Maths is most definately fun! 
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
krassi_holmz, I love your avatar. It is probably one of the most intriguing mathimatical relationships I have encountered so far:
e^i*pi + 1 = 0

Welcome, krassi_holmz.
At fourteen, you're quite good at Mathematics.
You are right, Maths is fun!
As Ricky pointed out, your avatar is excellent!

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
Is "Здрасти" Bulgarian for "Hello" ? Is the language similar to Russian?

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
How do you say 'и не, я не говорю по-русски, но я могу притвориться'? Just wondering, does anyone know what the system for reading Russian is, e.g. does each character stand for a phonetic sound?
To Flowers4Carlos: Я могу притвориться также.

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
Yes, it's something like Russian.
And for the phonetic system Russian is better than English, but it's not so good as Bulgarian.

Well, how does the Bulgarian phonetic system work?

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
In the most ways we spell the letters from the words as we see them. There are no special rules for spelling.
Здрасти-[zdrasti] but our [r] is not same as English [r]. I'll correct myself. The Bulgarian phonetic isn't the best but it's from the simplest. But it's hell of a grammar.

Re: Здрасти by krassi_holmz
привет is Hi.
Здрасти=hello (short form of zdravstvujte=[be healthy]=greetings)
The Slavian R is similar to the Scottish.
And that Russian translator gives many mistakes.It does not translate the falling causes (nominative, genitive...)
Interesting thing I've noticed, the Russian grammar is almost 100% identical with that of Latin.Of course, the words are different, but a sentence could be inverted how you want.Inverted could a sentence be how want you.Then the accent/context switches a little.
As for krassi: how many letters does your alphabet have?Is the language noticeably changed towards the west (as you notice if you compare Russian to Ukrainian, Russian is more adapted to the western science/culture) or are most words still original?
As for justlooking: Yes, even more.There are apart letters for the sh-sounds (each one of them!), and 2 special signs (change "hardness" of a consonant).
