I'm not sure that this is a bad thing Americans are more welcome and open to other people. More communicative may be... U can speak really bad English with them, no big deal! They'll understand u in any case...

Цитата:
what do you mean saying 'city' - old school definition, that it's a big town?... Even gorgeous Londo is called town, though it's got several cities - Westminser city, London city and etc., does VRN have it... The answer is no... City - is economical, cultural, and sometimes geografical heart of the big town, where people normally don't live but work/study/spend money and time for to have fun.... NY Big Apple has city, and other parts of it, are just sleeping districts... Paris, my love, has Cite Barselona, Madrid, Moscow, St. Petersburg... but not Stockholm or Helsinki for ex... So, still sure Voronezh is a city? (for a foreign ear it sounds ridiculuous) |

TehhiiWell,your answer is irrefragable,but maybe it also depends on personal feelings,being patriotic and proud of our city,on the other hand Voronezh is the capital of a whole region and is the seat of government.Moreover in the dictionary 2 meanings are given - one of them is "a big city"(in the USA it's determined due to the population or by the government),the other meaning is City(like the City of London)...
And I also adore Paris,though I've never been there,have you? |

Olaf77, No arguments against Americans.... What they say, they say!!! Complete mystery why they do it exactly so??? Perhaps you may explain, can't you?E.g., why they consider to be Sunday week initial day, and why they put month before day in a date indication, when the rest of the world is treating Monday as week-beginner and use dd/mm/yy system ...
Anyway,why not to call any populated place a city just becuse Americans do so |

Well, yeah, we have an American guest right now in Voronezh, my colleague for the next couple of months, and he would say Voronezh is "a big city". Like, one million people is A LOT in comparison with 200 thousand that make Destin, Florida, a city as well.
