edna Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hey, I want to learn...!! I just posted it on another thread, it seems...

edna Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I would love to know about the letters... I can make a mix between ours and Russian alphabet but it doesn´t work always. Maybe we can find a typos translator somewhere in the web? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted November 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 gyros is pronounced yee-ros the russians got the their alphabet from some greek monks, so that's why it's similar ( i think they probably also taught them about religion), i have now idea where it changed or why though. i think people who are not familiar with either could confuse them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I´m after the words too... It´ s just that all the dictionaries on the web give you the Greek alphabet and no translation into ours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 gyros is pronounced yee-ros thank you, Rach. Now I can feel vastly superior to the idiots in my car (no names, please) who say "Jyros." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcM Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Do you tell someone to be quiet by saying, "skasa?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 It´s great, when you know a latin language and a german one (do you call them like that??) you can figure what some words mean in other languages. My mother writes about this and I just called her to ask her about the origin of Russian, she just told me to read one of her books... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
