What, by showing up two years late after we repelled all threat of German invasion? Gee, thanks guys.
It'd be the French that got saved by the Americans. Go trash their language.

Of course

Blame your ancestors. They're the ones who came over here and killed the people who were already here minding their own business and speaking their own language so they could do everything they're doing now. =p
I like Kung-Fu.
Are you calling my ancestors Puritans? YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
Okay, maybe I should of said "Your nation's rejects" rather than "Your ancestors"?

Чернобыль is probably how I would spell it, but without the ь because that changes the sound of the л from hard to soft and it should be hard in Чернобыль. Shouldn't it?Originally Posted by OdaiseGaelach

I'm rubbish at Russian, so I'm guessing that it's probably pronounced in English with the emphasis on the быль whereas in Russian it's pronounced with the emphasis on a different syllable.Originally Posted by Leeza
Kinda like Борис. In English it's pronounced Boris, in Russian it's pronounced like Barees.

It's silent, but it changes the sound of the syllable preceeding it. The ь changes the consonant preceeding it from hard to soft.Originally Posted by OdaiseGaelach
However, after looking it up, it seems like both versions of the word have a ь, so it just shows how terrible my Russian spelling is.
