The clothes

[katrina84]

I like to talk about the clothes and ... what is the english word for "быт"? I am an eternal dummy in all aspects of living like a rental flat, bills, taxes, cooking etc.

In last two years, however, I finally found my style. The compromise between usability and beauty. It`s mainly the dresses, even in winter. The A-silhouette dresses suits me good

Думаю, "way of life" - а так, ты действительно нашла свой стиль! Очень рад за тебя! ))))

Thank you!:) Would you please text me in English, as far as you visit the hobbit land so often:)
"way of life", I`ll remember!:)
I think there will be transformations in my style, but now it is already much better and more convenient than before. I am glad:):)

I have got a language cretinism - so I'm bad language teacher especially in a grammar, but they say I have just a weak accent. I fluently speak in professional areas but absolutely feeble in the way of life themes.
Yes, you absoluteley changed your fashion, but and that's more important you altered your look on a life. It's even more appreciably. I'm very glad to see you so positive lately! ))))

I think we had too much teachers in the educational system, now we just need to practice. It`s a pleasure to talk to you, your English is smooth if I may say so:) We are a little different people when we speak another language, I like it:)
I did reinvent myself. It costs me many efforts and mistakes but it is totally worth it:)

household routines? Что под бытом подразумевается, надо почетче понимать. Everyday life?

[katrina84]

I mean financial, medical and law aspects of everyday life - self-care, if I may say so. I live on my own and do everything by myself. Household routines is the significant part of self-care, but I don`t know if i would be right to describe the application to the government tax service for the return of the taxes I paid for medical treatment (for example) by this expression :) Or the organization of my trips. I suppose I imply the word "быт" for the interactions with society in general. These things are difficult for me, maybe because I am a nerd in a way:)

Sorry, I've reposted your post unintentionally by pressing some button (from my phone). I'll delete it as soon as I'm near the computer.

No, certainly it isn't 'household routine', 'everyday issues' seem to be more correct... but I am not a native to say surely. I wouldn't use the Russian word 'быт' for such interactions, yes)

I don't think you or any person who doesn't know all these proceedings, applications, taxes, bills and all nuances about them is a 'nerd'. They are sometimes really too complicated to understand. I know what I am talking about, as my writing job (articles) has the view to teaching people these things, the section is called 'tips' (?) or 'шпаргалки' in Russian, so such questions are frequently demanded.

No problem!:) I often do that myself, these touch-screens are just treacherous! I call my friends accidentally from the vk application, than nervously press "terminate".
I think "household routines" and "everyday issues" are brilliant expressions, thank you! I don`t need accurate words, because the more I am trying to speak perfectly the less I enjoy the conversation. So I just try to make my speech understandable:-)
Thank you for your kind words, it`s just seems that most of my friends are the grown-ups (marriages, 1-4-5 children, morgage, apartment repairs), and I am some fucking female Piter Pen:)
It is amazing that you have a writing job! How long did you start to write articles? Do you enjoy it?

Nice idea, Catherine!

I'd like to have a chat with you.

[katrina84]

Hello, my dear friend!:) I admire your language knowledges and I will be glad to talk to you anytime!
P.S. Do you have more foreign people at your workplace during the championship?

[morskoy_anemon]

Well, you asked you friends to tell you about any mistakes you make, so this is the first one - knowledge is an uncountable noun :)

Suprisingly, no, not much more. Of course, there are some foreigners, but they don't crowd as I expected in secrecy.

[katrina84]

Oh thank you! I will remember:)
I walked in the city centre on Sunday. The atmosphere is very masculine:) I didn`t see so many attractable men in all my life:)
