| Jun 29, 2018 at 12:00 | comment | added | Arioch | @Alone-zee that phrase lacks a verb (well, maybe it was to be there in the omitted part, just that it is not there yet. I perceive it, when expeanded, to be kind of "Мне вот интересно, можно ли когда-нибудь [по]лететь на Луну" ), so sounds a bit weird. I feel more idiomatic would be "Интересно, можно ли БУДЕТ когда-нибудь ..." or "Интересно, УДАСТСЯ ли когда-нибудь ..." or "Интересно, СМОЖЕМ ли МЫ когда-нибудь ..." instead. The two latter variants additionally express your attitude to the prospect: you explicitly hope for that with to eventually be granted. | |

| Jun 28, 2018 at 9:20 | comment | added | Quassnoi♦ | @Alone-zee: this is a neutral question ("I wonder if...") and does not convey the element of surprise. Both неужели and разве assume you did not really believe in Moon flights before. | |
| Jun 28, 2018 at 9:15 | comment | added | Con-gras-tue-les-chiens | I wonder if "Мне вот интересно, можно ли когда-нибудь ..." is close in meaning to "неужели" in my remark, albeit somewhat more enthusiastically hopeful about the prospect. | |
| Jun 28, 2018 at 8:21 | comment | added | Arioch | I'd say there is. "Разве" is less generic and used less often, it is more pessimistic. | |
| Jun 27, 2018 at 20:38 | comment | added | yury10578 | Upping this, the subtle difference is there, but frankly, there's no difference in real use of these two. | |
