...and the adjective: zhadnyy
I love the way it sounds.
I know a splendid Russian lady who has a hair salon, when she speaks it is pure honey.

мед , med,( mead) honey beer ...but, if one were to be a tad more ...not romantic, but ...I don't know, then, милая ....... милая, просто говорю... " honey, I'm just saying"... милая,(honey) being a term of endearment.
Anyway..... what a waffle.... although not one of the "romantic" lingos (русский..russkiy) ...I too love the sound of the eastern European accent.

:lol: Back in the mid-1950s my Dad (who taught English and History) was trying to learn Russian. He was always quoting a lullaby, the first line of which sounded like:

"Spee moi yennetz, moi procrazne"

Us kids - I was about 6 at the time - all made our own translation, and 'yennets' entered the family vocabulary as a general term for "innards" especially where gears were involved, and an offer to spee someone's yennets was not at all friendly :rolleyes:
So much for glasnost :D

'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

Back in the '50s the Cold War was well into the chill, so quite a radical thing to do!
Imagine being told to behave or "I'll spee yer yennets!" Terrifying :)

I am free to a good home where a busty, blond, blue-eyed, Scandinavian blond resides, with a Harley Davidson '59 Panhead motorcycle parked in her garage for my everyday use.
The best of both worlds!
..I might even learn Scandinavian?... :rolleyes: ...!

What is Scandinavian for ...WOO-HOO!... :D ...!

Pail... :uk: ... :lol: ... :lol: ...!
