- You seem to think I have a bad temper… I am very emotional with you, it is true.

- Your words bring me so much happiness and peace.

- my angel [as in calling someone "my angel"]

- I feel closer to you [meaning emotionally]

-I only talked over you [meaning wouldn't let him talk!] once or twice. If you noticed, when I realized you wanted to say something, I shut up right away, even when I was mad.

FLUENT speakers only please!!
Thank you so much!!! :)

而是你開始可以跳脫這個泥沼，用更客觀精準的眼光

看待彼此之間的關係

不再動不動就心情低落，不再被對方牽著鼻子走。

因為你知道，世界不是由她構成的。

即使失敗了，也還有很多值得去追尋的目標。

然後，珍惜兩個人相處的時光

在一起的時候，可以用盡全部的力氣去對她好，讓她如沐春風

而平常的時候，則是為自己的目標付出百分之百的努力，不為了別人，只為了自己。

很輕鬆的，你不用在煩惱什麼時候該對她好，怎樣增加相處的機會。

順其自然，你絕對會被珍惜，而不會被當作理所當然。

最後

成功了，恭喜，有情人終成眷屬。

失敗了，有點遺憾，也許是不適合，或許是沒緣分。

但無論如何，你都是贏家。

因為你又成長了

same with 15.....pyatnatsat or pitnatsat. I know that 5 is pyat but in 15,50 ,etc...it sounds more like pit.

Does number always stay the same? Like, will the number be different if it's feminine like "23 books"book in Russian is feminine.

I also have a question to ask you.
Kakoi tvoi lubimiy svet ?
Tell me your answer.....lol

The sentence is:
George Washington is the first president.

The question is:
How can I form a question such that the answer should be the FIRST?

Is it correct to say:
1. What is the ordinal number of George Washington's presidency?
2. In sequential order, what is the number of George Washington's presidency?

Any suggestion can you give me? Because both sound awkward.

How would you say the casual greeting of:
"Hello, how are you."
"I am fine."
"Oh, that's good to hear, by the way my name is...blank."
"nice to meet you, Blank, my name is Such and such."
or something like that, working on putting Italian sentences together and i'm just trying to get the hang of it. i'm just curious how to greet someone in the language

Is the IPA system comprehensive enough that a person could pronounce a transcription of a foreign language (written in narrow transcription) well enough to pass as a native speaker, without ever having heard the language? Or are there linguistic idiosyncrasies in every language that can't be transcribed in IPA?
