So I take it this is the letter and the picture Yuzu sent to TAT? :)

Wasn't it like a two-page letter :laugh: ?
(my inner language nerd is tingling ugh... WAIT are we finally going to hear Yuzu speaking finnish?! Worlds is in Finland and so far he has spoken spanish and french after the interview with the winner... Will i finally get to hear him say "kiitos":luv17:?)
 
Isn't there a fan cam from a Finlandia Trophy press con where you can hear him say it? (Kind of. Not very clearly, if I remember correctly)

I just realized that there is a disturbing lack of a "lying on the floor" icon...
Oh well then i sure hope we get to hear him again♥ First time for me though (will i make it through it :laugh: ?)

I think this is from the GPF? There was word he gave his bouquet to TAT there, so I think this is just a short note in Russian, where he thanks her again that he probably added?

He is just so unbelievably sweet though, the way he addresses her and writing in her language, I've turned into goo :luv17:
 
LOL Yuzu, you should have been a bit more respectful! You're addressing TAT as if she were of the same age! :biggrin:
 
OH MY GOD I AM SORRY FOR THE CAPS BUT I FOUND THE VIDEO WHERE HE SAYS KIITOS
NO NO NO I CAN'T HANDLE THIS, HE SOUNDS SO ADORABLE, SOMEONE HOLD ME
:hopelessness:
 
This was from GPF so... :popcorn: it's not Johnny Weir. At GPF there were plenty of Russian skaters so any one them can help him.

And Russian skaters wouldn't know you don't get too familiar with TAT? :biggrin: She nearly told Bobrova off for omitting her patronymic during the gala!
 
Doesn't sound like it. The imperative singular is just wrong when addressing a well-respected older person. The right form would be приезжайте.
Google translate?
It seems odd that he didn't get any of the russians to proof read it, it would have been my first instinct o_O

Oh never mind, it's still SO SWEET! I'd laugh and still treasure that dedication - just because he obviously tried to write in those awful Cyrillic letters.
Yulia LIpnitskaia once showed a postcard from a Japanese fan. Who translated himself as вентилятор - that is, a fan for airing rooms. So loads of fun happens when translating from one language to another.
 
It's the thought that counts and TAT knows this as she's obviously thrilled with it all and quite touched so it's fine. In some way, maybe it matters even more if he tried on his own.

Yeah, except there would be no mistake then, now would it? This is why I said Weir, as a non-native speaker is more likely to make one and Yuzuru knows Johnny. I haven't quite lost all my marbles yet :)

Do you mind typing the letter in Russian? We will copy paste it into google translate and see how it will look like in Japanese and in English.

My heart melts imagining him struggling with cyrillic, he's so sweet. I do wonder if he went through the phase every fan of a foreign thing goes, "I want to learn the language!", when watching Plushy :laugh:
 
So good yet so wrong......the culprit can only be google translate....... :cool:
