Merin — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:59:54 +0000

Russian brides are some of the most desirable in the world, second to none in terms of their beauty, loyalty and the ability to balance life outside and inside their homes skillfully and with dedication. Winning the affections of Russian brides is all about demonstrating love and long-term commitment towards them, and what better way to do so than learn their language?

We have discussed before how learning Russian in order to be able to greet your Russian bride in her native language is important, as is being able to express your love in Russian. In this post we discuss Russian love phrases in greater detail. The letters in caps in the phrases indicate where the words require stress. Apostrophe indicates a softer consonant like ‘t’ in ‘Tim’.

Russian Love Phrases – Express Your Relationship with a Russian Bride

In Russian, love phrases can have very deep meanings, and it is important to understand when to use the right phrase. A serious phrase spoken too early or formal phrases deep into a relationship could both be counter-productive. Avoid using automated software – it can greatly twist the meaning.

Here are phrases that can be used in a new relationship, when you have just begun to communicate:

It seems to me that we could be happy together : Mnye KAzhetsa, my MOzhim bit’ SCHAStlivy vMYEste

It seems like I have known you for a long time :Mnye KAzhetsa, ya davNo vas ZNAyu.

For a deeper relationship, however, phrases like the following would be appropriate:

I cannot live without you : Ya ne maGOO bez teBYA.

I am thinking of you all the time: Ya vse vremya DOOmayoo o teByE

I am happy to have met you : Ya schastliv chto vstretil teBya.

Russian Phrases to Express Reliability and Support to Your Russian Bride

Marriage to your Russian bride is not only about sentimentality or physical attraction, it also has a lot to do with how you support and reassure your partner.

These phrases should help when you feel the need to reinforce your affections:

Remember, I’m always next to you: POmni, ya vse’gdA ryAdom

I am thinking about you: Ya dUmayu o tebYe

I’ll do everything I can : Ya sdElayu vsyO, chto smogOO

I am waiting impatiently to meet you: Ya s neterpEniyem zdu vstrEchi s tobOy

Russian brides are sensitive women who need to be told they are loved. On the other hand, too much of expression too soon in the relationship may not be taken very well: balance is everything. Don’t be afraid to be too emotional if you are – you can always play the learning game – ask your bride to help you learn her language. As you practice the phrases in chats, e-mails and phone calls, you would be able to find the golden mean. Using the Russian phrases given here will help you start your relationship and demonstrate your commitment and caring.

Russian Love Phrases – Romancing a Russian Bride

Russian brides are not hard to please, most of them marry for love and a better future. But to let the beautiful Russian girl become a suitable Russian bride, direct communication is essential. You must be able to express your emotions and sentiments clearly and without the help of an interpreter or translation software. Here are a few tips on how to make your Russian girl fall in love with you through the beauty of the Russian language.

Importance of Using Russian Love Phrases with Your Russian Bride

Saying your phrases in Russian expresses your love for the Russian bride in a special way. It is possible that she does not understand the nuances of English very well, but with Russian love phrases there would be no doubts about your feelings for her. Don’t worry if you make a mistake – you are not expected to be fluent in Russian. Mistakes can actually be a good subject for a conversation.

Since Russian brides are used to Russian, the love phrases in Russian would sound that much sweeter, especially if told by a foreigner.

If you need to use a translator software to communicate with your Russian girl, it could lead to misunderstanding, because the software mechanically translates the words but not emotions. Automated translation often results in errors that radically change the tone and meaning. Speak English, use a few trusted Russian phrases and then learn from each other. Learning the language and helping each other is always a good conversation starter. You can simply ask “How do you say … in Russian”..

Moreover, the fact that you took the time and effort to learn up the Russian phrases proves your affection and commitment to your Russian bride.

Russian Terms of Endearment, Compliments and Love Phrases

Here are some general terms of endearment you can use if you have been in communication with a Russian girl and feel that a romantic connection has already developed. The capital letters signify the parts of the words that need stress.

My sweet : MIlaya moyA

My Sweet Elena: Milaya Elena

My sweet (tender) : LAskovaya moyA

My sweetheart : LyubImaya moyA

My joy : RAdost’ moyA (apostrophe signifies softer pronunciation like ‘t’ in Tim)

My dear : DorogAya moyA

Here are a few compliments you can pay your Russian bride:

You are so beautiful : Ti takAya krasivaya

You are so tender : Ti takAya nEzhnaya

You are so wonderful : Ti takAya chudEsnaya

You are so glamorous : Ti takAya obayAtel’naya

You are so attractive : Ti takaya privlekatel’naya

Finally, here are a few love phrases for your Russian bride:

Here is my heart. It is full of love: Vot moe serdtse. Ono polno lubvi.

I like you : Ty mne nravishSA

I love you : Ya tebyA lyublyU

Don’t forget about me : Ne zabivai obo mne.

Russian Love Phrases – Romancing a Russian Bride

Saying Hello in Russian – Romancing a Russian Bride

Merin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:02:48 +0000

Marrying a Russian woman is very easy if the communication between you and your Russian bride is excellent. It helps if your bride speaks English, but things become much smoother with her and her family if you can speak a few words of basic Russian. Love can bloom between the first Hello and Goodbye, and here’s some help for you to say these and other such basic words in Russian.

Being Formal or Informal with Your Russian Bride

Unlike in English, Russian has different words for the same greetings.

One is formal, for use between those meeting for the first time, or when meeting people more elder or respectable.

The other is informal, for use between friends, or people who already know each other.

Saying Hello and Goodbye to Your Russian Bride

The formal Hello in Russian is ZDRAST-uy-te, whereas the informal one is ZDRAST-uy. To simply say Hi, you say pri-VYET.

The formal Goodbye in Russian is da svi-DA-ni-ya, the informal Goodbye or Bye is pa-KA.

The capital letters given in the phonetic Russian here are for emphasis, these are spoken in a louder tone. For example, in da svi-DA-ni-ya, the emphasis is only on the “DA”, and the rest is spoken without emphasis.

Saying Good Morning and Good Night to Your Russian Bride

Once you have memorized Hello and Goodbye in Russian, it is time to move on to other phrases of greeting, like Good Morning, or DO -bra-ye OO-tra.

To wish a Russian woman Good Evening, say DO-briy VYE-chir!

To bid Good night, say DO-broy NO-chi!

To wish your Russian bride a Good day, say DO-briy DYEN’!

It gets easier with practice, so try and repeat these phrases at every opportunity of interacting with a Russian woman.

Saying “Nice to Meet You” and “See You Soon” to Your Russian Bride

Being able to use polite phrases like “Nice to meet you” or rat paz-na-KO-mit’-sa would be great to make a good first impression on your Russian bride.

The alternative is “Very pleased to meet you” or O-chin’ pri-YAT-na.

“See you soon” in Russian is da SKO-ra-va.

It is important that you make every effort to learn your Russian bride’s language, because it is only in this way that you can forge a strong relationship.

When Easter is Celebrated by Russian Women

Merin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 04:10:15 +0000

Russian women love their customs and traditions, especially when it comes to their religion and holidays. Easter is one of the major holidays in Russia, which young Russian women celebrate with their family and friends.

They would love you more if you understood their culture and respected their traditions. Here are a few pointers which would help you do just that.

Dates of Easter Celebrated by Russian Women

Easter in Russia is not celebrated at the same time as in the West, because the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar, which usually runs two weeks behind the Gregorian calendar followed by Western Christian religion.

For Russian women, the Easter in 2008 comes on April the 27th, much later than the Easter celebrated in the Western world.

Easter Gifts and Greetings for Russian Women

Gift-giving is one of the favorite traditions of Russia, and this is even more so during Easter. Simple gifts like books, cakes and Easter eggs will be ideal for Russian women and their families.

The traditional greeting is “Hris-tos Vosk-res!” or “Christ has risen!”, and the customary reply, is “Vo isti-nu Vosk-res!” or “Truly He has risen!”. This is accompanied by three kisses alternating on the cheeks.

Russian Women and Easter Cooking

Easter is a communal festival, and cooking and feasting forms a large part of the general celebration. The traditional dishes are Pas-ha, a special triangular cheesecake with nuts, fruits and flavorings, and Kulich, the cylindrical Easter bread containing candied fruit, almonds and raisins.

Russian women prepare and cook for days in preparation of the festival, and the traditional Easter family breakfast is usually overflowing with delicacies.

Easter Customs Followed by Russian Women

Russian women spend the night before Easter at the Church, where they take the food to be blessed. They light a candle during the service which is brought home to mark the door with a holy cross. The home itself is thoroughly aired and cleaned.

At the breakfast table, the Easter egg is broken and shared between the members of the family. This is an Easter egg dyed red by boiling it with onion peels, to signify the sacrifice and blood of Christ. Other artificial colors may also be used.

Russian women paint the red-dyed Easter eggs with various designs, though nowadays beautifully painted Easter eggs are usually bought from shops.

Russian women are modern yet traditional. They enjoy celebrating customary Easter, and yet like spending time at nightclubs and parties. To find such a complete, well-balanced, and gorgeous Russian woman, sign up at Loversplanet.com before this Russian Easter.

Dating Beautiful Russian Girls Made Simple

Merin — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 15:10:28 +0000

When it comes to dating Russian girls, Western men are often unsure of the ways and means to successfully win the heart of their dream women. Differences in culture and other factors mean that a Westerner needs to understand the intricacies of Russian life in general, and romantic etiquette in particular, before being successful with Russian women.

Here are a few pointers for a Western man looking to successfully date a Russian girl:

Typical Russian Psyche to Keep in Mind While Dating Russian Girls

For a Western man, it is usual to talk about his wealth and professional success in order to impress a lady. While this might find success with his countrywomen, the tactic could backfire in Russia, where a beautiful woman looking for love could be less than impressed with men with only money and little else to recommend them.

Russian women like their men to be well-kept and well-groomed, so any Western man trying to court a Russian woman must be sure to present himself smartly at all times.

Cultural Aspects to be Kept in Mind While Dating Russian Girls

Russian girls like to be presented with flowers and gifts from their dates because in their culture it is a sign of love. Not only is it customary to give gifts and flowers on holidays like Women’s Day, Valentine’s Day or Christmas, but also as a spontaneous gesture of affection. It is also considered thoughtful to send flowers to your date’s mother on special occasions.

A language barrier can be a big stumbling block between an international dating couple. A Western man can overcome this by trying to learn the Russian language. This would also immediately endear you to your date.

Pitfalls to Beware of While Dating Russian Girls

When you meet your Russian date through a marriage agency, be sure to consider a date’s mental make-up and other attributes before making any kind of commitments, because unfortunately scams are rampant in the international dating scene.

One of the best ways to meet the right Russian girl for you is to sign up on a dating website like Loversplanet.com. Here, we encourage you to properly get to know a Russian girl online before dating her in person, dramatically increasing your chances of successfully dating a Russian girl.

Loversplanet.com is a great website for not only finding the right girls from Russia to date, but also for excellent advice and support on Russian dating. Sign up for Loversplanet.com today as the first step towards successful dating with Russian girls.

Tips for Dating Single Russian and Ukraine Ladies

Merin — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 14:24:09 +0000

Dating single Russian and Ukraine ladies can be a very different experience from dating a woman from the West, not only because of the physical distance, but also because of the cultural differences.

Here are a few tips to help tide you through the intricacies of dating ladies from Russia and Ukraine.

How to Succeed in Meeting Suitable Single Russian and Ukraine Ladies

Cultural differences to remember when Dating a Single Russian or Ukraine Woman

Always be courteous to women from Russia and Ukraine, they see opening doors for them or offering to take their coat to be the mark of a gentleman.

Make an effort to learn their language and understand the culture, this would endear you to them immediately. Be direct in your use of English, because they may not understand turns of phrase like “No big deal” or “Go figure.”

Russians have a dry, subtle sense of humor, so do not expect Russian or Ukraine ladies to laugh at rough and tumble jokes.

Display of physical affection in public is limited in Russia, so let the lady set the rules on this.

Offer thoughtful gifts from time to time while dating Russian and Ukraine ladies, because for them gifts are cultural symbols of affection. Flowers, especially long-stemmed roses or lilies, would be welcome too.

Perfect Gifts for Russian Ladies

Merin — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 09:47:36 +0000

It takes a lot to win over a Russian lady’s heart. While women from other countries might fall for expensive presents, Russian ladies would see right through to the spirit behind the gift.

Here are a few pointers on buying appropriate gifts for Russian women.

Why Choose a Gift for Your Russian Lady?

Russian etiquette is warm and giving. Russian households will embrace strangers into their bosom, shower them with attention, good food, and very often, gifts. It is a society where they even have a word for gifts given by guests: “gostinets”, where the word “gost” means “visitor.”

On special occasions, a Russian girl sees her mother receive flowers and gifts from her husband, friends and relatives. Russian women therefore see gifts as a natural symbol of affection and goodwill. Carrying a gift for a Russian lady shows her that you are a thoughtful, considerate man.

On what Occasions Do Russian Ladies Expect Gifts?

Gifts are usually given when you meet a Russian lady for the first time, and also on special days like the Valentine’s day on 14 February, International Women’s Day on 8 March, Christmas and New year.

If you accompany a Russian lady to a party, you are expected to carry flowers for the hostess, and perhaps a bottle of champagne. If you meet her immediate family, you would be appreciated if you carry a gift for each family member.

How to Choose the Perfect Gifts for Russian Ladies

The perfect gift for a Russian lady is one which expresses the most sentiment.

As such, flowers top the list. Long stemmed roses or lilies are favored. They should be given in odd numbers, and in any color other than yellow, because even number of flowers are given at funerals, and yellow flowers signify unfaithfulness.

While a gift like a tea-set would probably charm Russian ladies because most Russians are traditional tea-drinkers, what would really win her over is gold jewelry with diamonds. Gold and diamonds are both highly prized in Russia. The trick here is not to go over the top, simpler is better because you don’t want to insult the lady by trying to buy her affections.

Gifts by mail are usually not very reliable in Russia, so the best thing is to give the present in person, as an expression of your love. At Loversplanet.com, you are sure to find the Russian lady who is right for you. Charm her with a wonderful gift, and win her affections for a lifetime. Here’s more information about Choosing gifts for your Russian woman.

Culture and Nightlife: Movies in Russia

Whether you’re in Moscow or another one of Russia’s major cities, when you head out for a night on the town, can you head out for dinner and a movie? Just like American women, Russian women love movies, but what kind? You might be surprised to learn that in the past few years, Russian filmmakers have begun cranking out huge, and hugely popular, movies.

Modern Russian movies are more than just “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina.” (Dating hint: If you’re in Russia, and someone suggests watching “War and Peace,” beware that it’s nearly 7 hours long.) Some of the most popular new movies are horror flicks.
In the 1990s, movie production had all but ground to a stop in Russia, but lately production companies have been cranking out major hits, according to Business Week. As reported in this story, in 2004 “The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King” pulled in $14 million in Russia, while “Night Watch,” a Russian vampire movie about electricians from Moscow, pulled in $16.3, and a historical drama, “Turkish Gambit,” grossed $19.2 million.

So what kind of movies are popular in Russia? If you go by the IMDB, a major source for tracking movies and stars in the United States, the most popular movies are still those that came out prior to 1990. These early movies voted into the top five include (these titles are literal English translations): “Heart of a Dog,” about hypnosis and a mad scientist; “Ordinary Wonder,” about a magician and a princess; and “The Corporal and Others,” a wartime comedy. Interesting tidbit: the first two movies were TV movies. Other highly popular movies include Stalker, a – no surprise here! – horror flick about aliens.

If you’re in Russia and want to check out a movie in a theater, you’ll find that prices are about the same: $2-10 USD for a ticket depending on the time and day. Here’s a great site on cinemas in Moscow (and it has pictures of some of the most popular movie theaters). In addition to Russian language films, many theaters include popular but slightly older American films. For example, one of Moscow’s biggest theaters is now headlining “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” Whether or not seeing that would impress a date with a Russian girl is up to your discretion!

The Holidays and Russian Women

Sara — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 15:48:32 +0000

Now that the holiday season is upon us, we often get to thinking about family. Family meals, family memories, and our own family. Finding a Russian bride can be a great way to start making your own holiday memories.

As we mentioned in our last post, Russian women love so many of those values that our mothers might have: making sure their families are fed and their children get the highest quality care. While many Russian women are not necessarily religious, the important thing about their orthodoxy is tradition, the kind of thing that makes a holiday memory and creates the type of day you see on the covers of Christmas cards.

So wondering what Thanksgiving would be like in Russia? Well, traditionally, they do not celebrate this distinctively American holiday. However, the tradition of getting together as a family to celebrate life and each other is alive and well! Many Russian women know how to make pumpkin pie and often serve cranberry sauce as a decoration or a condiment. (Note: Many Russian women cook from scratch, not from cans!) Even if they don’t have all of the options for food as we do in America, they do highly value gathering together. And, as they do on their numerous holidays, uncorking the vodka bottle to celebrate! Since they don’t have Thanksgiving, that means no family arguments about who does what or who can or cannot watch (eat in front of) football.

For more information on Russian food and cuisine, try out this Web site. Don’t be afraid of any of the odd sound foods! Many of these are “traditional” Russian dishes, the kind of thing we in American eat on special holidays and shelve the rest of the year.

So get off this blog, browse through this site, and find someone special to connect with! You might really have someone to give thanks for next year.
