двенадцать [dvʲɪˈnatsətʲ]...?

If I ever hear a [ɪ] in Russian, I will be more than surprised, frankly.

Хаха))) Я не знаю Вас. Вы не знаете меня. вот почему

EDIT: Be surprised all you want. I've heard /ɪ/ in Russian. Maybe I'm just crazy, though.

Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. You'll see that nobody refers to others as (В)ы on the 'Net. It sounds condescending and patronizing.

I disagree with Wikipedia. [ɪ] doesn't appear quite as often as Wikipedia says it does. In 50% of the examples it brought up [ɪ] is usually pronounced as the written vowel, even though it's unstressed.

Теперь /ɪ/ есть?!))
Многие критикуют Википедию...а /ɪ/ — аллофон /i/. /ɪ/ есть.
Как Вы произносите "язык"? /jɪˈzɨk/? "четверг"? /tɕɪtˈvʲɛrk/?

Я забыл сказать, что я понял, что [ɪ] все-таки существует, только не так часто, как в Вики пишут.
I forgot to say that I understood that [ɪ] does exist indeed, just not as often as Wikipedia says.

Я, мои родители, родственники, друзья, знакомые, мы все произносим «язык» - [jeˈzɨk], a «четверг» - [tɕеtˈvʲеrg]. Это как-то удивительно?
My parents, I, relatives, friends, acquaintances -- we all say [jeˈzɨk] and [tɕеtˈvʲеrg]. Is that somehow surprising?

Я удивлен, что вы произносите четверг - [tɕetˈvʲerg], а диалекты разные. Я только слышал среднерусские говоры.

[ɪ] есть. Я не помешаюсь. Я счастливый)))

А восточные говоры? Москва? Петербург? Сальск? Ты пропустил самую главную часть России!



...не понял

I tried saying: [ɪ] exists. I'm not going crazy. I'm pleased (smiles)

I think I need to learn a bit more Russian.

Oh, for that, we have a nifty idiomatic expression: сходить с ума. It translates as to "go off one's mind." So we have then:

[ɪ] (все-таки) существует. Я не схожу с ума. Я счастлив ))


Это было бы классно! :D

*Attempt to translate*
That would have been cool.
Or, applying logic- that would be cool.

Ах! Круто! Я очень благодарен. Я не схожу с ума)))

Ax doesn't correpond to English oh. It's a gasp of surprise and it sounds frankly kind of awkward, as if you are a dainty lady trying to express her appreciation of whatever is being talked about. And now that I think about it, except in certain cases, only women use ax. For an "oh" sense, you should just take of the x and get something nearly homophonous to "ah".

замечательно! спасибо

Мы дожен гоборить, но не разговорить.
(We should talk, but not talk (and finish))

My newly learnt skill of the perfective aspect is great.

Unfortunately, the perfective-imperfective thing does not work as you think it would. разговáривать and говорить mean exactly the same thing when referring to a conversation (мы разговаривали = мы говорили), but говорить can be also used to be the imperfective of сказать (он говорил какие-то слова (he was saying some sort of words) =/= он сказал какие-то слова (he said some sort of words) ). разговáривать has no imperfective. говорить in the sense of a conversation has the perfective form of договорить. Thus your sentence would be better rendered as:

(If you want to use the договорить infinitive; note the bolded expression) Нам нужно разговаривать, но не договорить.
(If you want to use the imperfective infinitive for договорить, договаривать; note the bolded expression) Мы должны разговаривать, но не договаривать.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this language

I don't care about the difficulty. I'm just learning it because it sounds great!

One thing I'm curious about, what's with Russians and the repetition of closing brackets after sentences/words sometimes...?

If you mean these- «» - they're quotation marks.
