I don't know Russian well enough to translate into it, but I can read it=20
fairly well.

In the Cyrillic alphabet for Lojban, =DF, not =D9, is used for y. =FF is no=
t used as=20
a vowel in Russian, but it is in Bulgarian, and as I understand it (I don't=
=20
speak Bulgarian), it's closer to Lojban y than =D9 is.

I'd say "mi dunda lo plise ku do". "fa'a" is not a proper preposition but a=
=20
spatial tense marker (though all tense markers can be used as prepositions)=
=20
and doesn't denote motion unless preceded by "mo'i".

> zo'e pe do - =DE=D4=CF-=D4=CF =CF =D4=C5=C2=C5
"pe" isn't a preposition. It can be used to attach a prepositional phrase t=
o a=20
sumti (e.g. "le renro pe pa'o lo canko" means "the thrower who is through a=
=20
window", which is different from "le renro be pa'o lo canko" which means "t=
he=20
thrower through a window", i.e. he throws something through a window). "pe"=
 is=20
in the same selma'o as "goi", which does something quite un-preposition-lik=
e.

For "Do you speak Lojban?" I'd say "xu do se bangu la lojban". Is "=F4=D9 =
=C7=CF=D7=CF=D2=C9=DB=D8=20
=D0=CF-=CC=CF=D6=C2=C1=CE=D3=CB=C9" proper Russian? Btw, what about "=C2=D5=
=D2=D5=DB=C1=D3=CB=C9=CA =D1=DA=D9=CB"? (language=20
isolate spoken in Hunza) You may want to point out that "xu", like "=CC=C9"=
, can=20
follow the word being questioned.

That has to be either "ti me ma? -- lo plise" or "ti mo? -- plise". "=FE=D4=
=CF =CF=CE=20
=C4=C5=CC=C1=C5=D4" is "mo", not "me ma".

Enough comments for now. Keep up the good work!
