New words in Russian
Trans-national languages, especially English keep penetrating Russian more and more. Kind of drives me crazy. Here's a list of words that have caught my eye so far, and this isn't even counting the Italian coffee/Starbuck's vocabulary that is now ubiquitous.
Russian | English pronunciation | Meaning |
мохи́то | moe-HEE-toe | mojito (but w/o alcohol) |
флэт уайт | flet oo-ite | a latte with less foam |
айс-ти | eyes-tee | iced tea |
смузи | smoozee | smoothie |
I'll update this table regularly as I run across new ones.
