Anyone write Cyrillic? I'd like to see more.

My oldest son does. His minor was in Russian, and he likes writing in both Russian and Old Church Slavonic (including pre-Nikonian).

It's been a long time for me- did German & Russian in school. There are some church docs that are gold & silver on purple vellum out on the web somewhere.

I used my Russian for about 5 years here in my community when the wave of immigrants came to the US after the fall of the Soviet Union.I did rather well in speaking,writing and reading it then but alas,have lost some of that ability.

The Russians and Ukrainians around me pick up english rather speedily so i didn't get as much practice.

I preferred to write cursive Cyrillic rather than print.Best sources are online papers and a few Russian learning sites.

 

Try your local library as well.

I am teaching myself Russian, but I have only been doing it for two days so my handwriting is pretty bad, but I am working on it.

8 years ago I was learning Russian. I found I preferred printing to cursive, it was easier for me to define. That was a long time ago, though.

Кирилицата изгледа малку поинаку кога се пишува ракописно. Јас немав проблеми да го подобрам ракописот, било на кирилица или на латиница, но морав да ги научам двете посебно. Горе дадените букви од Српската азбука се истите кои ги користиме овде, во Македонија, но во секојдневниот ракопис не се толку украсни...

 

translation:

Cyrillic looks a bit different when written in cursive. I didn't had any problems improving both my Cyrillic or Latin handwriting, but I had to practice them separately. The letters form the Serbian alphabet are the same as we use here, in Macedonia, but in the everyday use they are not that elaborate...

I want to be able to write in cursive, but I find myself printing when copying something from a website, in all other languages (English, French, Spanish) I use mainly cursive but print web and email adresses.

I am a native russian speaker, I speak and write russian since I am three years old. I started to write with cyrilic characters before writing with latin characters.

[Samovar]

I've been learning Russian for a few years, I had my first class at Moscow State University and I like to write cursive. I wish I spent more time at it.

 

I've put Russian aside lately to learn Japanese, Russian is easy compare to Kanji and Kana!

I'm learning Russian (now for two years). I like it, it's quite interesting to learn new kind of alphabet. At the beginning I was confused about the order of letters. And I'm still

I'm an immigrant from Russia to the US. After 12 years, I still have to do the little alphabet song if I have to get the letters in the right order.

I'm native Russian speaker also, was born in Siberia and lived there till 19...

I posted a very small sample of Cyrillic in my Danitrio vs Nakaya .27mm flexi nib comparison. Here is the image:

 

Not the most profound piece of writing though: It says, "the cat is by the window/ by the window is the cat". In Russian, this rhymes and is from some sort of nursery rhyme. I use it sometimes when testing pens.

I only managed to recognize koshka for cat (ok, phonetic English spelling there). It is very difficult for me to read Russian cursive. Much easier for me to print, as everything in books and the web is mostly print. I suppose I should have tried to learn the Russian cursive, but my professor was happy enough to allow my printing. It was more or less very steady and readable. He was from St. Peterburg. I still have a tendency to print my English "M" the same as my Russian "M" now, though, since I had to modify it to not look like the Russian "T". I wish I'd been able to keep up my studies. Life had other plans, though.

Yes, it can be difficult to switch to Cyrillic "thinking" when writing, because what looks like a latin "p" is the russian "r", what looks like "y" is a "u", what lookes like "u" is an "ee" and so on!

 

In any case, here is the transliteration:

 

koshka u okoshka

u okoshka koshka

 

koshka = cat

u = at/by/next to

okoshka = a conjugation of okoshko ("little window"), when it becomes an indirect object (at least I think that's what it becomes!)

 

I will try to post something nicer and more legible later.

I took Russian in College and learned Cyrillic script there. Interestingly enough It was the reason I stopped writing in cursive in English and would only print. I think I must write by sound, because I after taking Russian I kept substituting Cyrillic letters in for the letter in my normal hand. It has only been until recently (the last month or so) that I have begun writing English in cursive again. Now I would guess that I will have problems in Cyrillic. . . . I'll have to test that out.

[Daosus]

I moved to the US from Russia. I write in cursive in both languages, but I do still occasionally write "ang" instead of "and."

Here is some cyrilyc my wife wrote with my Pel Gaudi filled with Sailor Brown.

This is a poetry from Alexander Vertinsky from about 100 years ago.
