Hey Peter! Thank You! You always help me in details of the English language. You have a natural instinct in linguistics. You rocked my imagination today by analyze of the differences words Kalina and Kalinka.
[11:08:47] Peter Fogel: let's say that kalinka sounds smoother. [11:15:05] Lydia Fokina: You feel the nuances of the Russian language! Kalina - the name of the bush, and Kalinka - affectionate diminutive of the name! [11:30:10] Lydia Fokina: I do not feel the depth of the English language. I do not understand the deep meaning of the word Thank, for example. In Russian, thank спасибо спаси бог - Help You God. Well, I really have to the kitchen, but I'm wondering your opinion. Mitt Romney spoke about the fact that Russia is "the number one enemy of the United States." Extrapolated any plans to pre-emptive strike on Russia too? A lot of things I would like to discuss ... But today ... How do you like the performance of Oleg Pogudin?
Best wishes from Russia, Lydia
