Re: Mother's Day

hi,

Mother's day is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, but not everyone is even aware of such a holiday. The major women's day in Russia is the 8th of March (unfortunately). To my mind, it would be better if we celebrated Mother's Day))

Re: meaning of так

Hi,

I wouldn't call this word a parasite. It can be used as an adverb, a conjunction and a particle, and it's really used very actively. Our thesaurus provides 12 meanings of it plus lots of expressions with it.

Re: Does my Russian cursive look okay?

Hi, Christa, just a humble comment on letter Ё. Old Slavonic language has no such letter, so you won't find it in the Holy Scriptures. And we pray in Old Slavonic (though there are those who advocate for usage of modern Russian in this context). Besides, when a priest (batyushka) addresses the flock...
