Author Post olieolson2000 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/9/2005 8:53:52 PM   Hi fellas, I am getting ready to call my Ukrainian girl for the first time. She knows a little English, but not a lot, and I know no Russian, so it should be interesting. :) Don't want to pay for an interpreter just yet, she says she just wants to hear my voice. But I do want to know, what is the way to correctly pronounce 'Irina'? Is it "eye-reena", or is it "Ear-reena"?

Just kidding Oily! scottlf Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/10/2005 8:17:48 AM   Olegnay, correct if I'm wrong, but if you include inflection, "ea-REE-na". The "ea" part is also shorter than you would normally pronounce it.

Also ask her if she has a nicknames (petnames) that she likes to be called.

Valentina was disappointed that I did not use her name more often. Even in casual conversation, I began to notice that she used my name in almost every sentence. It seems as though this is a way of connecting, a very different mentality than the West. Anyone else notice this? nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/10/2005 6:20:29 PM   Yeah, Ditto, I can relate, I almost forgot my real name from my Ex whcih was asshole? I almost but it on my drivers license. It would be as close as the guy in San Fransisco that changed his Legal name to Heywood JaBlowme! GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/10/2005 8:21:24 PM   Ditto, Good point..!! I did notice it, not just from Lena, but also from her mother, brother and one of her girlfriends that came ot visit us when we were in Ekaterinburg. And the more serious or important the question the more emphasis they place in pronouncing my name. And no, Mike... none of them called me 'asshole', lol... nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/10/2005 11:07:10 PM   Toadster, I was refering to the tender name my Ex has for me. GLTALLTOAD Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/11/2005 12:37:35 PM   Even though she met both of my parents, my ex wife's favorite name for me was BASTARD...go figure. nasfan6 Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/11/2005 5:14:08 PM   Bastard is my middle name! I think I will change my Name to Asshole Bastard Dickhead, Kind of has a ring to it if you say three times very quickly spirittraveller Member send PM   block PM add to buddies Send: 6/11/2005 10:20:30 PM   I always say,"that is MR. Head if you don`t mind? Thanks butty." Your Reply: Your name:   New Registration Password:   Forgot password?   refresh Code:   Russian brides > Main Forum > Correct Pronunciation?
