Translation and meaning of ST in English and Russian. English abbreviations and abbreviations What does st mean in English
Dates in English sound quite different from the addition of numbers we are used to. Here, a different order of pronunciation and writing of numbers is sometimes used. Each group of ordinal numbers has its own characteristic ending.
1st, 21st, 31st - firstthe first
2nd, 22nd - secondsecond
3rd, 23rd - thirdthird
Other numbers end in - th:
7th, 10th, 27th, 14th, 30th
How to write the date in letters in English
When you write date in english, don't put any or . The only exceptions are official correspondence and other business contracts. In such cases, there is usually no dot after the date. If you are writing a letter, then the date in English is usually written under the address in the same corner. The month in the letter is abbreviated if the place is limited, and the number of letters in the name of the month exceeds 4 (November - Nov.). It looks something like this:
London
UK
Dec. 6th, 2015 or 6 Dec. 2015 or December 6, 2015
In principle, the date can be indicated by numbers. Only in this case, one should take into account the difference between the American and British versions of the designation. The fact is that Americans in letters indicate first the month, then the day and year.
September 15, 2015 — 09.15.15
or 09/15/15
See the date format for the Unified State Examination and the OGE.
In the British written language, the more familiar spelling is preferred. The date is immediately indicated, the next month in line, and at the end - the year.
September 15, 2015 — 15.09.15
or 15/09/15
How to say the date in English verbally
Indicating the year, divided into 2 halves. Immediately we pronounce the number of hundreds, followed by the subsequent number of tens and ones. Zero is sometimes pronounced as "ou" [əu].
1915 - nineteen fifteen
1905 - nineteen oh five
In 1915 - in nineteen fifteen
2000 - two thousand
2009 - two thousand nine
Date pronunciation example:
1) On the twenty-third of April, twenty-thirteen;

There are several options for writing the date:
September 7, 1990
September 7th, 1990
September 7, 1990
September 7th, 1990
Option September 7, 1990 is currently the most common, however, many manuals attribute it to the American version (as well as September 7th, 1990), a September 7, 1990 and September 7th, 1990 to classic British.
The date does not include prepositions or the definite article (with the exception of official letters and business documents). After the date, the dot is usually omitted.
When writing an English date, you should remember the peculiarities of using the endings of ordinal numbers in English:

3rd, 23rd - thi rd third
In all other cases, ordinal numbers have the ending th:
7th, 10th, 27th, 14th, 30th
However, as a rule, when designating a date in a letter, these endings are not currently used.
For the use of English ordinal numbers, see Ordinal Numerals / Ordinal Numerals

and the British version:
day month Year
December 22, 1990 - 12/22/90 or 22/12/90
Also about dates:
Remember, at school we wrote in a diary rus lit., English, PE? Then there were cm, km, l, kg... And if you sit down at the old university notes, you can find a special language in general, for example:
Starting from the 2nd half of the twentieth century in liters, considered as 1 of the middle of the communes of education and reproduction
Abbreviation or abbreviation
is the designation of words with initial letters ( USA, RF), shortening long words ( social, phone) or a kind of truncation of words or phrases ( sv-in, man). Our ancestors at one time achieved significant success in the use of abbreviation - what is that very DAZDRAPERMA(I translate for the younger generation: Long live the first of May!) or recently met a pearl KUKUTSAPOL- a? how do you?! That's great - Corn - the queen of the fields!!!
But back to our time. Abbreviations can be generally accepted, for example, measures of weight, length, and others. physical quantities, and their own, understandable to one or several people - here the abstract of any student will serve as an example (it’s better to go to a lecture than to rewrite from a friend later).
Abbreviations in English
Very often, students starting to learn a language come across abbreviations in textbooks and dictionaries. Below are some of the most common abbreviations. First, dictionaries necessarily indicate what part of speech the word is:
n - noun - noun
v - verb - verb
adj - adjective - adjective
adv – adverb - adverb
pron - pronoun - pronoun
prep - preposition - preposition
num - numeral - numeral
conj - conjunction - union
The following symbols may also appear:
Br E - British English - used in British English
Am E - American English - used in the American version
obj - object - addition
C / U - countable / uncountable - countable / uncountable (usually we are talking about nouns)
pl - plural - plural
s / sing - singular - singular
poss - possessive - possessive
pp - past participle - past participle
syn - synonym - synonym
colloq - colloquial - colloquial (the word is usually used in colloquial speech)
abbr - abbreviated - abbreviated (actually, what we are talking about here)
no - number - number
doc - document - document
p - page - page
ex - exercise - exercise
Now some Latin abbreviations:
a.m. /p.m. (ante meridiem/post meridiem)– before noon / after noon (It is worth noting here that both Europeans and Americans have difficulty accepting our 24-hour system, so instead of 18:00 it is better to use 6 pm. Also, be careful with time zones - if you, for example, take English lessons via Skype, always check the time difference with the teacher.)
e.g. (exampli gratia) - for example. In colloquial speech it is better to say example
etc. (et cetera) – and so on. Again, it will sound more natural in speech and so on
i.e. (id est) - that is. We speak that is…
NB (nota bene) - attention!
AD (Anno Domini) - AD. As a rule, we pronounce the letters of the abbreviation ( hey dee)
BC - BC. A little out of place, because the English phrase - Before Christ. We also pronounce letters, as in the alphabet.
CV - curriculum vitae - a summary, however, is typical for British English, Americans prefer to speak resume
vs (versus) - against, compared with. We pronounce the Latin word in the English manner - ["vɜ:səs]
And a few more common of English language abbreviations:
Mr - Mister - Mr.
Mrs - Mistress - mistress
Ms - miss - also a lady, we use it as an appeal to both a married and an unmarried woman, we pronounce
, unlike Miss - an appeal to a girl.
St - Street or Saint - the same abbreviation for the street and for the saint.
B&B - Bed and Breakfast - hotel (respectively, "bed and breakfast")
DIY - Do it yourself - do it yourself (toys for adult uncles)
FAQ – frequently asked questions- frequently asked questions (it occurs so often that even without decoding it is clear what it is about)
OAP - old-age pensioner - pensioner
GMT - Greenwich Mean Time - Greenwich Mean Time
AC/DC – alternating current / direct current- alternating / direct current (there is in every instruction for electrical appliances)
I hope these abbreviations will help you a little in learning English, because you will definitely meet them. Yes, you can’t get away from abbreviations, they exist in any language ... I wrote about any language, and thought - but what about, interestingly, the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans with their hieroglyphs? Do they cut anything? I know for sure that they are using the Latin alphabet more and more, especially in chats, in SMS, in Skype. But the abbreviations in online communication will be discussed in the next article.
