Paul C Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I am unable to translate what my second cousin is writing. Please help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) It's in Ukrainian, not Russian. Can't help there. Something about your grandfather owed her grandfather money, and coming to your home village to beat you and take your cow. Just kidding! They've changed Ukrainian since i was being prepared for World War 3 too. How about: "Week to you (~30.06) I unfortunately (?) such noisy-electronic-post (? e-mail? Hell, I don't know THAT in German or French either: my languages fossilized in the Carter/Brezhnev years). You received it?" You should experience my Vietnamese.

"Week ago (approximately June 30) I sent you the same list by electronic mail. Did you receive it?" Edited July 23, 2013 by JapanX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Pretty good for a guy who doesn't speak Ukrainian, huh? The human brain, completely unaided by Babblefish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utopis Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 "Week ago (approximately June 30) I sent you the same list by electronic mail. Did you receive it?" Only one minor correction: Not the same list but the same letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
