¿Estas aprendiendo Ruso?

 

Being the language lovers that we are... A place to talk about, or write in languages other than Spanish and English.

You mean, just adding "insky" to the end of English words isn't really speaking Russian? Drats.

That looks soo complicated. I can barely get this Spanish stuff down.

Я не понимаю ничего. (ya ni panimayu nichivo)
Я = Yo
не = no
понимаю = entiendo
ничего = nada

A double negative is grammatically correct in Russian, just like in Spanish. The word 'anything' (ничто) shouldn't be used in this sentence.

Rusty,

ничего
ничто

¿Qué la diferencia entre los dos? ¿La fin?

gracias

El primero significa 'nada'. El segundo significa 'algo/alguna cosa'.

Both ничто and ничего mean nothing, the former is just the nominative form and the latter the genitive form. However, it's true that ничто may also mean anything. As far as I know, both may be used in the sentence which has been discussed in the last couple of posts, but using ничего, like Rusty did, is by far the most common, so I'd go with that translation as well.

Well, I've been reading a bit about Russian and it seems like a very interesting language. Just going through the alphabet at the moment (This web page JChen, you seem interested aswell. Lot of info to take in, but I've found it helpfull).

Does anyone else know any helpfull introductory Russian web sites? Perhaps something that covers grammar / usage?

Thanks, ElDanés, for your reply. The meaning I applied to the different words stems from usage, not from a dictionary.
Both words mean nothing, as stated, but in a negated sentence, the genitive form (ничего) is preferred in the direct object. The accusative form (ничто) is also used, but as you stated, not as much (ничто is also nominative).
