i have some question about how Russian give names to their kids... 1. If a woman's Russian and she has a daughter but she's not married, what would be her daughter's middle name and last name? 2. how about If the woman has a daughter but her husband's not Russian? This thread has been dead for too long LOL ;D 1. In Russia all middle names independent of marital status are formed from the father's name and mean the son of or the daughter of. Like my father's name is Anatoly and I am Anna Anatolyevna. Andrey Shevchenko's Dad's name is Nikolay and he is Andrey Nikolaevich. Like Marat Mikhailovich  2. That I have no idea about. I guess it all depends on where the husband is from and how they decide it between themselves |

Now that this thread is alive again, let me ask you one question, Annie:
I've been trying to learn the russian alphabet and I guess I was doing fine, until I saw that picture of Marat from Marie Claire. It says: "Oh, Marat!", right?
If it is so, then why it's written: Mapam. Shouldn't it be: Mapat ?

Noemi is absolutely right mari this is a cursive way of writing T in Russian ;D Some lettes actually vary in writing depending whether they are cursive or printed. Dina it really is very individual. Independent of whether the man is marrying a foreigner or a Russian, she can either keep her maiden surname or take her husband's, it's anyone's personal choice, you are not obliged to take your husband's name...only if you want to  |

Nope.. letter t does not exist LOL. it's m in cursive/handwritten and it would be ò in printed. I promised a friend to write out a Russian alphabet in written letters, how we handwrite it because she is learning Russian too. So i will do that and scan it and then will post it here so it's easier to understand |

Not that it doesn't exist in the russian alphabet...  And don't worry Mari, it's not that bad once you get used to it...kind of like learning a secret code or something...hehehehe |

ok as for t. t as it is written in small letters in English doesn't exist at all LOL. It is either T - block capital, ò - block small letter or m - small handwritten LMAO ;D ;D ;D Seriously, don't litter your brain with this for now As for online Russian languages - it could be loads of fun and I am eager to help, we could do phonetics and pronounciation through Skype or MSN and have grammar and writing in here on this board ;D You guys just have to give me topics you want to discuss and words you want to learn and all and I am more than willing to help out |
