Omg, I always wanted to learn this lesson.  How do you say, "Your beautiful" in Russian? |

Translators are the worst things to use when getting English --> Something else.
I'm learning Spanish right now (my state school laws say I have to), and when I translated English to Spanish, it was just absolute jibberish.
Find a Russian artist on dA and ask them. That's the best chance you got if you want to be exact and specific.
It's better then offending an actual minority or country-person of that language, trust me.

That being my exact point. That's not even Russian. That's an exact translation of Russian words to how it's written in English. Not a single Russian would even understand what you're saying, nor will anybody else even recognize that language (Namely Americans/Europeans, since it's English). Since you are using the wrong 'your', you're saying 'your' as in to her 'beauty' is an object, and not a compliment. |

You just said "I am proud of that" in Russian. |

Sorry, but my keyboard doesn't have the Cyrillic Alphabet. Besides, I already know the Cyrillic Alphabet by heart.  |

Yes, it is required in my state that in order to be allowed into a university, you must have at least two years of Spanish taken.

No, I don't have any Russian blood, I'm just Irish, Scottish, and German. I just like Russian language and culture. Now, Cooper, stop arguing with me AT ONCE!

Then you have no idea what you're saying in Russian, and is giving Fisi completely false translations. It doesn't matter if you're interested in their culture, you're still getting their language wrong.
Have respect for the Russians, at least.

That won't stop me from telling you the truth.
Translators are the worst way to try and get a correct term, and you're not helping by giving Fisi badly translated words.
A translator can't even get two words correct, that's how bad they are.
