"say on truth" - I didn't find it, could you please show (in online vocabularies, for example) your variant of "говоря по правде = по правде говоря". I'm embarrassed by ON, that means ПО in russian, and it looks like direct translation. That is exactly what I meant saying 'подстрочник'.2 Sinaya. What u mean russian подстрочник? is that some sort of a program?
to say on truth - is the correct as ever been.
try more, subtitles next time honey, when u'll be watching next hollywood flick.
English has a lot of phrases that have the same meaning but after direct translation the sense can be lost.
Just a small example - дождь льет как из ведра — it is raining cats and dogs (идиом.)
maybe it is used somewhere, but surely not in classical English

Has casually come on this theme. Did not even suspect about its existence!
I can not force myself Friday evening to re-read all pages at all. I will postpone for Monday.
And for now tell to me, please, on what the people have stopped: to communicate virtually or alive? It would be possible once a week or two times a month to be going to communicate somewhere with glass of drink.

I would'n agree with you. You better make difference between high brow English (or just proper English) and informal english which is used often by internet users. If you make a look at internet russian then you will see that it's different from proper russian (example: padonkaffski sleng).To everybody. I'm not showing off, I am what i am. American english is like a native language for me. But i haven't spend 25 years in NYC or whatever.
Rocksolana. FOrgot all the basics that u've learned in school, try chatting at forums for example topix.com, cuz u sound like an average KZ high school english taught student. no offence, try better and u'll see the light at the end of a tunnel
If I prefer to speak and write proper correct Russian it doesn't mean that i suck and uncool.

But for beginners it will be difficult to define the normal language from slang or smth like "olbanski".
In any case - let me offer the new topic - What is the car of your dream?

ok, I don't mind against all these informal phrases, just seen in the begining smth about "let's correct the mistakes and etc.". So we are going just to bla-bla-bla without paying any attention to classical things.
But for beginners it will be difficult to define the normal language from slang or smth like "olbanski".
In any case - let me offer the new topic - What is the car of your dream?
2Sinaya:
When i ve read your last sentence about car, i remembered end of Shahnazarov's "courier".
It the film main hero asked his friend "Have you a dream?" His friend answered "Yee, i wanna buy warm coat. It's my dream".
And main hero advised to him "Dream about great".
Have somebody seen this film?

2Michal:
