I need a consensus
Ok...I want opinions. Do you think the phrase "o.k." is neutral or affirmative? This is sort of a leftover from last semester's Russian class that still bugs me in Russian II. My teacher insists it's an affirmative phrase that doesn't really have an equal in Russian. Russians have a word that, spelled with english letters with english letters phonetically, sounds like "narmaya" (pronounced like narm-eye-ah) and it's completely neutral. Not good or bad. I contend that "o.k." can be completely neutral but doesn't have to be. Thoughts?
