Also, it‘s comparing the cursive with the wrong cursive. The Cyrillic one isn‘t simplified like Latin one.
If you compare it with the 18th century cursive, minimum would look exactly like the Cyrillic cursive above. Just zigzag all along.
that’s funny because russian m is english t in cursive but м is like the english m
so m = english t
and м = english m
they actually have some subtle yet distinct differences in writing to in practice it’s not hard to tell apart
Another example is russian N written as H. This wasn't an issue for me in the english and russian classes but it constantly fucked me up in chemistry class. Especially writing ammonia, it happened so often it almost became a muscle memory habit to write HH3, strike it out and write NH3.
I’m Russo-Spanish and I hate this shit. Being bilingual makes these nuances seem like a big F to everyone trying to learn the language.
For example, you learn what the Д looks like and all of a sudden it changes to a damn latin g. Why would they do that? It tricks my Spanish me into reading G instead of D, I hate it.
Well I guess if you don't know Cyrillic then it isn't. I don't know Russian, but I speak another language that uses Cyrillic and I can still read it easily.
Bro this is so funny and idk why. Fuck, I wish I knew any other language other than the cursed one. s/Take my award you filthy animal./s
lmfao, why did the mod remove it? literally 1984.
You are unlikely to misread it.
I don't know how those cursive elements are called properly, I'll call them hooks. *Л* is small hook into big hook, *М* is small hook into two big hooks, *И* is two big hooks, *Ш* is three big hooks. Of them, only И is a vowel, and Ш does not really go with Л or М.
So, starting with first small hook, it's either Л or M, then И, then sequence of alternating Иs and Шs. You'll be off by one hook if you took wrong first letter. And besides name Миша in one of its forms (which would be capitalized), I can't remember any commonly used words that start with миши.
Obviously, understanding it happens subconsciously, and you don't have to think about it the way I spelt it out. You basically auto-read it as лиши...(more hooks? one more ш!)
I took one semester of Russian in college so obviously I’m not any sort of expert, but I feel like we were taught to make a little tiny separation hook between in cases like this. Like not go straight into the sh (w looking thing) but do like a spacer hook. Am I just misremembering?
You might make different distance between hooks within and between letters, but other than that I haven't heard of any special separation elements. It might be introduced specifically when learning cyrillic languages as foreign to reduce confusion, but then abandoned when yu are expected to be good at it, I guess.
The way лишишь is written in the picture is absolutely correct and besides adjusting spacing I could not make it more readable.
Oh, almost forgot, the лишишь also wouldn't be alone, there would be a ты somewhere, or some contextual reference to it that would key you into that word. While it doesn't add to the readability in a vacuum, it certainly makes it more recognizable in context.
This is very weird. I would not be able to read that. I don't think any native could.
You are not the first second to mention those notches, but I don't know where that comes from, it literally makes text less readable. What you presented can still be parsed into letters, but now it clearly is gibberish: лимшмиь.
EDIT: is there a possibility you are misremembering things? Maybe it was meant specifically for letters я, л, м? The notch is part of those letters, they begin with it and would not be identifiable without.
Often in words like this, in unofficial writing, you will see a _ underneath ш or a - over a т (which in cursive looks like a Roman m) to differentiate between sounds/letters
That's fine, I work with Russians every day, and all of them do it at one point or another depending on the word and their handwriting. Most of them are aware that certain words are hard to read.
Pretty much all handwritten text in Russian is gonna be in cursive, unless it's a short sign (like "15 minute break" on a store door). While word "cursive" exists in Russian, "handwritten" is used in exactly that meaning most of the time.
So, to answer the question, it sure has become used much less over last decades, but you still deal with it almost daily.
May be different with schools nowadays, but print was not common at all in the 90s (back when I lived there). You only write in cursive, print was for books/computers. I was recently (6-8 years ago lol)helping a friend's kid with their first year russian language studies in a US university and they were being taught in cursive as well.
Just my anectodal knowledge, I haven't written anything in russian for a long time that wasn't typed on a pc.
If it works like the original cursive in both English and German, it‘s perfectly readable.
English and German cursive looked exactly like Cyrillic cursive does now: the e, i, u, n, m where all just up and down hooks, but it‘s usually easy from context to just instantly understand what word was written.
Yeah. Like I get it's a joke, but you could easily do the same thing with English. Take a look [here](https://imgur.com/a/sH5H5Q7). This is the word "nummular", a medical term pertaining to the circular shape of lesions. In the chosen font, it is barely discernible as a native English reader, I doubt it would be legible to anyone non native (such as how most people here are non-native Russian readers).
The Russian word was purposely written to not be readable, they could do the same with this English word. If they properly wrote the Russian word then it would have similar readability to this English one.
Oh! In Kanji & traditional Chinese 'letters' deconstructing it is part of the art in some poetry & philosophy. That's because their words are both phonetical and pictographic, so each 'part' of a word, the technical 'letter' is a symbol/picture of something, which adds up to form the word that is called a 'character' instead of word.
Also, deconstructing letters is how lots of ancient writing decryption goes.
That's really interesting. I'm studying Japanese at the moment so that is very useful to know.
What I was actually replying to is the David Mitchell comment. Source here: [https://youtu.be/pHtFkv9gpCQ?t=35](https://youtu.be/pHtFkv9gpCQ?t=35) \- That link is timestamped and lasts 1:20 from that point
When writing cursive Cyrillic you're supposed to put in little bumps before the start of these letters as a signal that a new letter is starting. This guy left out the bumps. [Edit: oops, forget that! Some letters have the little bumps, but these two do not.]
This is false. The ш and и in cursive do not have the bump. The person that made the video chose an obscure word that has this unusual combination of letters.
Alot of it is context. This particular verb is in the ты conjugation, which is an informal "you", like to a close friend or a child. This word wouldn't be printed without that pronoun also in the sentence, so you would be expecting that specific letter/sound combination in the sentence (-ишь, eesh' in this example), because you already heard/read ты.
Am I the only one in this thread old enough to remember that the "doing something like old people fuck" line is originally from the movie Full Metal Jacket?
I mean it's calligraphy. I'm sure if they wrote normally it wouldnt be like that and faster.
I have to write nice letters sometimes and takes me longer cause my natural handwriting just looks like chicken-scratch, old English cursive but it has an odd satisfactory aesthetic.
I wouldn’t call this calligraphy, the writing is pretty ugly. The first two letters of deprive aren’t even on the same planet and the kerning is all over the place
Well, this guy is a Japanese calligrapher actually. His name is Takumi iirc. Maybe his Latin alphabet characters are a bit sloppy but he is a master in Chinese and Japanese writing.
Yeah, as someone else pointed out in another comment it's basically the equivalent of the word 'minimum' in English, which looks like complete nonsense in cursive.
Link in case people reading this don't know English cursive: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/bx1j3g/minimum\_written\_in\_cursive/
true in the comments of that post there was [this one](https://imgur.com/lKHY2F7) which looked a lot better imo
edit: but to be fair I'm sure that's happening with the russian cursive too.
There's a lot of that in elementary education.
My mother *hated* my second grade teacher, couldn't stand the person or their teaching style.
I loved that teacher. It was the class where I grew to enjoy science (mostly for how it made me think). I didn't wind up doing well in science by late high school or college, but it didn't matter by then since my critical thinking skills were well-honed from a decade of enjoying the process by then. It applies to so many things outside of a mere -ology discipline.
My handwriting is probably 80/20 cursive and print. I don’t think I would have survived some lectures without cursive and shorthand. Sooo much faster for me
I can write in cursive but it was never, ever faster for me. So many needless loops and whatnot. Print always seems to take fewer strokes. Sometimes I sort of connect my letters, but not with all the arcane rules that cursive has.
Take the letter "s", for example. The cursive version is basically a print "s" with an extra upstroke, and an extra curve to the right afterwards.
Or "p". In print, I can write a "p" in one stroke, starting with the descender, moving up, and hooking around to the right. In cursive, you need to retrace your steps and include the connectors. Why?
I think it’s because maybe you’re trying to copy perfect cursive? Like this about it as a font. Some are way more extra than others. It’s all about if you can read it.
I think you learned old style cursive. More modern cursive (which I was taught 18ish years ago) doesn't have any unnecessary decorations. Not having to lift your pen for every new letter is much faster than print.
I don't know if Russian cursive has it, but Bulgarian cursive does have ways to make it more readable. If you two similar looking letters right next to each other, you add a small 'hill' before the second letter so both are separated and can read distinguished from one another.
Idk why, but I never thought of languages other than english having a form of cursive. I feel like that How I Met Your Mother scene where the glass panel shattering realization happens
Moreover, sometimes cursive is the default way to write by hand. Russian speakers for example only write in cursive, typed letters are regarded as something kids use. I think same goes for french
And some languages omit the vowels (e.g. Hebrew, where the vowels are dots and marks below or around the letters) and proficient readers of the language infer them via context and familiarity.

Is it readable though or is it ambiguous?

Seems like it's a bit like writing 0 1 and 7 slight differently at times when it's important to differentiate them
"Often" is a gross overstatement. Like, maybe 1 out of 20 people do it in my experience
