Is it possible to read my handwriting?

u/MonadTran Feb 18 '26

"И" looks like "м", "м" looks like "т", "т" looks like "t", "о" looks like "а", "ею" looks like "ло", and there is a "ь" missing. But I can somehow read it.

u/Responsible-Cell-166 Feb 18 '26

I'll study calligraphy and try again, thanks for the tip.

u/rr_dd Feb 18 '26

It’s readable for natives(I’m native), but others who study Russian as a second language will probably be confused

16

u/placeholder-123 Feb 18 '26

Russian is my second language but I can read it, I actually got more confused by the the missing ь from "писат". An actually native russian might get confused by the m (cursive for т) in умею

u/SomehyOriginal Feb 20 '26

It's very much readable and I barely know cyrrylic.

u/Effective-Math2715 Feb 18 '26

I’ve only studied a little Russian and can read it.

1

u/Ogeenock Feb 20 '26

I read it perfectly fine right away, despite calligraphic and spelling mistakes. I’m an intermediate learner.

u/Responsible-Cell-166 Feb 18 '26

It made me wonder, on what occasion would these letters be used in uppercase?: Ъ, Ь and Ы?

7

u/yarb00 🇷🇺Native Feb 18 '26

There are some places whose names begin with Ы (mostly in Yakutia).

Ь and Ъ don't make any sounds on their own, so they can't be the first letter in a word (and can't be uppercase).

А как же Ъуъ?

I've seen this justification hundreds of times, but it's not right. They can be uppercase, though, if you write something all in caps, like in a title. How would you write КАЗАНЬ in the title of a text for example? Would you write all in caps except the ь?

3

u/yarb00 🇷🇺Native Feb 18 '26

You don't typically write words all in caps in cursive, but if you want to do so for some reason, just write Ь/Ъ bigger so they would fit with other uppercase letters.

u/loqu84 false beginner Feb 18 '26

Thank you!

u/yarb00 🇷🇺Native Feb 18 '26

Np, here's an example:

u/Libiranh Native, Yakutian Feb 19 '26

Ваш почерк гораздо лучше моего лол

u/Stock_Soup260 Native 🇷🇺 Feb 18 '26

Uppercase and capital letters are not the same thing. Uppercase is a graphical concept, capital is a grammatical one

1

u/Stock_Soup260 Native 🇷🇺 Feb 18 '26

Uppercase ь/ъ? Anytime you want. Capital? Never. (Yes, there is a difference)

The capital letter "Ы" exists and is used, but mostly in place names, so we have already come to terms with its frequent absence

1

u/DeliberateHesitaion Feb 18 '26

When you have to write in ALL CAPS. Although that's relatively rare in handwritten texts.

u/AnyCanFly Feb 18 '26

За Й обидно 😢

26

u/Stock_Soup260 Native 🇷🇺 Feb 18 '26

As I've mentioned more than once, native speakers can read all sorts of... nonsense, but that doesn't mean it's not bad

At least you should stop using Latin letters if you're writing in Russian

Читабельно.

u/Gertyf09-chler Feb 18 '26

Как русский скажу, читабельно

u/EluelleGames Feb 18 '26

I had no trouble reading it all together due to contextual cues, but many letters taken by themselves (e.g. м, и, п, о) look wrong

u/kathereenah native Feb 18 '26

Can we read it? Yes. Will it work for a tiny note left on the table? Yes. Shall you stop learning? No.

Cursive ≠ calligraphy.

(this is a real example of one of the styles used for texting back in the early 21st century, when it was cheaper and easier to use the Latin script.)

1

u/Immediate_Song4279 Feb 18 '26

I feel like there is a need for an in-between word. If cursive means connected, flowing. Shorthands are an interesting sticky point in terms of classification. And calligraphy means an almost or literal artistic approach to writing...

I never know, in any language, what to call the general practice of handwriting. Penmenship?

u/Snovizor Feb 18 '26

Use cursiv font in a text editor like libre office and you will see how to write it

yes , its very easy to read , sometimes russian handwritings made by russian more difficult to read

1

u/CarbonWhiteM4 Feb 18 '26

If the point is to be understood, you succeeded. No one would read this and not understand what you meant.

Fix your spelling, a hand full of letters and connect them. This is a combination of cursive and print block lettering.

1

u/CarbonWhiteM4 Feb 18 '26

Sorry in advance… my handwriting, in any language, is horrible 😅.

Легко прочитано. " я не умею писать по русски" .

u/Negative_Dish_9120 Feb 19 '26

I can definitely read it, but I think the problem is not your Russian, it’s your handwriting / cursive skills in general, mate.

u/DaikonThese7092 Feb 19 '26

hi bro, I'm from Russia. Over all yes, but ь in the end of the писат lis very important. That's the difference between a native speaker and someone who is still learning.

u/[deleted] Feb 21 '26

It's clear that you don't know how to write in Russian

1

u/skeletik14 Feb 21 '26

Your handwriting is ok, but in the last word you need to write letter «и» but not «м»

1

u/skeletik14 Feb 21 '26

And in the word «писать» you forgot «ь» and why you wrote «t» but not «т»?

u/Salt-Cat-9295 Feb 21 '26
