Thank you, Gary for the funny article. Being born in Russia, I did not really had a chance to imagine like those colloquials could look in the eyes of a non-native Russian-speaking person.
My two pennies here:
\"Da net\" - \"But no\" as an objection
\"Da noo (nu)\" - \"I am surprized,abashed or embarassed\"
| | | | | Da net! Sveta da Ya! | Feb 24, 2003 |
Da net = Oh, no!
Sveta da ya = Sveta and me
Thank you for really nice article! I never thought, how difficult obvious things can be!

| Yes we have no bananas! | Feb 24, 2003 |
The article didn\'t mention the first problem for English speakers!
U vas est\' banan?
Seichas u nas net.
Net banan?
Da, net banan!
I also like da net zhe! (Yes, no, but), meaning, \"no not at all\" (at least that\'s what I think it means!)

Преподавательница студенту: \"Переведите фразу: I do believe in .....\".
Студент (c подобающим Одесским акцентом): \"Я таки-да в это верю\".

Чтоб да, так нет ! - Well, actually, no ! (my translation)

| Nje tokjko po Russki :) | Feb 25, 2003 |
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. \"In English,\" he
said, \"A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as
Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language
wherein a double positive can form a negative.\"
A voice from the back of the room piped up, \"Yeah, right.\"
