In Russian and Armenian symbol @ is pronounced as собака (means dog ). It's official meaning (you can hear it in commercial and news) When you want to number things, you use # for it (#1, #2) in english. In russian you should use № (№1, №2, №3) Using digits - don't use comma to separate thousands etc. 100,250 would be translated as 100250 "Dot" you use to separate decimals is translated as comma 1.25 is 1,25 In URLs "dot" is translated as "точка". So domain .RU would be точка-ру

I remember my first impression: american guy was totally shocked by very first sms he recieved from russian friend. It was with latin letters but just some abrakadabra. So, what is pecular about sms language? Text message in english could contain 180 signs, but in russian it has a limit of 70 signs per sms. This was a primary reason why russian use latin letters in sms quite often. Words are transliterated as it is but probably this matches will make it easier for you. Note: do not try to read letters in combinations, as long as in russian all letters are pronounced. For example kh would be кх, not x (as it sounds in english) 1) ж is zh , z and asterix 2) ч is ch and 4 3) ь is b or ' 4) ш is sh , w 5) е is equal to ё 6) щ is sh, sch 7) ц is c, sc, ts 8) з is z, 3 (digit) 9) я is ja, ya 10) ю is ju, yu 11) ы is bl, y, i 12) й - j, y,i 13) г is g and r (resembles russian letter) 14) д is d and g Here are several examples of such phrases: Privet, ya to4no n...

Recently I found in this blog a question (sorry for a delay, anyway) about gaming russian. 1) Of cause - and you know it - the main idea of gaming russian is - it is as short as possible. Examples нзчт (не за что) - don't mention it ща (сейчас) - now or in a second спс (спасибо) - thank you 2) The second thing you need to consider - gaming russian was created on the base of gaming english, because in the very beginning all games in russia were on english. That's why words like below exist: респаун - respawn левелап - level-up экспа - experience квест - quest 3) You also need to remember that gamers use a lot of Padonkovsky slang For example мну - i, me, mine учите матчасть - Go learn the basics (I'm the smartest here) 4) There's no common rules beyound that. Each game has it's own specific words. I can only say that transliteration is not a rule, using common(for english and russin) symbols is not a rule too 5) A little advice for those who want to gather the sampl...

Recently I've shown how slang loanwords are composed in russian and here is a list of 12 common russian loanwords. For your convenience I've marked roots. За логин иться - to log in Пуш ить - to push, especially project or people За пост ить - to send a post Менедж ить - to manage (by the way, the word manager has 2 spellings in russian - манагер and менеджер(formal)) Гам ать - to play a computer game. Sound a in г а мать is a variant of reading "game. За бук ировать - to book somethig, mostly about hotel room Шопп иться -to go shopp ing За зип овать - to compress someting is winzip Раз лоч ить - to un lock especially about unlocking device for usage with another operator За лоч ить - to lock (computer) Монитор ить - to monitor smth За комит ить - to commit

In Russian is quite common to use foreign (especially English) words. These loanwords are usually modified by language in a certain way and in a while become new slang words. Russian could understand these words easily, but for foreigners these words become a headache. Every Russian knows how it works. In Russian almost every word has preposition, root, and ending. Preposition gives a direction, root is what the word is, ending is about single-plural, cases, imperative etc. Then let’s take “ Log in ” or “ Зайти ” in Russian. By the way, “ Зайти ” is not a perfect translation of “ Log in ” but in a single word it could be closest. Look how the word Зайти is composed: Зайти = За (direction – in ) + йти (derivative from идти, means to go ) Now you see, “Зайти” means “to go in”, not “to log in” Then let’s compose a loanword. All we need to do is to change the root. За + login Now we have the base, all we need in now is transliterate login into Russian and add typical ending: За + ...
