Ok, if in English you have one table and two, three, ten, hundred tables, in Russian you have to play a different game. A basic form of table is 'stol' (no articles in Russian)

1. So if you have one table, you have 'odin stol' - one table, then from 2 to 4 you have 'dva stola, tri stola, chetyre stola', from 5 to 10 you have 'pyat stolov, shest stolov, sem stolov'

2. From 11 to 20 you only have 'stolov' form.

3. Then come 21 tables - 'dvadtsat odin stol' (since it contains that word 'odin'), 22-24 tables (dva, tri, chetyre) - dvadtsat dva stola etc., 25-30 - dvadtsat pyat stolov. Then you put into a loop: 31 tables - 31 stol, 43 tables - 43 stola, 67 tables - 67 stolov etc. Right up to 111

4. Then 111-120 you get 'stolov' again

5. After which you enter the loop at point 3: 121 stol, 144 stola, 189 stolov

 

Now this makes life difficult with the translation, because you've got to program the correct forms for replies, for instance if there are 1471 of them it's 'otvet', if there are 4362 of them, it's 'otveta', if there are 6787 or 5111, it's 'otvetov'.

The numerals 1 and 2 also have gender forms...

 

 

 

That was interesting, thank you! 

 

As for translating the forum, you have my sympathy...

Well, honestly, unless we find a way to upload a programmed Russian version, people will have to do with incorrect Russian here. My programming skills are non-existent!

well these girls are not actresses, they are not "pro" so we can forgive them lol 

 

 

Ah, so they actually used skaters for the character roles? I actually didn't know. Thought it was just a TV movie with the usual questionable acting you can find in those. :drama:

It's hellishly difficult, I admit that. The grammar is just mad.

I haven't mentioned the fact these numerals are in fact declined - so they have different forms (ALL OF THEM!!!) depending where they come in a sentence.

I forgot what forum software this is, but doesn't it have language moduls?

 

That aside, while I usually like language - and other - idiosyncrasy, I think a basic amount of just simple English numeral succession might be an easier solution for just counting. ^^;

movies filmed at TCC as well, based off a skater who skated there before she passed, RIP

 

And the coach is based on the skater's actual coach, Shin Amano, whom a lot of you must know as the strict tech specialist. It would be in character for him to like Yuzu, I think.
