surely; (I) thank you;

AK:
наверно is probably or maybe

AK-NOTE

The cigarette (nominative) : папироса or папироска.

папироска is diminutive - small cigarette

Here is the same sentence in the singular :
Вот спичка проклятая, не зажигается.

Damned match won't light.

Where is the box (nominative): Где коробка?
— Give me the box (accusative) : Дайте мне коробку.
— The match is in the box : Спичка в коробке.

Купе [купэ], the (train wagon) compartment, the coupé,
a foreign, imperfectly russified word,
is not declined (like пальто, бюро, etc.) (pron. coo-paih)
— Входить, to enter; literally «in-go» : « в-ходить ».

Входить means to enter or to be entering.

Зажигать : to light up, to ignite
зажигаться, lit. to light up oneself
(in the sense of "to be lighted" - kind of passive form in this case);
зажигалка, a lighter ("an object that ignites", feminine)

Here is the pipe (nominative) : Вот трубка.
— You see the pipe : Вы видите трубку.
— The tobacco is in the pipe : Табак в трубке.

Вот трубка is more like "here is a pipe"
Вот эта трубка means "here is the/this pipe".

A corruption of вчера, yesterday.
— Бить, to beat;
я бил, I beat or I was beating.
— Compare : быть, to be; я был, I was.

- вчерася is not a corruption per se, ся means "-self",
so result is more like "the same yesterday"
- бить here means "to thrash"

Do not forget that the е has a more liquid sound under the stress :
вы имеете, you possess, is sounded eemiĕietiĕ.
— Билет: beeliĕtt - a ticket.
