can you spell that phonetically, so i know how to pronounce it?

pre-viet

"pre" as in pre-school
"viet" as in vietnam

cool, thanks. there's a Korean guy who plays volleyball with us from Russia. He's got a little son who only speaks Russian.

would saying, "how are you?" be difficult?

Russian people aren't nice, they're selfish and don't help anyone.

Let me break that. What do you want?

Sh!t your just like the mofo friend who got his Lexus Sc300 stolen... he was such an ignorant @ss. He deserved his car stolen.. guy wouldn't help no-one (unless sex was involved :confused: )

"How are you" can be said as "kak dela", literally "how are things?".

Phonetically, "kak" as the first three letters of "caca"... I can't think of any other word with these three letters pronounced like that. Someone else should provide the phonetic pronunciation for "dela"... I cannot think of anything.

I speak a little Russian, but I'm a member of a Russian forum. They'll translate it assuming it isn't too long.

Pretty close ;)

I'd say "dela" as in "delapidated".
