Subject: inch As though knew, but forgot -when they put two small strokes after a digit (e.g. 2"), does that mean inch? |

Thank you for "yup", but "huh" is neither answer, nor help. |

os. but TM's "uh huh" is an answer:)(a beautifuly american answer) means yes/yup/yes sirrie bob/etc.... |
|
We-e-el, OK. Now I see - (But for "uh", "huh" they give smth quite different.) And now I see gogolesque's second response. |
| uh-huh sounds like "Аха" по-русски meaning "ага", но не "угу". |

|
and "uh" - what we say when we dont know what to say and are thinking out loud or are really stupid "huh" = what? ah.. cave english. i love it! |
|
I checked the expression - the pronunciation is like ухУ, |

os im not so sure i like that pronunciation honestly, writing it in transliteration makes no sense... you just dont have the sound combinations for it in Russian |
| nope, it's "ah-hAh". |

|
ага is ah-hah but uh-huh is still not transliteratable |
|
Weeeel! The transcription of uhuh is омега х Омега and so it's just bound to sound like ухУ. |

| yeah, just like th sounds like t in transliteration (murder, its just plain murder) :) |
|
link 7.11.2005 11:33 |
| but with transliteration we are also forced to murder your fabulous ы :) |
|
That's ok. There's no difference between us in understanding of the loss occurring with th and ы through translit. |
| may the two strokes " also mean minutes? |
|

|
pupil i think so,if i remember correctly ' hours " minutes ''' seconds |
| or is it "seconds"? |
|
'for minutes " for seconds |
| used also in geographical coordinates (angle measurement) (degrees, minutes, seconds) |
| again, only in terms of location (geographic coordinates), not time. |
