/lit/ - Literature

Learn Mandarin instead.

It'll come in handy when the troops come ashore.

Oh Hell, seriously?

Why doesn't anyone read anything other than Russian literature? Anyways you will never learn Russian, so enjoy.

I read French lit and American Lit too (occasionally Spanish).

Nah, Russian's going pretty well. After motherfucking Japanese, its a huge relief. I forgot most languages only require you to learn a few weird symbols and not a weird symbol for EVERY FUCKING WORD.

>>1095573
youuu gotta admit though russian literature/language tends to piss on the american equivalents, at least it used to.

>>1095577
....I'll leave that to my younger sister.

Someone in the family needs to know Russian for when Putin becomes immortal and takes over most of America.

I put a jihad on Russia.

>>1095586
Translation?

>>1095582

Do you speak or read Russian? No? Alright then.
Exactly how much American literature have you read? Do I really have to admit it?

And by the way I like the Russians as much as anyone else, but they tend to be so ridiculous overrepresented on the Internet that it's just silly.

Op, if your girlfriend is Russian, you'd be better off learning some self-defense techniques.

Learn Russian,
Be a man!

the other word is a corruption of a word meaning whore but it's used as something halfway between an insult and an intensifier, faggot or motherfucker would be close

Why? She's shorter than me and definitely weaker.

Well... despite being so innocent looking, she IS kinda evil and likes heavy metal... But I still don't see why I should...

>>1095610

>>1095613
She might be a MAN.

Ive put off any further learning until a time when I have more freedom to commit to the language but yes. I am learning Russian

>>1095616

Neat :3

>>1095626
Translation?

Oh fuck. My captcha:
Maruska jurrien

>>1095634

You'll find out once you've learned Russian.

>>1095638
Or I could find a Russian to translate it. Actually, it can't be that hard.

-learn the Russian letters
-google translate the romanticized letters
Or does google translate use Cyrillic too?

>>1095638
I NEED TO KNOW NOW THOUGH

>>1095641

It's written in a mixture of cursive and print, and some of the letters in cursive look like other letters in print. :3 good luck

>>1095601
Well in that case I think you're just hating the fact that they're overpresented, which makes sense. Lawl I don't think that you just said that. But the way its presented stems from that fact that its actually fucking good, I haven't read as much English lit as I'd of liked (even though im an english major?) because it really just bores me. I think Russian lit is so popular because it set the standards for what american lit eventually became and improved upon. I enjoy Russian lit the most, but I tend not to admit it for it seems everyone's bandwagoning it, with good reason though.

>>1095647
oops forgot a comma, i meant to say that i don't think you said that, that's what you actually said. WHOOPSIE

>>1095626

Don't watch anime, be a heterosexual, fucker.

>>1095665
I knew it was about anime as that word was easy to read but the rest got me.

Thanks.

>>1095665
Leaving /lit/ for a week,
learning Russian

> I think Russian lit is so popular because it set the standards for what american lit eventually became and improved upon

Not at all. The two developed in parallel with pretty much no cross-pollination--they have their foundational figures in the early 19th century and their first flourishing of literary culture from around the middle to the end. Russian literature only really started to be read in English in the early 20th century, well after American literature was established.
