And here are my questions.

Why does Tanya write about herself (about her health) as if she writes about another person's health? "The loving husband should care about health Тани"

Who is her loving husband? Greg? Does it mean when 2 people are engaged - they are married? I am familiar with Western traditions - engagement and marriage are DIFFERENT things. Being engaged doesn't mean being married. In general, engagement obliges to nothing if you decide to split.


I interpret that as her saying:
If you love me and want to marry me, then you would
want to take care of my health, the health of your future wife.  Doug

Cheap.  Anyone expecting highly accurate translations from the "online translation services" could be in for a huge surprise.  Like Greg.  Couple years ago I sent an email to a platonic friend ( Prompt)  in Russia who is fluent in Russian and English and she told me it was a butcher job....highly inaccurate and she showed it to me...what a mess.  It was just a mish-mash of words.  The actual meaning was lost in the gibberish and tenses etc.  She asked me to never do that again...please write in English.

If you want to save a couple bucks?  Using online translations is not the way to go.  Otherwise,  the UN and the State Dept would be using these programs and we can be sure...they are not.  Of course,  if the girl means very little to you and you are also a tightwad?  Go for it.  My 2 cents.

Doug, you are not attentive a little. That women wrote about herself as if she was writing about another person. For example, if I wanna say you must take care about me I will write - loving ................about me (I never say about myself in a third person) and not "........about Natalya".

Still can't understand what I mean? :)

The sense of her e-mail is CLEAR. I never use PC translators coz my English is quite fluent. But I always wonder - many women do not know Russian well (LMAO), do not know English at all - but they are all ANXIOUS about having a husband from abroad. :D But when it come to communicate with a foreign men - oops, the misunderstanding and misinterpretation appears.

And Western men PREFER this (poor English) but I do not know why. :D

Natalya, what is the answer then? Why would someone refer to themselves in the third person?    Doug, in the third person.

Elen,    ...ROTFLMAO!!!

Наташ, шизофреники пишут о себе в третьем лице... может девушка была настолько потрясена, что у нее крышу снесло?
When they came for the trade unionists, I did not speak out; I was not a trade unionist. When they came for the Jews, I didnt speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.

Well.......According to what I've read above I can draw the only one conclusion - If you do not know English at all - spend some money for PROFESSIONAL translator to have your Russian e-mail be translated correctly or send your e-mail to him in Russian and he will find a professional translator.

It's very easy to write something offensive and to say "sorry, my English is poor and you misunderstood me ... and etc. etc." A very good and "bullshit" reason to make excuses. Wanna have American husband - study English then. :?
