Hello, please can you translate this? I tried to use the free translation stuff but I do not like it Sad thank you in advance.


Everything will be ok, I did not mean to upset you, I only want to talk to you, to dialogue, I wanted to exchange opinions, to tell you how I feel, it is important for me to talk about everything, I think it is important that we talk, but it is difficult to talk when you do not understand what I mean.

garota, are you a man or a woman? The translation of the verbs depend on it.

Все будет хорошо, я не хотела тебя расстроить, я только хочу общаться с тобой, я хотела обменяться мнениями, рассказать, что я чувствую, это важно для меня разговаривать с тобой обо всем. Я считаю, что это важно, что мы общаемся, но это трудно, когда ты не понимаешь, что я имею в виду.

garota, we have two different Russian words for the word "you".
You may use my translation if that person is your close friend. If he/she is an old person or not your close friend, I will change the translation.

Depends on the context.
It may mean "new kid on the block".

lol. Well, I definitely don't want that. See, I'm making a particular design and what I'm going for is something like "beginner" or "novice" in the Buddhistic sense that beginner's mind=best mind. Any suggestion on a good word that would express this concept? It should be a short word, no more than 6 or seven letters I should think.

Are you making a GUI with a selection of oftions one of which is "beginner"? Could you give the whole list of options/words you use? Maybe I'd have a brainwave then. Meanwhile I can only think of "for beginners" - "начинающим", which is longer than you want. Anyway, your original suggestion, новичок, will do I think.

What's a GUI? lol.

Well, at any rate I think my original idea will work. I don't want to be associated with any bad 90's boy bands tho (for those who don't know the "New Kids on the Block" were a horrible teen boy band in the late 80's early 90's-ish). Thanks for the help.
