use the same alphabet.
the reason people are confused by your post is because this is completely axiomatic; of course the letters would look "weird" to someone who doesnt know the cyrillic alphabet. your post made it sound as if youd for some reason expected to recognize or understand the letters even though its a completely different alphabet from english. (you seem irritated by the comments youve gotten, so i wanted to explain why everyone probably reacted the way they did.)
Re: i dont know what wtv is either.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:01 pm (UTC)youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:17 pm (UTC)i was very clearly questioning your subsequent statement.
also, seeing as youve been so rude,
learn english, sweetie. DIFFERENT. not 'differnt'. the first time i assumed a typo, but alas the mistake has been repeated. i also considered that it could be representative of some kind of accent or writing style, but i doubt that is the case either. i have my money on a plain and simple inability to spell.
if, however, im wrong about this, my apologies.
Re: youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:23 pm (UTC)-AND, if you dont like how i type, or WHATEVER (wtv), then dont talk to me.. its that easy.
Re: youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:28 pm (UTC)i did not understand 'wtv' in any way.
the lesson here is that you shouldnt be assuming people know what you mean. if you learn anything from these comments/the failure of your post, it should be that.
Re: youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:38 pm (UTC)i REALLY think that most people could give a shit less as to how people type on the computer. its not like this is english class and everything has to be PERFECT... [wow] and yah, i probably should have used a different word instead of 'WEIRD' or whatever you are trying to say... but i didnt.. so oh well...
and for the assuming part?? if you didnt understand what i was asking, then you simply could have ASKED.. orrrr BETTER YET, just not have replied.
Re: youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:46 pm (UTC)This is turning into a ridiculous online catfight.
By the way, I did reply to your original question.
Re: youre very rude missy.
Date: 2004-05-11 03:49 pm (UTC)-but yah... i'll stop 'commenting'.
right

Date: 2004-05-11 03:51 pm (UTC)same to youno subject
Date: 2004-05-11 03:50 pm (UTC)Why do you want to make the letters, anyway?
Date: 2004-05-12 08:46 am (UTC)Testing: грелка
Hey, it works! I'm generally a look-typer, though, so this will be a pain for me until I get it memorized. Dumb question -- it is alphabetic order, right?
Re: Why do you want to make the letters, anyway?
Date: 2004-05-12 11:19 am (UTC)i was just curious as to how you get the letters to be russain, if that makes sense?? but i got it now, thanks.
Re: Why do you want to make the letters, anyway?
Date: 2004-05-14 04:14 am (UTC)On the keyboard it is (letter rows only)
ЙЦУКЕНГШЩЗХЪ
ФЫВАПРОЛДЖЭ
ЯЧСМИТЬБЮ
While the alphabetic order is
АБВГДЕЖЗИЙКЛМНОПРСТУФХЦЧШЩЬЫЪЭЮЯ
The keyboard layout, like in Latin-based languages, has more to do with how frequent this or that letter is being used in the language, the most frequently used ones being placed in the center of keyboard.
Re: Why do you want to make the letters, anyway?
Date: 2004-05-14 08:53 am (UTC)Thanks for the info, though; it will come in handy for me someday.
harder for us newbies
Date: 2004-05-14 10:20 am (UTC)when I just started to type, aged 12 (at that time it was just a typing machine, not a computer) I've been asking everybody why on Earth they did not put the Russian letters in plai alphabetic order?
When I started to type in English on a computer, some 12 years later, I kept asking the same, at that time concerning Latin letters :)
Re: Why do you want to make the letters, anyway?
Date: 2004-05-14 02:55 pm (UTC)thank you!
I'm Slavic and can comprehend Russian quite well,
but have never really immersed myself in learning to
read or write it...until this year.
and hence, I am now a member here.
If you scroll through some of the sillyness,
the comments here were quite helpful.

Let's get back to Russian language issues, if you don't mind :)
