Handwriting any tips?

Post image

im a beginner with russian, probably obvious by my very simple notes lol, but i was wondering if my russian handwriting was any good? and also is anything wrong with these notes? like any translations i might have gotten wrong. the parenthesis arent meant to be literal translations btw, theyre just to help me pronounce the words

As it almost always:

Дд, Лл in writing by hand usually have triangular top, it's easier (your л looks almost identical to п from afar)

Дд's legs should stay under the "line", like Цц/Щщ's

in parentheses are (in my experience) less popular options except б

i was trying to do д lower on the line but my muscle memory with english writing kept stopping me, but practice makes perfect! thanks for the tips :)

You can use the cursive version of д, which looks like a latin g (the capital cursive Д is similar to latin D, but slightly different). Most native speakers write in cursive or a mix of cursive and print, but almost no one writes the print version of д.

чё за придирки из неоткуда это обычное написание печатными буквами, которым напишет большинство носителей если их попросить

Nice handwriting. Oh, one t slipped in instead of т.

вопрос: почему "spakoynI", а не spakoynOI (UK - Oi mate)?

u/diedup 13h ago

would that be the more accurate way to pronounce it? i just tried to write down how it sounded to me

u/BerserkVl 13h ago

In your transcription, "спокойной" and "ночи" end with the same letter i, which one might assume you use to represent the sound t"EA" (but then why in the word "пожаловать" is there an "i" instead of the final "a"), and if in the case of "ночи" this is true, then in the case of "спокойной" the last two letters are read as "OY"ster (but this is a literal reading; formally, as with other words where "o" is read as "a", here too it can be read as "спокойнАй")

Sometimes I just rewrite stuff hundreds of times on multiple pages for each to practice.

The thing that's giving "beginner learner" the most is that you're handwriting the letters just as they appear in print. Maybe you're from America, because, as far as I'm concerned, out there cursive (as you call it?) isn't really taught anymore, but in Europe it's very much still around and used as the default 😅

u/diedup 22h ago edited 22h ago

i learned cursive as a child, but only american cursive haha. im hoping my handwriting will become more natural the more i practice, as i said im VERY new to writing russian 🙏

edit: just to add, ive been told my english handwriting looks like print many times as well 😅 so that probably wouldnt help lol, but thank u for the tips!

I'm actually surprised seeing people write Russian in print - granted, I graduated school 20 years ago, but we were taught to write strictly in cursive for Russian. Writing in print was only for when we were first learning the letters.

u/helge-a 15h ago

Well, there’s the explanation. You wrote in print when you were first learning. I’ll be writing in regular font for awhile until I become more fluent :)

Naturally, pupils in middle schools 20 years ago didn't care about what they had been told to do in primary schools.

There are some spelling mistakes and transliteration inaccuracies. Handwriting is fine and comprehensive.

1

u/I_am_duskk 15h ago

Explain what mistakes and inaccuracies there are. How can anyone learn if they're only told what's wrong and not what's right?

1

u/Far-Tomorrow-9180 15h ago

Other people have already pointed out some of them.

u/PileofTerdFarts 15h ago

Извините is interchangeble for both "excuse me" and "sorry".
Excuse me can also be like Простите меня or Прошу прощения (I beg your pardon / forgive me)

u/amelikacaramelika 13h ago

seeing you write "д" like that is like seeing someone write "g" like how it is written in times new roman.

u/EggNotChan 2h ago

Everything is pretty much fine, except for that you missed an и in excuse me (You wrote извинте, and it's written with an и before the т.) but i guess just typing mistake?

Привет, слушай, в принципе у тебя хороший почерк, но в России так мало кто пишет, есть такие буквы как прописные, вот ты пишешь печатными, это те которые есть на клавиатуре, а прописные это те буквы между которыми нету промежутков, если тебе интересно то ты можешь попробовать по практиковать, а так тебя и так будут понимать, а так советую тебе не бросать русский язык, удачи

Your handwriting is just incredible, seriously
Even when I tried really hard, I couldn't do it that neatly lol

u/LEMOH28 1h ago

About "until tomorrow". In russian you will say it when you are speaking about time like "Do it until tomorrow"-Сделай это до завтра. If you want to say "до завтра" like you want to meet him/her tomorrow, it'll be correct to translate "See you tomorrow"-до завтра
