My wife was asking me about Chemicotts and left me scratching my head. She was meaning to say Chemicals.

Her favorite ice cream shop is Baskin Robinson.

She will say, I'm go with you or I'm go to home now.

She used to call me on my cellphone and ask "Where is you?"

Her sayings are so cute I hate to correct them.

Ever since she made the mistake by accident we have been calling our neighbours sausages.

When I'm going to leave the flat to go somewhere and I ask Vik if she wants to go, she says...

"I'm with you."

Very endearing, so I have not provided linguistic alternatives

I'm with you too Michelangelo... BUT NOT IN THAT WAY!

My girl and I were talking on the phone the other night when she was very tired.

I'm still a little shocked and/or confused but she said "I will sleep till blue" and when I asked her to explain she said that she meant to say she'll "sleep till she turns blue".

???

???

Horrible images come to mind but she said it's a common saying... $:-\$

Kuna, there's Russian expression "do posineniya", "turn into blue" which means not turning in sad, but some... literal saying. Usually used when trying to express somebody physically working so hard, that his face or body skin turns into blue ( I guess passing red and pale grades first.

). It really happens to people while they are making efforts, like power lifting, etc. Associated with blood circulation.
Your lady just joked a little about her hard job of sleeping.

Powerlifting??? Now we're talking about something that I know about...

Oh... back onto the topic... Smartcat, your explaination was MUCH better than the image it conjured in my mind... When she said it to me I thought of her sleep being so deep she would forget to breathe...

Russian Smurf Syndrome?

Here's a strange one:

I was standing in front of a small food shop waiting for her to come out, and I guess some shiny object caught my attention and I walked about one block over to look at it (actually it was just a statue). She came out and didn't see me immediately. As I came waling back, she exclaimed:

"You disapper like a cow lick your air!"

It seems there's is a phrase in Russian for when someone vanishes that translates roughly "you disappeared like a cow licked you from the air" or something like that

This one is a little more risque, but, I thought it was hilarious. Maybe some of you in relationships or married can appreciate this one. Remember we were living together at the time in Kharkov.

She told me (very matter of fact manner) that I must remember to "buy preservatives" when I went to the market. We had been eating different fruit jellies and preserves for breakfast, and were indeed out of them. So I asked "Strawberry okay?"

She gave me a very funny look and just said "Okay". (always question the funny look. It's never without reason).

I didn't think anything about it, and I came back with some delicious strawberry preserves. Later that night, when things became a little more intimate, she asked "where preservative?" I thought, oh boy!, this is going to be fun! And I ran to retrieve the strawberry preserves. This was approximately our ensuing exchange.

"Vat eez eet???"
"What?"
"Vat EEZ eet???
"What is what?"
"Vat you do??"
"HUH?"
"Vhere preservative???!!"
"What do you mean?" (holding jar in my hand so she can see it)
"Vat EEZ eet? Vhere preservative????"
"Right here! It's strawberry!!" (bouncing eyebrows up and down)
"Vat?"
"What?"
"VAT EEZ EET??"
"It's the preserves you told me to buy.. what are you talking about?"
"VAT?"
"HUH?"

This circular conversation went on for about a minute before I discovered the truth, and then laughed until I was literally helpless on the floor.

A "preservative", is actually - a condom.

At a party in dnerp I noticed a cute blond girl, looking at her dictionary. I guess she felt my eyes on her, so she walked over, looked up at me with her big blue eyes, and said in broken English...

"Spank me.",

"What," I gulped.

"Spank me!"

You can only imagine the images that flashed through my mind!

Turns out she was trying to say

"Speak to me."

Got a chuckle out of this one just a few hours ago. I was
heading home and called Elvira to ask if we needed milk
or anything. "V Minutochku, Vaw-gun, I'll watch the refrigerator."

Ok.. a few already mentioned: "I go to home now." - Every day after work I get this via SMS.

Before I flew to see her the first time "I wait you so mach!"

Also... very cute are the gender references to normal objects and reversed with people:

"My camera, SHE is so bad" (When the webcam is loose and moves a little bit)

"My car is not park on road, so I worry and watch HIM all night from window"

"My girlfriend come for dinner. HE drive with HIS boyfriend."

Sometimes wrong... but always cute. I don't correct her at this point in time.
