    "Lol" ...... I wanted to reply to one poster with a word that I heard once, but I can't remember it now ... a not-very-nice word that means something like "a piece of wool" .... дуб___?

    How do you pronounce the word " счастливо" ? It sounds to me like "/sha-sli-va/" ...

    And, "детство" sounds "dje-stva", couldn't hear the 1st "т"' make any sound ...

    "Счастливо" произносится как "щислива". Буква "т" не произносится.
    "Детство" произносится как "децтва". Буква "т" даёт звук, но из-за быстрого произношения "тс" звучит, как "ц"

    How do you pronounce those suffixes of a [-ся] verb ?

    e.g.

    учиться - /tj-sja/

    учусь - /u-sj/ ?
    учишься - /sh-sja/ ?
    учится - /tsa/ ?
    учимся - /msja/ ?
    учитесь - /je-sj/ ?
    учатся -/tsa/ ?

    ----------------------------------

    In words like "дневнoй" and "поздня*ночь", does the letter "д" make a sound ? It seems to me, the letter "д" sounds silent ....

    @ helenefan
    учИться - /tj-sja/ in this case you must pronounce like /tsa/, like in Учится - /tsa/ , but the stress will be in different place

    you write all correct, but in this case in normal speach you will hear another sound

    in word "дневной" we are pronounce "д" like /dnevnoj/....and in "поздняя ночь" we not, like /poznyaya noch/

    i hope it's clear

    -тся, -ться are always pronounced as -ца [tsə] because the ц sound is never soft in Russian.
    In other forms, endings -сь [sʲ] and ся [sʲɪ] may also lose palatalization of с, making it -с /s/ and -са /sə/. This, afaik, is considered a feature of Eastern dialects, but lately I caught myself at switching between these two variants, which is weird since the easternmost point I've ever been is Nizhny Novgorod, and all my parents and grandparents but one were Muscovites, and the one my grandma who wasn't did not harden the с (she, by the way, had another speech feature, using -ся even after vowels, like, учуся, учися, учитеся), so either it's a common feature for speakers throughout Russia which simply nobody notices, or I don't know where it came from.

    what does "мне кажеццо шпиёна растим" mean ?

    "мне кажеццо шпиёна растим" -> "Мне кажется (что мы) шпиона растим"
    It seems to me like we bring up (raise) a spy


    (like parents would say about their child was he too nosey)
