Linguist:Помидор pomidor is a "spoiled" french word "pomme d'amour"

K.T.:I see you used "pomidor"...I thought about using "o" instead of "a" but I've seen it transliterated (?)/put into the roman/latin alphabet with "a"...

K.T., Russian is not phonetic language, it has vowel reduction, so many Russian learners make mistakes, even native Russians make mistakes.

Guest:
tva(m) = tvaja = tuya = your (fem)
ivlivs = ivliune = julian / julio = julian
-------------------------------------------

it's твОя (tvOja)

there's no word "ivliune" in Russian

I found "pomidor" in one of my dictionaries and "pamidor" in another one. I appreciate your comments, though.

Since you seem to know Russian, I'd like to know if you have a preference in bilingual dictionaries. Since I use one to communicate with people who are familiar with Russian or other Slavic languages, I'd like to find one that has higher-level words, not just a learner's dictionary. Thank-you, in advance.

Guest, pAmidor is the way it's pronounced, though it's written with O.

As for dictionnaries, Oxford dictionnary is good, but number of words depends on its size, so of course use a big one, then Miller or Muller (?) Russian-English or English-Russian dictionnary is good as well.

Make sure it shows stress, otherwise, a waste of money.
