Thanks for the english translation, but can we please have a lesson in pronouncing the phrases?

 

[jilljill]

Fortunately for me the following sign we saw in StP doesn't need a translation.

I just got a credit on Continental for $523.80! Our flights for our cruise in May went down over HALF!!!! It went from $509.00 per person to $247.40 per person.
Of course we almost didn't have our flight out of Orlando! I was checking our reservation and there had been some flight changes. After I confirmed them, our flight from Orlando to Houston had disappeared! It had us flying into Orlando but flying home to Seattle out of Houston! I freaked and got on the phone right away! While waiting, I repriced the itinerary and discovered the new price!

Yes, that I will learn -- you are right -- it's always important to be able to greet people politely!!!! I just know that if a language does not have a Latin or German base, I am fairly hopeless (learned this in Prague!)

Hic!

The most basic, informal way to greet someone is "Привет"- pronounced "pri-VET". This is informal and amounts to the English "Hi".

How do you do? ЗдрАвствуйте! Как делА? ZdrAvstvuyte! KAk delA?

How are you? Как поживаешь? Kak pozhivAesh?

How is everything? Как дела? KAk delA?

Hello all,

I just skipped a weeks worth of posts (did I miss anything important?)

Hope all have been well. Tom brought home a nasty cold from WDW (everyone was coughing and sneezing there too). It was nice to be in the sunshine, although it averaged about 70 degrees (cooler than it usually is when we go). But it was hot compared to the weather here in NY. Ughhhh.

And what's this about everyone drinking so early in the day???

Then shouldn't have been "nuclear WESSELS"????

Glad you had a good time but sorry Tom got a cold-- we signed you up for everything while you were gone, so now you are in charge

I would not call a glass of Pinot at 2PM drinking early in the day! It's way past champagne brunch time
