We just learned that in Russian we are surprised is Мы удивлены (My udivleny).
Let's learn about some of the things we see every day.
To say this house is big in Russian you say Этот дом большой (Etot dom bol'shoy).
This - Этот (Etot) - sounds like eh-tuh-t 文A
house - дом (dom) - sounds like doh-m 文A
big - большой (bol'shoy) - sounds like boh-l-show-ee 文A
