Im was faking it Robert, I know only one Russian word: nyet. {8^D
Im reasoning this comment thusly: "calculatsi" is probably calculations,
since words all over the world use common cognates, especially as
more technical terms are needed. "moy" is my? And really short words
in English will be really short words in other languages too, for all the
same reasons: you need them all the time. So Im guessing that "Ti ne
nravitsa moy calculatsi? Ti svolach." means "do you disagree with
my calculations? Do them for me."
How close am I? OK, Ill do some Carnot calcs but right now I gotta
run.
