Eccentric Iconoclast I write the capital one like an English D, and write the lowercase one like a small d with the stem curling over the loop. ^^;;; There are a bunch of ways that one can write them, though. lowercase is generally written like lowercase English g, though.

Eccentric Iconoclast Well, you're not supposed to print when you're writing Russian. It's supposed to be aaall cursive. Printing is basically not allowed. But I DO write in print sometimes, and that's how I write my Дд-s (Like yours). Oh, and it's spelled "нужно." xD
I'll definitely have to look into the way that it's really written.
If anybody has a camera, do you think you could take a picture of how you write so I can see an example? That'd be great. 3nodding

It can be written either way. It doesn't really matter; I usually see it written as I explained above, but I've seen it as a g too. I'll scribble something out. I actually have a new camera.

Thanks, do you think you could write "Мне нужно водка" out for me? Just so I can see how different mine is compared to yours. That'd rock. heart

Also, Eccentric, "Printing is basically not allowed", can you like, get in trouble by writing like that?

Ho Ho Homo Also, Eccentric, "Printing is basically not allowed", can you like, get in trouble by writing like that? Basically, it's not done. Can you imagine trying to write in Times New Roman? That's kind of what printing in Russian would be, because the letters are always either serif (the little tails on the letters, like a capital I has as opposed to a lowercase l in a serif font) or italicized--and italicized in Russian is all but "cursive". I have trouble writing in cursive though. Bleh. I forgot how, for the most part, so now I don't think I could write in English cursive at all anymore. At least Russian's fairly standard with it--I learned D'Nealian Cursive, how about you? razz Ho Ho Homo Eccentric Iconoclast Forgedawn Eccentric Iconoclast I write the capital one like an English D, and write the lowercase one like a small d with the stem curling over the loop. ^^;;; There are a bunch of ways that one can write them, though. lowercase is generally written like lowercase English g, though.

Ho Ho Homo God, that would confuse me. eek Thank you so much. 3nodding Actually, it's kind of amazing how dissimilar English handwriting (ESPECIALLY cursive, but print as well) is from printed or typed text. I HATE the word "familia". Typed, it's no problem: фамилиа But here it is handwritten:  (Again, sorry for the slightly crappier-than-normal handwriting) it means "surname" or "family name".

But I hate it too.

Your handwriting is so neat compared to mine. xD
Mine is rather messy, presumably from overuse.

I"m writing a bunch of stuff in Russian in a sketchbook in case I get to borrow a scanner soon twisted How should I transliterate the th in my name (Athan)? It's the soft th, like in "thought"

I usually see "th" transliterated as "f" in such cases. ;D
I'm pondering adopting an actual Russian name. I looove my middle name's Russian equivalent (Irene - Ирина), so I think I'll use that. sweatdrop
And then my patronymic would be Ивановна. xD
