Komsomolskaya Pravda Newspaper

But what does it say?

At first the picture and it’s bleed thru looked like money.
Marina could be on currency.

Were you ever in Novaya Gazeta? Marina, you always look great wearing a plaid schoolgirl miniskirt! :roll:

Trying to google the article so we can do a google translate but my Russian sucks :oops: Dates of the article are 4-11-2010 I tried “Марины Орловой Комсомольская правда” but not having a luck with that. I’m finding older articles.

We need an English translation here. Perhaps someone could do that as a contribution?

Maybe if we all just learn Russian then it wouldn’t be an issue. Forget the fact that I had been learning Tagolog, Spanish, & Greek. Damn, we just need to use one language and be done with it. ;-)

By the time I learn Russian, the second coming would be upon us.

I guess it’s just another of the many reasons why I admire Marina so much (and anyone who learns another language fluently).

Первый абзац просто порвал, муж виртуально изменяет жене с Мариной :lol:
A first paragraph just lol, a husband betrays his wife with Marina virtually :lol:

By the way here is slightly edited version on their site:

thanks for the article

I agree. Tackling a second language such as English, you have to think a bit differently. I wonder which language she sub-vocalizes in?

I’ve actually wondered lately if she still dreams in Russian or in English now.

Now there will definitely be millions of young Russian “Hot For Words.”
Make sure to write the “How to succeed if you try” book in Russian also (or you just write one and someone else does translation?). Cool thing, could easily edit both — Yep :cool:

Good find! I seen the photo of her dad’s tractor. I so want to drive it! :grin: I’ve driven the Ferrari of tractors. http://manspeak.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/john-deere-9620.jpg Check out my parking! http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/big-lorry-blog/JoF6.jpg

seconded, certainly. a role model and a diplomat to boot! next stop london.

top awesome.

it would be nice if Marina share some photos about her life in Russia
pleeeease Marina it is very interesting :roll:

I’m afraid you can’t drive it

game show? san francisco?! every day i learn more and more… brilliant. hope you are super proud.

Cool… I only “read it” also.
Like this picture…

I didn’t look at it, I didn’t copy link address and I didn’t paste it in here. :mrgreen:

compared with translations of other sites, this site was translated normally )))

She as posted many of them. It’s just bloody hard to find them. I looked though most the PIC pages but there are some photos she posted in her blog. There is one of the garden behind of her folks house. There is even some old videos of her in Russia. I have seen a few photos that she has made exclusive to the media that she doesn’t post on her blog.

Maybe at Pravda they are smart and write in such a way that google will have an easy job translating it?
Or maybe google uses Pravda as the model for translation.

hmmm… Sergey Brin is Russian maybe he is very fast typist and doing it himself? :grin:

:smile: i just check out Pravda for the photos

what she afraid of… :cry:

I think google just lucky

P.S. Sergey Brin is Russian Jew ))) and I’m not a rasist ;-) he is a talented man)))

My paternal grandparents could speak russian as well as yidish & then english

Marina i am [faclempt] being so very proud of & happy for you :oops:

:cool: B.B. rather than beg the question I always beg to differ :lol: :mrgreen:

Congrats on the Recognition in Your Home-Land! Full-Page Spread too! Not trying to be smart or anything… the first word that popped in my head was (Propaganda), which is a very interesting Word. Does Pravda or the word: Pravda have anything to do with it? Personally, I think America’s Controlled Media is nothing but Propaganda; esp. the Weather… although .10% is factual news that they ignore in their analysis’s over half the time, at least anyways!!

P.S. Hey, iluv2cutfarts: first word that popped in my head is real close to pooped in my head!

:mrgreen:

I was only kidding about the typing so, anyway…
What does This mean if you are a Russian Jew? You have no Russian DNA coursing through your veins and you are actually from Israel only living or born in Russia?
I really don’t know.

Yes, Sergey is great. I have some unbelievable ideas for google and I was hoping @marina knows him so I could start begging her for a way to contact.
Now we need a begging smiley ;-)

I couldn’t read it, but I liked the pictures :mrgreen:

Boris: Hoo boy!

Natasha: Stop that Boa-reese! Iss not kewl to drool!

I was kidding about the typing too :mrgreen:
He born and lived for some time in Russia so he has a little part of Russia in his soul))))
When jews emigrated from ex-USSR countries to Israel, a “real” jews called them russians coz they had a russian mentality although they are jews.
It’s paradox that in Russia they called jews and in Israel – russians.
Poor people :roll:

NIce pic.
Then I thought, wait a minute! You haven’t done a photo shoot in your naughty school girl outfit with your dark hair yet. :shock:
WHHHYYYYYY?????
You must. Thats not a demand, thats a request..in a round about way. Pleeeease? :grin: Pretty please with Godiva and balloons on top?
I’m just playing(not really), but I do think it would be neato. :cool:

На одной из фотографий стоимости Марина выше 10000 выступления комиссар по пролетариата. Я не люблю считаете, что ваши фотографии будут использоваться для упаковки рыбы, линии клетке птица или туалетная бумага.

Ain’t it the truth!

Marina, I understand that the old joke in Russia is:

“Izvestia nye izvestia, na Pravda nye Pravda”

(To those not knowing of the USSR, it means the news organization named “The News” is not the news, and the paper named “The Truth” is not the truth.)

Can you make a video in Russian for all the teeming millions of young “Hot For Words?”
They are most likely anxiously awaiting it.

is it coincidence that your article is above a liquor add? maybe some subliminal advertising?

seconded a second time. or was it third?

Congrats on the big time exposure, Teach! :smile: Reminds me; I do kind of miss the mini-kilt… :cry:
dc

If I ever get a command…
you are going to be my second in command. :grin:

I used to hear stories from articles in Pravda on Radio Moscow in the Cold War. When I found them on the internet a few years ago, I would write to the them about either their stories or some personal complaints. I think I sent so many emails and got on their nerves! What do I know? I once asked the communist party in cleveland if they knnwe where I could subscribe to Pravda in English. The man in Cleveland replied to look at the public library.

Here is a good word to do {psychopath}.
Everyone probably assumes they know the meaning.
Growing up you might hear someone call someone else a psychopath or just plain psycho and it would incorrectly become a synonym in their mind for crazy.
They never bother to look up the true meaning.

A lot of people probably know an actual psychopath or sociopath and don’t realize it.
This one would also be a public service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy

p.s. when I checked to see if you did this one (psychopath) already I noticed no x-word, how about {xenophobia}

Jah ever see this one “Picnic.. does it involve picking at stuff?” by Marina? :cool: ~~~~~Where to put?—flower…

I know you know this already but this…
http://www.hotforwords.com/words/
…is a massive amount of work you’ve done. Unbelievable :grin:

:cool: an “ex” {XOXO-oxox}… http://www.hotforwords.com/2008/12/23/christmas/ XOXO, typically to express affection or good friendship at the end of a written letter, email or SMS text message, in which, according to most sources, “o” means hugs and “x” means kisses—- :???: merry-XMAS…..

Hi GB,
Have you seen these two videos that Marina did in Russian?

GTA IV in Russian!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGjfnt4gw5A

AK-47 in Russian

Slow me…”A prodigy … who does wonderful things with little drumsticks on a machine of wooden keys, called the ‘xylophone’.”…sourced wiki–It consists of wooden bars of various lengths that are struck by plastic, wooden, or rubber mallets. Each bar is tuned to a specific pitch of the musical scale. :lol: The Simpsons Theme on Xylophone :-)

Very nice article Marina and a new photo with you in front of the tractor.
I imagine you must have tried driving that tractor once.
I like the part about how you became an au pair and how
you became part of that boy’s world. I know that you have talked
about it before and it would be interesting to have you tell your
own story someday about that and other adventures.

In the times of the “cold war” there emerged a new science called “kremlology”. It consisted of trying to figure out what these guys really ment. Readin an article in Pravda and trying to look behind the written word, and calculate what the real story was. No one (!) ever believed anything that this paper printed. Now I see they have changed compeletely.

Some facts and pics about Marina in snob magazine:
http://www.snob.ru/magazine/entry/3559
it’s in russian

If you are using Google Chrome, it will convert it over into English for you!

Marina likes fishing! She should bring her old fur coat and boots to Minnesota some time for the ice fishing. We have a blast!

:D

thanks, but i understand russian ;-)

Lucky you! :mrgreen:

And one day you… :arrow: :twisted: Just a football joke… :razz:

:grin:

Nice work, my dear teacher.
T’was ever thus… just more people discovering what we already knew! :cool:

Tell those dang reporters to quiet down in the back, I can hardly hear the lessons!

очень хорошо!

Dear teacher,I love your photo that in the newspaper,sorry cann’t read it though.I cann’t read Russian,that’s why I look up to people who can speak more than one language!I love your trade mark naughty school girl outfit,and yes with blond hair.I love you with blond hair!Congrats again Marina for all that you accomplished.Well see you later Marina,and to everyone else here peace,and see you later also :!: :cool: :smile:

… спортсменка, комсомолка, и наконец просто красавица :!: :smile:

sounds like fun comrade. i’ll wait for you to say “engage” then. ;>

“Golly-wood” :!: :lol:

In America, once they have their citizenship, they are called “Americans.” :smile:

Supposedly Sergei Brin wanted to call his search engine the “Gogol,” but Larry Page persuaded him to “Americanize” it to “Google.” :razz: :lol:

Stray questions:

• Since 5% of HFW viewers are Russian, wouldn’t it make sense to have every 20th lesson in Russian about the origins of some Russian word? I mean, Marina’s hot and very watchable in either language. :smile:
• There’s no “h” sound in Russian; but why did the Russians choose “г” (“g”) as a substitute when transcribing “h” from western languages (e.g. gospital, gooligan, etc.)? The Russian “Ñ…” (pronounced like the “ch” in Scottish “loch”) comes a lot closer to the “h” sound than does “г”. :???:

I support the first thesis :smile:

Здравствуй Марина!
После небольших технических неполадок наконец то сумел и сюда зарегистрироваться. Только хотел написать, как я в восторге от всей твоей деятельности. Только что прочитал статью КП. О сайте к стати узнал из газеты нашего факультета. Я сейчас закончил английский бакалавриат в будапештском университете и перехожу на магистратуру русской филологии. А ролики – так и английские, как и русские – считаю очень полезными, мимо того что от такой учительницы любой с удовольствием учится, и конечно упорно стараюсь популяризировать в кругу моих друзей, знакомых. Удачи!
Жду новые ролики, пересматриваю старые и если будет конкретный вопрос, обязательно напишу!
P.S. Хотя, на счет происхождения и точного значения русских слов (недавно подумал об этом и никто мне точно не мог объяснить): мордобой/мордоворот/держиморда.
Спасибо!

А сейчас кстати перевожу русские новости на венгерский информационно-аналитический сайт. Надеюсь вскоре и о Тебе/о Твоем сайте смогу что нибудь интересного написать. :)
